Valine is an essential amino acid and a type of branched-chain amino acid.Due to the involvement of branched-chain amino acids in various metabolic pathways,there has been a surge of interests in valine nutrition and its role in animal physiology.In pigs,the interactions between valine and other branched-chain amino acids or aromatic amino acids are complex.In this review,we delve into the interaction mechanism,metabolic pathways,and biological functions of valine.Appropriate valine supplementation not only enhances growth and reproductive performances,but also modulates gut microbiota and immune functions.Based on past observations and interpretations,we provide recommended feed levels of valine for weaned piglets,growing pigs,gilts,lactating sows,barrows and entire males.The summarized valine nutrient requirements for pigs at different stages offer valuable insights for future research and practical applications in animal husbandry.
