1 Introduction Pork meat is a valuable source of essential nutrients and energy, and its quality has significant implications for human health. It provides a wide array of nutrients, including high-quality proteins, lipids, fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins (Pereira and Vicente 2013). The proteins in pork are composed of amino acids, including essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must therefore be obtained through diet (Wu et al. 2014).

1 Introduction Corn, a crucial feed ingredient is highly valued in livestock diets primarily due to its predictable nutritional composition, high energy density, and digestibility. Unlike some alternative feed ingredients that can vary significantly in nutrient content due to environmental and processing factors, corn provides a stable and reliable source of energy, primarily in the form of starch (Amornthewaphat and Attamangkune 2008).
