Nonruminant Nutrition: Feedstuffs & Methodology

1293 NONRUMINANT NUTRITION SYMPOSIUM : Controlling feed cost by including alternative ingredients into pig diets : A review 1 , 2

Sustained price increases for traditional cereal grain and protein meal feed commodities have forced the pork industry to consider the dietary inclusion of alternative feedstuffs. Crop seed may serve as feedstuffs but their demand as feedstock for human food, biofuel, and bioindustrial products has increased. Together with these products, coproducts such as distillers dried grains with solubles...

Validation of two discriminant strategies applied to NIRS data spectra for detection of animal meals in feedstuffs

For developing qualitative or quantitative applications with spectroscopic data, such as near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), different methodologies have been proposed in the mathematical statistical and computer science literature. Useful chemometrical alternatives have emerged, such as support vector machines (SVM), widely used for modeling multivariate and non-linear systems. These methods ar...

Nonruminant Nutrition Phytase , What is New and What Needs to be Done ?

The majority of the P in cereal grains and oilseed meals is organically bound as phytic acid or phytate. This form of P is nutritionally unavailable to nonruminant animals due to the lack of phytase in their digestive tract. As a result, swine and poultry diets must be supplemented with highly available, inorganic sources of P to meet their P requirements. The poor bioavailability of P in the n...
