Estimating The Net Energy Value Of Expelled, Extruded Soybean Meal When Fed To Nursery Pigs, Allison K. Blomme, Haley K. Wecker, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Charles R. Stark, Chad B. Paulk
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Solvent-extracted soybean meal (SSBM) is typically used as the primary protein source in swine diets in the United States. Mechanically extracted or expelled soybean meal (MSBM) typically has increased concentrations of fat and decreased concentrations of essential AA compared to SSBM, but MSBM has been demonstrated to have improved AA digestibility. This study aimed to estimate the NE value of MSBM relative to SSBM and to determine its effects on growth performance of late nursery pigs. A total of 297 pigs (241 × 600, DNA) were weaned (BW 11.2 lb) and placed into 60 pens (2 rooms of 30 pens) …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Pelleting swine feed and the use of crystalline amino acids and by-product ingredients can potentially create ideal conditions that further facilitate the Maillard browning reaction. The Maillard reaction combines an amino group of a free amino acid and a carbonyl group of a reducing sugar (RS), making the amino acid less available. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of pelleting swine diets containing free amino acids and reducing sugars at high temperatures on nursery pig growth performance. A total of 360 pigs (initially 25.0 lb; Line 200 × 400; DNA, Columbus, NE) were used in a …
