Extruded Blend of Soybean Meal and Sunflower Seeds for Dairy Cattle in Early Lactation

Effects of replacing soybean meal with canola meal and decreasing ‎crude ‎protein ‎on milk production and nutrient utilization of dairy cows in early lactation

This study investigated the effects of replacing soybean meal (SM) with canola meal (CM) and decreasing crude protein (‎CP) levels in CM based diets on performance of dairy cows when different sources of processed grains and CM were used. Canola meal was untreated or roasted at 130°C for 30 minutes and grains sources (corn and barley) were either ground or steamed-flaked. Eight Holstein cows (‎...

In situ Evaluation of Ruminal Degradability and Intestinal Digestibility of Sunflower Meal Compared to Soybean Meal

The aim of this study was to compare the nutritional value of sunflower meal (SFM) and soybean meal (SBM) protein by determining both its ruminal degradability and intestinal digestibility. Three non lactating Jersey cows fitted with a rumen and T-type duodenal cannulas were used to estimate rumen degradability and intestinal digestibility of SFM and SBM dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP). ...

Replacing Conventionally Processed Soybean Meal with Extruded/Expelled Soybean Meal in Swine Diets

Relationship between Early Lactation BCS and Mid-Lactation Feed Efficiency in Dairy Cattle

and Implications The relationships between body condition score (BCS) observed during the first 45 days of lactation and two measures of feed efficiency, residual feed intake (RFI) and gross efficiency (GE) defined as milk energy / DMI, measured during mid-lactation were assessed in 255 first lactation Holstein cows. No significant differences in BCS at calving and at approximately 40 days in m...

Using Extruded-Expelled Soybean Meal in Swine Diets

Jason Woodworth, Graduate Research Assistant Extrusion processing is an effective means of improving the nutritional value of whole soybeans fed to swine. Recently, Insta-Pro International has combined extrusion technology with expelling, an oil extraction process, to produce an extruded-expelled soybean meal (Insta-Pro ExpressTM extruder/press system). The resulting soybean meal contains sligh...
