The effects of inclusion in the diet of different sources of soya bean meal (SBM) on growth performance, total tract apparent digestibility (TTAD) and apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of major dietary components and mucosal ileum morphology were studied in Iberian pigs weaned at 30 days of age. From 30 to 51 days of age (phase I), there was a control diet based on regular soya bean meal (R-SB...

The purpose of this study was to determine effects of feeding canola and soybean products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition of adipose tissue and muscle of slaughter bulls and steers and on fatty acid composition of kidney and liver total lipids of bulls. Products included canola meal (CM), extruded canola (EC, full-fat), ground canola (GC, full-fat), soybean meal (SBM), and extr...

The aim of the current study was to evaluate the replacement effect of soybean meal (SBM) at different levels (0 as D1, 33 as D2, 67 as D3 and 100% as D4 based on crude protein (CP) content) by guar meal (GM) on ruminal gas production kinetics, ruminal digestibility and fermentation characteristics of a fattening diet for lambs. Three experiments were conducted. The first experiment of 144-h in...

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...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this experiment was to determine apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acid (AA) in 15 sources of soybean meal (SBM) produced from soybeans from different countries and subsequently to establish equations for predicting the AID and SID in SBM based on their chemical composition. METHODS Eighteen...

In a previous study, several histological alterations were found in the liver of gilthead seabream Ž . fed with a diet containing 30% soybean meal SBM . In the current study, SBM containing diets Ž . were supplemented with either potassium phosphate, zinc sulfate or phytase Aspergillus ficuum , or increasing the dietary ny3rny6 fatty acids ratio to meet that of a fish meal based diet. Diet Ž . ...

An experiment was conducted in growing pigs to investigate the additivity of apparent ileal digestibility (AID) or standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and AA in mixed diets containing multiple protein sources. Using the determined AID or SID for CP and AA in corn, soybean meal (SBM), corn distillers' dried grains with solubles (DDGS), or canola meal (CM), the AID or SID for 4 mixed die...

Complementary responses between rendered protein meals were investigated in this study. In a preliminary trial using 12 mature wethers in two replications, there was no difference (P greater than .20) in N digestibility between meat and bone meal (MBM; 96.7%), feather meal (FTH; 89.8%), and soybean meal (SBM; 98.7%). In a 112-d growth trial, individually fed calves (n = 120; 230 kg) received gr...

A study was conducted using 63 Angus crossbred heifers (234.5 ± 18.97 kg) to compare Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) versus Soybean Meal (SBM) as a supplemental protein source. Animals were assigned to three treatments, which were SBM and two levels of DDGS, fed as a top-dressed supplement. Treatments were formulated to provide .30 kg SBM (12.5% CP, 1.08 Mcal NEg/kg; SBM), .30 kg D...

Corn, wheat, and soybean meal (SBM) have been primarily used as feedstuffs in animal feeding programs. However, it is necessary to explore evaluate alternative deal with variable costs the supply of these conventional feedstuffs. This study determined nutrient composition macadamia nut cake (MNC) its effect on growth performance broiler chickens fed at graded levels. A total 180 d-old chicks we...
