The effects of supplementation with grass silage and replacement of some corn in the concentrate with soybean meal (SBM) on milk production, and milk fatty acid (FA) profiles were evaluated in a replicated 4 x 4 Latin square study using 16 dairy cows grazing pasture composed of ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and white clover. Each experimental period lasted for 3 wk. The 4 dietary treatments wer...

An experiment was conducted to measure the effect of adding soybean oil to soybean meal (SBM) and soy protein concentrate (SPC) on apparent (AID) and standardized (SID) ileal digestibility of CP and AA by growing pigs. A second objective was to compare AID and SID of AA in a new high-protein variety of full fat soybeans (FFSB) to values obtained in other soybean products. Commercial sources of ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the concurrent validity of the Smart Balance Master (SBM) tests in individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury. DESIGN Correlational study. SUBJECTS A total of 32 individuals with an American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale D spinal cord injury able to walk 10 m independently, with or without walking assistive devices. METH...

Maize and solvent extracted soybean meal (SBM) were ground through a 2 or 3 mm screen, resulting in “fine” and “coarse” material. The mean particle sizes of fine and coarse feed were 0.62 vs. 0.96 mm (maize) and 0.63 vs. 1.01 mm (SBM). Maize or SBM of either particle size was included in experimental diets at two different levels at the expense of maize starch. Three week old broilers had free ...

ranking of critical inputs was, for diet 1, SBM kd (r=-0.5), CS A fraction (r=-0.34), and dried corn kd (r=-0.25), for diet 2, SBM kd (r=-0.55), grass hay CP (r=0.32), and dried corn kd (r=-0.31). For the CNCPS, the ranking was, for diet 1, SBM kd of B2 pool (r=-0.5), dried corn kd (r=-0.26), and WB CP (r=0.26), for diet 2, SBM kd (r=-0.52), grass hay CP (r=0.36), and dried corn kd (r=-0.35). O...

An experiment was conducted to determine protein quality in processed protein sources using the content of AA, -methylisourea (OMIU)-reactive Lys, Maillard reaction products (MRP), and cross-link products; the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and AA; and growth performance in growing pigs as criteria. Differences in protein quality were created by secondary toasting (at 95°C for 30 ...

Inclusion of conventional dark-seeded (Brassica napus) and novel yellow-seeded (Brassica juncea) canola meal (CM) can potentially replace soybean (Glycine max) meal (SBM) in pig diets. Our objective was to examine the preference of weaned pigs fed diets containing SBM or B. napus or B. juncea CM and to compare it against previously reported growth performance data (Exp. 1 and 2). In Exp. 1 and ...

Accurate assessment of gene methylation in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded archived tissue (FF-PEAT) by microdissection remains challenging because the tissue volume is small and DNA is damaged. In addition, methods for methylation assessment, such as methylation-specific PCR (MSP), require sodium bisulfite modification (SBM) on purified DNA, which causes major loss of DNA. On-slide SBM, in w...

An experiment with 2 trials (28 d/trial) was conducted to determine body composition, tissue deposition, and utilization of Lys for protein deposition (PD) of barrows and gilts fed -Lys·HCl (CLys) or protein-bound Lys in soybean meal (SBM). Thirty-two growing pigs (16 barrows and 16 gilts; average initial BW of 18.6 kg) were used in each of 2 trials. Four pigs (2 barrows and 2 gilts) were eutha...
