Simple SummaryTwo major concerns for sustainable swine production are the shortage of protein feed resources and the excretion of nitrogen and phosphorus into the environment. Those concerns can be partly alleviated by increasing nitrogen utilization by improving nutrition for pigs. This study observed that a low crude protein and dietary fiber supplemented diet can improve nitrogen utilization and reduce urinary nitrogen excretion. Additionally, late gestating sows have greater nitrogen utilization than those of early gestation, characterized by reduced nitrogen in urine and lower amino acids in serum. These findings offer nutritional solutions for improving nitrogen utilization.To investigate the effects of dietary fiber (DF), crude protein (CP) level, and gestation stage on nitrogen utilization, 28 Landrace-Yorkshire cross gestating sows at parity two were randomly divided into four dietary treatments with seven duplicates of one pig with a repeated-measures design. The diets comprised one with normal crude protein (CP) of 13.3%, one with a low CP diet of 10.1%, and two diets, one with dietary fiber (DF) supplementation of inulin and cellulose at the ratio of 1:1 and one without DF. The total litter size, litter size alive, and newborn birthweight of piglets did not differ between treatment groups. Sows that received high DF levels had greater nitrogen output in feces, lower urinary nitrogen, and increased nitrogen retention. Sows that received a low CP diet had reduced nitrogen excretion in feces and urine, lower nitrogen retention, and an unchanged nitrogen retention ratio. Sows at the late stage of gestation on days 95 to 98 had lower nitrogen excretion in urine and greater nitrogen retention than in the early stage of gestation on days 35 to 38, associated with a significant decrease in serum amino acids in late gestation. Maternal protein deposition was increased by high DF, decreased by low CP, and lower in late gestation compared with early gestation. Collectively, DF improved nitrogen utilization by decreasing urine nitrogen output, and nitrogen utilization increased as gestation advanced.
