Functional Amino Acids,growth And Immunity

Functional amino acids (FAA)are those that elicit a metabolic response independent of their necessity for protein synthesis. Supplementation of FAA may offset growth deficits (Ji et al,2019; Moreira et al.,2020), boost intestinal immunity (Ren et al, 2020), and improve blood flow to tissues and organs(Peine et al,2020)through mechanisms that include activation of cellular signaling modules(DeBoer et al.,2018; Yan et al.,2018). The piglet often is faced with health challenges that include exposure to pathogens. A recent study reports that FAA can alleviate partially the negative impacts of Salmonella infection in weaned piglets(Rodrigues et al, 2020). These results provide further evidence of FAA as a critical modifier of intestinal health and antioxidant state.
