a total of 300 one-day old male broilers (cobb 500) were randomly divided into four treatment groups. the groups comprised of 15 birds each, and were defined by diet and the birds in each group were fed 0 (control), 3, 5, or 7 kgy electron-beam irradiated diets. a total of 5 replicates were performed. the chemical composition of the diet was not affected by irradiation.irradiation doses of 5 an...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of standardized ileal digestible (SID) Trp:Lys in grow-finish swine diets containing 30% dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS). Within each experiment, crystalline Lys and Trp replaced soybean meal to alter the dietary SID Trp:Lys concentration but maintain minimum ratios of other AA to Lys. In Exp. 1, 638 pigs (36.3 kg initial BW) ...

Values for the concentration of standardized ileal digestible (SID) CP, Lys, Met, Thr, and Trp from 34 sources of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) were obtained from a series of 5 experiments with the objective of predicting the concentration of SID AA from physical and chemical assays. The concentration of NDF, ADF, hemicellulose, acid detergent insoluble CP (ADICP), and KOH solubl...

A total of 216 weanling pigs with an initial BW of 6.23±0.93 kg were assi...

External markers for determination of nutrient digestibility have often been evaluated in conventional dry feeds but less often in conventional feeds such as human-type diets used in animal model studies. In the present study, 5 ileal-cannulated pigs were fed 5 types of soft bread-based diets supplemented with Cr(2)O(3) and AIA as digestibility markers for 1 wk in a Latin square design. Ileal c...

Expeller-pressed (EP) canola meal contains more residual oil than solvent-extracted canola meal and might be an attractive feedstuff for swine, but it has been poorly characterized. In Exp. 1, six ileal-cannulated barrows (36 kg of BW) were fed at 3x maintenance either a 44% EP canola meal diet or a N-free diet in a crossover design to measure energy and AA digestibility and calculate standardi...

The current study was conducted to determine the possibility of replacing soybean meal (SBM) in finisher pig diet completely with hydrolyzed feather meal (FM) with blood by supplementing with appropriate amino acids (AA) based on standardized ileal digestible (SID) AA in FM. Corn– SBM, positive control (POS) diets were formulated to contain 6.6 and 5.2 g true ileal digestible (TID) Lys/kg to sa...

BACKGROUND An infant formula that contained milk fermented by the bacteria Bifidobacterium breve and Streptococcus thermophilus (Lactofidus) was reported to alleviate functional digestive symptoms in infants. It was hypothesized that improved protein digestibility of the fermented infant formula could contribute to this effect. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the protein diges...

Fourteen ileally cannulated pigs (BW = 35 +/- 2 kg) were randomly allotted to a replicated 7 x 7 Latin square design experiment to evaluate the influence of the soybean oligosaccharides (OS), raffinose and stachyose, on ileal nutrient digestibility and fecal consistency. Semipurified diets containing soy protein concentrate (SPC) or soybean meal (SBM) as the sole protein sources were fed. Soy s...
