Nutrient digestibility of soybean products in grower-finisher pigs1

Nutrient digestibility of lentil and regular- and low-oligosaccharide, micronized full-fat soybean fed to grower pigs1

A study was conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of AA and calculate the NE value for regular-oligosaccharide, micronized full-fat soybean (R-MFFSB), low-oligosaccharide, micronized full-fat soybean (LO-MFFSB), lentil, and enzymatically hydrolyzed casein (EHC) for growing pigs. Six ileal-cannulated barrows (31.4 kg BW) were fed 6 diets in a 6 × 6 Latin square. Five ...

Effect of soybean meal particle size on amino acid and energy digestibility in grower-finisher swine.

A study was conducted using the ileal digestibility technique with grower-finisher pigs to evaluate the effects of particle size reduction of soybean meal (SBM) on amino acid and energy digestibility. Soybean meal was processed through a hammer mill to achieve average particle sizes of 900, 600, 300, and 150 microm. The treatments included the use of two soybean meal sources and soy protein con...

Remixing Lightweight Pigs in the Grower-finisher

A recent study has shown that sorting and regrouping lightweight pigs with pigs of similar size does not improve their growth performance and carcass characteristics. M. C. Brumm and coworkers (2002) hypothesized that managing variation in the nursery and grower-finisher by sorting and regrouping lightweight pigs might improve their performance. Five experiment stations (in Illinois, Iowa, Mich...

The Effects of Dietary Fat Supplementation on Grower/ Finisher Pig Performance and Digestibility

Nutrient digestibility of lentil and regular- and low-oligosaccharide, micronized full-fat soybean fed to grower pigs.

A study was conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of AA and calculate the NE value for regular-oligosaccharide, micronized full-fat soybean (R-MFFSB), low-oligosaccharide, micronized full-fat soybean (LO-MFFSB), lentil, and enzymatically hydrolyzed casein (EHC) for growing pigs.
