Compared with the control group, plasma lysine (P=0.052) and methionine (P=0.082) tended to decrease in the SDPP and YE groups, but plasma isoleucine increased significantly both in the SDPP and YE groups (P<0.01), and plasma valine only increased in the YE group (P<0.05), and leucine tended to increase in the SDPP and YE groups; plasma glutamate and glutamine concentrations decreased by 20.5% (P=0.07) and 19.02% (P=0.08) in the weanling piglets from YE group.
