Key Points

The research investigates how supplementation with amino acids and minerals affects growth and quality in finishing pigs.
Conducted a trial with 120 castrated male pigs weighing about 59.7 kg.
Divided pigs into four groups with different dietary treatments: control, amino acids, minerals, and amino acids + minerals.
Evaluated factors such as growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality.
Pigs receiving amino acids showed improved growth performance compared to control.
Mineral supplementation enhanced meat quality characteristics.
Combination of amino acids and minerals resulted in better fatty acid profiles.
