The present study was to explore the Ile requirement of piglets fed 18% crude protein (CP) diets. Two hundred and fifty 28-day-old Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire piglets (8.37 ± 1.92 kg) were randomly divided into 5 dietary treatments (10 piglets per replicate, 5 barrows and 5 gilts per replicate) with 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65% standardized ileal digestible (SID) Ile-to-Lys ratios, and the SID Lys was formulated to 1.19%. The experimental design consisted of two phases (d 1 to 14 and d 15 to 28). Results showed that average daily gain (ADG) had a tendency to quadratically increase as the SID Ile-to-Lys ratio increased ( = 0.09), and the optimum SID Ile-to-Lys ratios required to maximize ADG were 48.33% and 54.63% for broken-line linear model and quadratic polynomial model, respectively. Different SID Ile-to-Lys ratios had no significant effects on average daily feed intake and gain-to-feed ratio. Dry matter ( < 0.01), CP ( = 0.01), ether extract ( = 0.04), gross energy ( < 0.01) and organic matter ( < 0.01) digestibility increased quadratically. Serum total cholesterol levels decreased linearly ( = 0.01) and quadratically ( < 0.01); aspartate aminotransferase ( < 0.01), interleukin-1β ( = 0.01), and tumor necrosis factor-α ( < 0.01) levels decreased quadratically; immunoglobulin G ( = 0.03) and immunoglobulin M ( = 0.01) concentrations increased quadratically. Serum Ser levels decreased linearly ( < 0.01) and quadratically ( = 0.01); Glu ( = 0.02), Arg ( = 0.05), and Thr ( = 0.03) levels decreased quadratically; Gly ( < 0.01) and Leu ( = 0.01) levels decreased linearly; Ile ( < 0.01) concentration increased linearly. Duodenal villus height ( < 0.01) and villus height to crypt depth ratio ( < 0.01) increased quadratically. The deficiency or excess of Ile decreased short chain fatty acid-producing bacteria abundance and increased pathogenic bacteria abundance. Overall, taking ADG as the effect index, the optimum SID Ile-to-Lys ratios of piglets offered 18% CP diets were 48.33% and 54.63% based on two different statistical models, respectively, and the deficiency or excess of lle negatively affected piglet growth rates and health status.

The objective of this study was to use the recently determined ME and standardized ileal digestibility () values of AA for a novel high-protein distillers dried grains with solubles (; PureStream 40, Lincolnway Energy LLC, Nevada, IA) to determine the optimal dietary inclusion rates in diets for nursery pigs. Three hundred and sixty pigs (BW = 6.79 ± 0.
