This research is a nutritional assessment of a fungal (Aspergillus fumigatus 1-21A) single-cell protein (SCP) that was fed to rats and pigs. The sun-dried biomass resulted from fermentation of either fresh roots or cassava meal substrates and had the following percentage composition: crude protein (N x 6.25), 34.3; ether extract, 3.1; crude fiber, 20.0 ash, 4.3; N-free extract, 27.9; Ca, .20 an...

Abstract Soybean meal (SBM) is a common plant-based protein source in the swine industry. Its crude content 44 to 50%. However, presence of antinutritional factors such as high molecular weight, difficult digest proteins, phytate and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) limit its use pigs. We aimed fermentation approach improve nutrient value SBM. have screened, from different sources, identified b...

At hatch, 360 one-d old Cobb500 male broilers were placed in battery cages to determine the effect of soybean meal (SBM) from different Midwest varieties on growth performance broilers. There 6 per cage and 15 replicates treatment. Dietary treatments cons0isted 1 4 sources varying quality determined by crude protein (CP) content processed into SBM. Two consisted soybeans a similar region either...

Soybean meal (SBM) is a premier source of protein for feeding food-producing animals. However, its nutritional value can be compromised by oxidation. In this study, total 54 sources solvent extracted SBM (SSBM) and eight mechanically (MSBM), collected from different commercial producers geographic locations in the United States during years 2020 2021, were examined chemometric analysis to deter...

Our objective was to determine the effects of frequency of soybean meal (SBM) supplementation on forage intake and net portal-drained viscera (PDV) and hepatic flux of nutrients in ewes that consume low-quality forage. Six Polled Dorset ewes (BW+/-SD = 82+/-9 kg) fitted with hepatic venous, hepatic portal, abdominal aortic, and mesenteric venous catheters were used in a replicated 3 x 3 Latin s...

Sixty-six barrows (initial BW: 27.4 ± 2.8 kg) were used to determine the standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P in copra meal (CM), palm kernel expellers from Indonesia (PKE-IN), palm kernel expellers from Costa Rica (PKE-CR), palm kernel meal from Costa Rica (PKM), and soybean meal (SBM) without or with exogenous phytase. Pigs were housed individually in metabolism cages and allott...

A finishing trial and a metabolism trial were conducted to evaluate sources of supplemental protein in dry-rolled corn (DRC) and dry-rolled grain sorghum (DRGS) diets fed to large-framed calves and to determine effects of grain and protein source on ruminal metabolism. In Exp. 1, 144 Charolais crossbred steer and heifer calves (BW = 269 +/- 3 kg) were used in a randomized complete block design ...

Growing conditions and processing technologies to which soybeans (SB) are exposed have an effect on digestibilities of AA found in the resultant soybean meals (SBM). This study evaluated SBM from five major SB-producing countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, India, and the United States). An industry representative in each country collected samples of unprocessed SB and SBM subjectively determine...

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 ...

Hereford (n = 48), Senepol (n = 42), and reciprocal crossbred (n = 34) heifers from two consecutive calf crops were stratified by breed, age, and BW to receive bahiagrass ( Paspalum notatum) hay offered free choice and 150 mg monensin·heifer−1·d−1 in addition to either 2.27 kg·heifer−1·d−1 of a 75% cracked corn and 25% soybean meal mixture (CS) or .91 kg·heifer−1·d−1 of soybean meal (SBM). Heif...
