Amino acid supplementation counteracts negative effects of low protein diets on tail biting in pigs more than extra environmental enrichment

Low protein (LP) diets may increase the occurrence of damaging behaviours, like tail biting, in pigs. We investigated the effect of supplementing a LP diet with indispensable amino acids (IAA) or environmental enrichment on tail biting.
