To combat this issue, scientists evaluated the effect of the inclusion level of varying dietary maize bran on different components of pig manure. In an attempt to find the perfect level of maize bran in pig\u2019s diet that would have the least negative impact on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By series of experiments, the team was successful in demonstrating that the higher levels of maize bran in the pig\u2019s diet increased nitrogen and phosphorous excretion in feces, thus contributing to greenhouse gases. According to them, incorporating 30% maize bran in pig diets is considered as the optimum level for both better growth of the animal with least effect on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This research work has been published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/scialert.net\/abstract\/doi=pjn.2021.83.89\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pakistan Journal of Nutrition<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-5222637924397992\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-5222637924397992\" data-ad-slot=\"1054784925\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although integral to many farming systems, livestock production is nevertheless associated with many impacts that are deemed socially undesirable.
