The objective of this study was to estimate the nutritional requirement of standardized ileal digestible (SID) Lys on growth performance and economics of 230to 280-lb finishing pigs housed in a commercial environment and fed diets not containing ractopamine HCl. A total of 1,101 gilts (PIC L327 × 1050, initially 233.4 lb BW) were used in a 28-d growth trial. Pens were blocked by BW and were randomly assigned to diets with 27 pigs per pen and 7 pens per treatment in a randomized complete block design. Diets were corn and soybean meal-based and fed in meal form, with dietary treatments consisting of: 0.52, 0.58, 0.64, 0.70, 0.76, or 0.82% SID lysine. Increasing SID Lys increased (linear, P < 0.05) ADG and final BW, resulting in pigs fed 0.82% SID Lys having the greatest final BW. There was no difference in ADFI among pigs fed different SID Lys levels. Feed efficiency was improved (linear, P < 0.05) with increasing SID Lys. In addition, there was an improvement (linear, P < 0.05) in caloric efficiency on both a ME and NE basis with increasing SID Lys. Feed cost per pig increased (linear, P < 0.05) as SID lysine level increased. However, there was no difference in feed cost/lb gain. Total revenue per pig increased (linear, P < 0.05) while income over feed cost (IOFC) tended to increase (linear, P < 0.07) as SID lysine level increased. Quadratic polynomial and broken-line linear models to maximize ADG resulted in similar fit and predicted the SID Lys level required to maximize ADG to be greater than 0.82 and at 0.685% SID Lys, QP vs. BLL, respectively. Using the QP model, 95% of the maximum growth was predicted to be at 0.675% SID Lys. The best F/G was achieved at greater than 0.82 and at 0.648% SID Lys for QP vs. BLL, respectively, with 95% of lowest F/G predicted at 0.638% SID Lys using the QP model. IOFC was maximized by the QP and BLL model at 0.754 and 0.640% SID Lys, respectively. In summary, the SID lysine requirement for optimal ADG, F/G, and IOFC of finishing pigs is at least 0.64% SID Lys.
