An experiment was conducted to study the effects of substitution soybean meal (SBM) with canola meal (CM) and formulated diets based on total and digestible amino acid on performance, egg quality, organs weight and blood parameters of laying hens from 73 to 83 weeks of age. A total of 128 laying hens were distributed by completely randomized design in a 2×2 factorial arrangement with 2 protein ...

Whole cottonseed (WCS) and soybean meal (SBM) were evaluated as potential supplements for preconditioning beef calves in Florida. Weaned calves were fed 2.78 lb/hd/d as fed of WCS or 1.40 lb/hd/d as fed of SBM for a 42-d preconditioning period. Steer calves fed WCS had lower preconditioning weight gains than steers supplemented with SBM (30.7 lb/ hd vs 40.1lb/hd). An economic evaluation of prec...

Research was conducted to determine the effects of enzymatically hydrolyzing raffinose and stachyose from soybean meal (SBM) on fecal oligosaccharide concentration and growth performance of chicks fed a corn-SBM diet. The alpha-galactosidase treatment was optimized for oligosaccharide degradation. Enzyme treatment degraded raffinose and stachyose in SBM by 69 and 54%, respectively, compared to ...

The objective of this experiment was to determine whether the digestibility of CP and AA in a mixed diet fed to growing pigs is better predicted when based on standardized ileal digestibility coefficients (SID) or apparent ileal digestibility coefficients (AID). Eight growing pigs (initial BW = 92.1 +/- 3.19 kg) were surgically equipped with a T-cannula in the distal ileum and arranged in an 8 ...

This study aimed to evaluate whole white lupin (cv. Amiga) seeds as an alternative dietary crude protein source to soybean and sunflower meal. Diets contained soybean meal (10%, SBM diet), sunflower meal (17%, SFM diet) or white lupin seeds (15%, WL diet) as the main protein source. The experimental diets were similar in the level of crude protein (16.2%), starch (15.0%), fat (4.6%) and in the ...

Previous results indicated that performance of chicks fed a high level (10%) of poultry by-product meal(PBM) was lower than performance of chicks fed a corn-soybean meal (SBM) diet. The latter difference was hypothesized to be due to variation in digestible amino acid (AA) levels among the diets. This study evaluated diets containing PBM formulated on equivalent total AA basis vs. an equivalent...

in this research to investigate of the effect of tannin`s type and level on rumenal degradation of soybean meal (sbm) and canola meal (cm), two experiments have be done. at first experiment supplements were treated by semi-pure tannin of pomegranate-pistachio (pp), in different levels (0, 10 and 15 % of dm for sbm and 0, 5 and 10% of dm for cm). in second experiment, these supplements were trea...

Eight mature dogs (19.3 +/- 0.1 kg) were used in an experiment to compare the effects of feeding soybeans containing low concentrations of oligosaccharides and phytate on nutrient availability in complete foods fed to dogs. All foods were formulated to be isonitrogenous and contained low-oligosaccharide, low-phytate soybean meal (LLM); conventional soybean meal (SBM); low-oligosaccharide, low-p...

The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of feeding zinc-treated soybean meal (Zn-SBM) on ruminal fermentation patterns and duodenal AA flows in steers fed diets based on corn silage and corn. Six steers (385 kg) fitted with ruminal, duodenal, and ileal cannulas were used in a replicated 3 x 3 Latin square design experiment with 14-d periods. Diets were supplemented with solvent...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a partial substitution of soybean meal with field pea (Pisum sativum) in Holstein lactating dairy cow diets on dry matter intake, milk yield and composition, blood metabolites, rumen ammonia-N concentration and pH. Eighteen lactating Holstein cows were randomly assigned into three groups based on parity, days in milk, and mil...
