A total of 2,268 crossbred pigs (L337 × 1050, PIC; initially 5.5 ± 0.18 kg) were used in a 42-d growth study to evaluate the effects of 1,25(OH)D-glycoside provided from a plant extract on growth performance, bone characteristics, and serum criteria of nursery pigs.

Article Synopsis
- This study explored whether adding methionine (Met) to broiler diets boosts muscle growth through the regulation of protein synthesis and degradation pathways, with varying effects based on the Met source.
- Male Cobb-500 broilers were fed different diets with varying Met supplementation, revealing lower breast muscle weights in unsupplemented birds and some differing effects between Met sources.
- The findings indicated that while dietary Met did not significantly alter protein synthesis pathways, it did have minor effects on protein degradation markers, suggesting that Met supplementation primarily influences muscle growth through mechanisms other than direct changes in molecular pathways involved in protein synthesis.
