LYSINE CONTENT IN DIFERENT HYBRIDS OF MAIZE IN PIG'S DIETS

The aim of this study was to examine the content of lysine in maize, as one of the main compound of feeding mixtures for pigs. Sixteen commercial samples of maize hybrids, were analyzed for lysine content which was highly correlated with the level of protein, r = 0.86. Obtained results were compared to ones established by EVONIK. Analytical methods based on acid hydrolysis and detection by liquid chromatography was used by applying previously validated conditions. Limit of detection (LOD) for lysine in maize was 0.035%, while the limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.106%. Lysine content was ranged from 0.142% to 0.297% with the average value of 0.223% and standard deviation of 0.049%.
