Summary of main effects on nutrient digestibility of dietary inclusion of A. platensis in in vivo trials on swine.

Animals (Age/Initial Body Weight)	Inclusion Level in Feed and Duration of Trial	Main Effects	References
Piglets weaned at 28 days weighing 9.1 ± 1.1 kg	1% for 14 days	Increased gross energy digestibility coefficient Tended to enhance dry matter, organic matter and neutral detergent fibre digestibility	Furbeyre, et al. [75]
Piglets, weaned at 28 days weighing 12.0 ± 0.89kg	10% for 28 days	Increased total tract apparent digestibility of crude fat and acid detergent fibre (lysozyme supplementation) Decreased total tract apparent digestibility of crude protein (with or without lysozyme)	Martins, et al. [80]
9 week-old growing-finishing pigs weighing 22 ± 1.6 kg	9.5% with amino acid supplementation, mostly lysine, for 35 to 49 days	Digestibility was not analysed	Altmann, et al. [40]
Growing-finishing pigs weighing 60 kg	13% with amino acid suplementation, mostly lysine. for 10 days	No significant effect on apparent nitrogen digestibility	Neumann, et al. [69]
