Soybean meal (SBM) is a major protein source in poultry feeds and one of the best quality ingredients because of the relatively high protein content, good amino acid profile and bioavailability. But soybean meal quality is largely dependent on the processing technology and origins. In this experiment, effects of three different soybean meals were evaluated in layer (experiment 1) and broiler (e...

24 A study was conducted with Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) to determine the 25 apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of protein, phosphorus and energy in 26 practical feed ingredients. The digestible energy (DE) content was also evaluated. 27 Test ingredients were anchovy fishmeal, solvent-extracted soybean meal, corn 28 gluten and wheat meal. Due to their low cohesion, sole faeces...

Thirty-six four-way cross (Chester White X Landrace X Large White X Yorkshire) growing barrows and gilts were used to investigate the effects of replacing graded levels of protein from soybean meal with equivalent levels of protein from rubber seed meal in 16% CP semipurified diets on the performance characteristics, hematocrit, plasma metabolites and N utilization of pigs. The first diet (cont...

One hundred ninety-two steers were fed cottonseed meal, soybean meal or urea supplemented rations in which the corn grain was fed whole (with 5 percent corn silage) or in the high moisture or steam flaked form (with 14 percent corn silage dry matter added). Rates of gain and feed efficiencies were approximately equal for steers fed soybean meal and cottonseed meal and slightly superior to those...

Prebiotics have successfully been used to prevent infectious diseases in aquaculture and there is an increasing amount of literature that suggests that these products can also improve alternative protein utilization and digestion. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine whether prebiotic supplementation increased the growth efficiency, intestinal health, and disease resistance of ...

Forty-eight grower pigs were used to evaluate the effects of feeding low phytic acid (LPA) corn, LPA soybean meal, normal corn (NC), normal soybean meal (NSBM), and phytase on nutrient digestibility and excretion. Barrows were blocked by BW (initial BW=45.3+/-1.6 kg) and randomly assigned to 1 of 8 dietary treatments in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial arrangement (6 pigs/treatment). Pigs were fed twice d...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of substitution of soybean meal with canola meal and measure its effects on rumen anaerobic fungal population in lactation iranian of holstein cows. from d 5 to 56 postpartum, cows were fed diets that were isoenergetic containing soybean meal (sbm; n = 3) or canola meal (cm; n = 3). cows were housed in tie stalls and fed tmr two times a day. comp...
