This book was released on 2009-06-08 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cautious assessment of standardised ileal digestibilities (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) as a measure to describe AA bioavailabilities is critical for evaluating the protein value of feed ingredients for piglets. Estimates of SID have been generated for most feed ingredients for grower-finisher pigs, whereas corresponding values for piglets hardly exist. Until now, SID values determined in grower-finisher pigs are used in diet formulation for piglets as well. However, there is some concern that these values may not be valid in piglets due to a limited digestive capacity for feed protein in piglets. A guideline for the standardisation of the experimental procedure in digestibility experiments had already been proposed for grower-finisher pigs. These guidelines firstly include threshold levels for CP and AA in the assay diets to obtain so-called plateau apparent ileal digestibility values, which are independent of dietary CP and AA levels, and secondly values for IAALB. For piglets, similar guidelines, including dietary threshold levels and values for IAALB, have currently been established. Therefore, the objective of the thesis was, based on these guidelines, to determine SID of CP and AA in 24 assay feed ingredients, including 11 products from soybean processing, 7 by-products from starch processing, 2 fish meals and 4 whey proteins. For this purpose, a total of 4 digestibility experiments with piglets fitted with simple T-cannulas at the distal ileum was conducted. For each experiment, 14 barrows were weaned at 18 days of age. Each experiment consisted of 3 periods for digesta collection. A total of 24 semisynthetic cornstarch-based diets with various inclusion levels of casein were formulated to which 1 of the 24 assay feed ingredients each was added. The daily feed allowance was restricted to 30 g/kg of individual body weight throughout all experimental periods. The SID values were determined by difference to SID values in casein. The results of the present studies show large variations in SID values among differently processed soybean products (p0.05). The SID values in extruded soybeans (SBe) were lower compared to high-protein soybean meal (SBMhp), soy protein concentrate (SPC) or partially hydrolysed soy protein isolate (SPIh) (p0.05). Aqueous alcohol or water extraction in SPC or SPIh improved SID values compared to SBMhp (p0.05). The SID values among the 4 batches of SPC were similar (p0.05) and consistently high. Moreover, the SID values were similar in SPC and SPIh (p0.05). The SID values of in alternatively processed soy proteins including enzymatically fermented SPA and microbially fermented SPB, were inconsistent. For the 3 SPA products, SID increased numerically from values similar to SBMhp to values similar to SPC with increasing duration of enzymatic treatment. For SPB SID values were low and similar to SBe, which may be attributed to protein denaturation during microbial fermentation. The results of present study show for most AA similar SID values for all by-products of starch processing including pea protein (PeaP), wheat gluten (WG), corn gluten (CG), and potato protein (PotP) compared to SPC (p0.05) except for SID of Lys in WG and CG, and SID of Trp in CG were considerably lower compared to other products (p0.05). The particular low SID of Lys and Trp in WG and CG might be simply a reflection of an experimental error, because SID values by means of the difference method rely on sufficient high AA contribution levels to the assay diets, which was not achieved for the aforementioned AA. The results of the present study show that SID values in fish meal (FM1) and extracted fish meal (FM2e) vary considerably (p

This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, the concept of standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) has been used in diet formulation for pigs. However, there is limited data on the nutritional composition and SID of CP and AA in home-grown European soybean and rapeseed products. For full-fat soybeans (FFSB), the presence of heat-labile trypsin inhibitors may cause problems in protein digestion of pigs. Therefore, the optimization of heat treatment for FFSB is a need to reduce trypsin inhibitor activity for improving SID of CP and AA. However, excessive heat treatment may have a negative effect on protein digestion. Furthermore, reducing dietary protein levels in combination with the supplementation of Bacillus spp. may reduce feed costs and improve pigs’ gut health. As a result of the present study, home-grown European soybean and rapeseed products can be considered as a suitable alternative to imported soybean products for pigs raised in organic and conventional farming systems. Wet heating at 100°C for 16 min, together with autoclaving at 110°C from 15 to 45 min reflects optimal heat treatment for FFSB resulting in greater SID of CP and AA with lower destruction of AA. Reducing the dietary CP level is an alternative strategy to improve SID of some AA, thereby decreasing feed cost and nitrogen excretion. The supplementation of Bacillus spp. promoted gene copy numbers of Roseburia spp., which may be beneficial due to ascribed health promoting properties of this butyrate producer.

This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wheat is the primarily cereal grain produced within the European Union. Due to its high starch content it is the dominating energy feed ingredient in diets for pigs. However, due to its high dietary inclusion level wheat can also supply considerable high amounts of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) to the animal. Wheat co-products of bioethanol production are a valuable source of CP and AA in animal nutrition. Therefore, the objectives of the present thesis were to study the nutritive value of eight recently introduced wheat genotypes and of one liquid wheat co-product of bioethanol production for growing pigs. For this purpose a comprehensive analysis of nutrients in the assay feedstuffs was conducted and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and AA in growing pigs was determined. There were significant differences in SID of CP and AA between the eight genotypes of wheat. However, digestibility values were lower when compared to literature data, leading to the assumption that data in actual feed tables might result in an overestimation of the protein value of wheat. The liquid wheat co-product is a valuable source of CP, AA and energy in diets for pigs. It is superior to dried bioethanol co-products as it is not exposed to excessive heat treatment during manufacturing resulting in greater digestibility values. In der Europäischen Union ist Weizen die am weitesten verbreitete Getreideart. Aufgrund seines hohen Stärkegehalts wird Weizen in Mastschweinerationen als Energiefuttermittel eingesetzt. Bei hohen Anteilen in der Gesamtration kann Weizen jedoch auch einen erheblichen Beitrag zur Deckung des Rohprotein- (XP) und Aminosäuren (AS)- Bedarfs des Tieres leisten. Nebenprodukte aus der Weizenverarbeitung bei der Bioethanolproduktion sind eine wertvolle Eiweißkomponente in der Tierernährung, dazu zählen Trocken- und Flüssigschlempen. Ziele dieser Arbeit waren die Bestimmung des Futterwerts von 8 aktuell verfügbaren Weizengenotypen sowie eines flüssigen Weizenschlempefutters für Mastschweine. Zu diesem Zweck wurde eine umfangreiche Nährstoffanalyse der Versuchsfuttermittel durchgeführt, sowie die standardisierte praecaecale Verdaulichkeit (pcVQ) von XP und AS bei Mastschweinen untersucht. Es gab signifikante Unterschiede der pcVQ von XP und AS zwischen den 8 Weizengenotypen. Allerdings waren die Verdaulichkeitswerte geringer als in der Literatur angeben, so dass Daten aus aktuellen Futterwerttabellen möglicherweise den Proteinwert von Weizen überschätzen. Das flüssige Weizenschlempefutter stellt eine wertvolle XP-, AS- und Energiequelle für Schweine dar. Es ist Trockenschlempen im Nährwert überlegen, da es keiner intensiven Hitzeeinwirkung ausgesetzt ist und somit höhere Verdaulichkeitswerte aufweist.

This book was released on 2014-11-12 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feed is the greatest single cost factor in pig production, and protein and energy accounts for the largest proportion of feed costs. Therefore, it is crucial that the protein and energy content of a diet is characterized in the best possible way. Over the past years, the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) has been introduced into diet formulation for pigs in several countries. Moreover, different energy systems are available for feed evaluation including digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME) and net energy (NE). For soybean meal (SBM), the most commonly used feed ingredient in pig diets, tabulated values for SID of AA in addition to DE, ME or NE contents have been determined in grower-finisher pigs rather than weaned piglets. Due to the lack of separate feed tables for piglets, tabulated values originating from experiments with grower-finisher pigs are being used for diet formulation in piglet feeding, although post-weaning feed intake (FI) is highly variable and often lower than 3 times the maintenance energy requirement of weaned piglets. Thus, it remains open, if values obtained with grower-finisher pigs can be used for piglets as well. Furthermore, in grower-finisher pigs it has been shown that dietary inclusion of SBM sources of different origins may affect SID of CP and AA. The influence of SBM origin on SID of CP and AA in piglets has not been investigated so far. Therefore, the first objective of the present thesis was to determine SID of CP and AA in a large variety of SBM sources sourced from different countries, whereas the second and third objective was to investigate the effect of FI level on apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and SID of CP and AA, as well as on apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of proximate nutrients and energy in weaned piglets. For this purpose, a digestibility experiment with a total of 36 (initial BW 5.6 kg) newly weaned pigs, surgically fitted with simple T-cannulas at the distal ileum, was conducted. The piglets were housed in metabolic crates, and were fed semi-synthetic diets based on cornstarch and 1 out of 18 different SBM batches originating either from Argentina (6 batches), Brazil (6 batches) or the United States (US; 6 batches). Diets were fed on three graded levels of FI corresponding to 30, 45 and 60 g per kg average body weight (BW) of piglets, equivalent to 50, 75 or 100 g/kg BW0.75 d or 1.9, 2.6 and 3.1 times the energy requirement for maintenance. The whole experiment was split in 3 consecutive parts with 12 piglets, each. Over the whole experiment, the piglets were randomly allocated to the different combinations of FI level and SBM, but balanced in order to achieve 3 identical experimental parts. Chapter 1 of the present thesis provides a brief introduction into the objective of this thesis, including background information on SBM production, composition, and a literature review about studies concerning the impact of SBM origin and the effect of FI level on nutrient digestibility in pigs. Chapter 2 includes information on the chemical composition and proximate constituents of the 18 SBM batches originating from Argentina, Brazil, or the US. The average content of CP was greater for Brazilian SBM (P ≤ 0.05) compared to the other 2 origins. Contents of most AA were greater (P ≤ 0.05) in Brazilian compared to Argentinean SBM batches. Amino acid contents in US SBM batches ranged between those from Argentina and Brazil. Average trypsin inhibitor activity was greatest (P ≤ 0.05) in Brazilian SBM. Mycotoxins were detected in 8 out of 18 SBM batches, but all mycotoxin levels were below their critical benchmarks. The contents of individual isoflavones varied considerably among SBM origins (P ≤ 0.05). The SID of Arg, Phe, Thr, Trp, Asp, Gly, and Ser were greater (P ≤ 0.05) for US compared to Argentinean SBM batches, and intermediate values were obtained for Brazilian SBM batches. The SID values were most variable within Argentinean SBM batches and most homogenous within US SBM batches, as indicated by a great and a small coefficient of variation, respectively. However, SID of CP and AA were not related to any of the analyzed chemical constituents. It was concluded that EU imports of SBM are generally of high quality. The obtained SID values contribute substantially to the expansion of databases on SID of CP and AA in SBM from the 3 major soybean-producing countries for piglets. However, SID values obtained with piglets were considerably lower compared with tabulated values originating from grower-finisher pigs. Thus, further studies are warranted to confirm that finally separate feed tables for ingredients used in diet formulation for piglets are required to account for these differences. In Chapter 3, the effect of 3 graded levels of FI on AID and SID of CP and AA in SBM based diets was determined in piglets. The AID and SID of most AA were quadratically affected by the FI level (P ≤ 0.05). Initially, both AID and SID of most AA increased up to 1.9 % units as the FI level was increased from 30 to 45 g/kg BW. Thereafter, these AID and SID values decreased by 2.6 and 2.7 % units, respectively, as the FI level was further increased from 45 to 60 g/kg BW. It was concluded that there is a significant effect of feed intake level, albeit of small magnitude, on AID and SID of CP and AA, which possibly has to be accounted for in feed tables, due to the high variability of voluntary FI post weaning. In Chapter 4, the effect of 3 graded FI levels on AID and ATTD of proximate nutrients and energy, as well as on estimates of dietary DE, ME and NE contents was investigated. Due to the graded level of FI, and thereby the graded intake of nutrients, ileal endogenous nutrient losses and/or total tract endogenous nutrient losses could be estimated by linear regression analysis, and true digestibility values as well as urinary endogenous N losses could be calculated. The AID of DM, N and energy as well as ATTD of neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber and ether extract (EE) in the assay diets was not affected (P > 0.05) by FI level. However, there was a small decrease in ATTD of DM, N, OM, ash and energy, as well as in DE, ME and NE content in the assay diets (P

This book was released on 2009-12-09 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since there is a general ban on meat and bone meal and its by-products in diets for livestock in the EU, it is crucial to focus on alternative protein feed ingredients to be used in pig nutrition. Beside soybean meal as a commonly used plant protein supplement, grain legumes may also be used as alternative protein sources in diets for pigs. Current protein evaluation system for feed ingredients for pigs are based on the concept of standardised ileal digestibilities (SID) of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA), but there is a scarcity of information on SID of CP and AA in grain legumes grown in Central Europe. Therefore, the objective of the thesis was to determine the chemical composition and the SID of CP and AA in seed-grade cultivars of faba beans (Vicia faba), peas (Pisum sativum) and lupins (Lupinus spp.) in growing pigs using the difference method. Furthermore, to obtain SID of CP and AA, the basal ileal endogenous CP and AA losses in growing pigs were estimated by means of regression analysis from apparent ileal digestible and total dietary contents of CP and AA. A further aim of the thesis was directed to the validation of an in vitro procedure for estimates of SID of CP and AA in the same grain legumes by means of a two-step enzymatic method with subsequent pepsin and pancreatin incubations. The in vitro predicted SID values were compared with their corresponding in vivo SID values. The chemical composition and SID values of CP and AA measured in faba bean, pea and lupin cultivars generally were in good agreement with tabulated values. The average SID of CP and most AA in lupin cultivars (CP, 87%) were higher than in pea (CP, 79%) or faba bean cultivars (CP, 76%) Comparably low SID values in some faba bean cultivars can be partly explained by their contents of condensed tannins. In contrast to SID values in faba bean cultivars, there were only small variations in SID values between individual cultivars of peas or lupins. Results of the in vitro experiment revealed that predicted SID of CP and AA do not provide direct estimates of SID values in grain legumes, because the in vitro predicted SID values were generally higher than in vivo SID values. The use of multiple linear regression analysis with grain legume species as a covariate resulted in strong linear relationships. Further investigations are warranted to study if these principles apply to other feed ingredients as well. Moreover, the use of in vitro predicted SID values in practical diet formulations for pigs needs to be further validated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1944, the National Research Council has published 10 editions of the Nutrient Requirements of Swine. This reference has guided nutritionists and other professionals in academia and the swine and feed industries in developing and implementing nutritional and feeding programs for swine. The swine industry has undergone considerable changes since the tenth edition was published in 1998 and some of the requirements and recommendations set forth at that time are no longer relevant or appropriate. The eleventh revised edition of the Nutrient Requirements of Swine builds on the previous editions published by the National Research Council. A great deal of new research has been published during the last 15 years and there is a large amount of new information for many nutrients. In addition to a thorough and current evaluation of the literature on the energy and nutrient requirements of swine in all stages of life, this volume includes information about feed ingredients from the biofuels industry and other new ingredients, requirements for digestible phosphorus and concentrations of it in feed ingredients, a review of the effects of feed additives and feed processing, and strategies to increase nutrient retention and thus reduce fecal and urinary excretions that could contribute to environmental pollution. The tables of feed ingredient composition are significantly updated. Nutrient Requirements of Swine represents a comprehensive review of the most recent information available on swine nutrition and ingredient composition that will allow efficient, profitable, and environmentally conscious swine production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, pork and poultry production has become an extremely competitive industry. There is now more pork consumed in the world than any other meat, yet there is still intense competition for the industry to attract and retain consumers. Consumers continue to demand safe, high quality pork and poultry products at competitive prices compared to other high protein food alternatives. To ensure sustainability of both the pig and poultry industries, producers must endeavour to seek new technologies to improve production efficiency whilst lowering the cost of production and producing a quality product. This edited collection of articles is taken from a series of seminars that brought together some of the world’s leading authorities in the field of pig and poultry nutrition and production. The fundamental theme is to re-examine the current trends in productivity within the pig and poultry industries, and to identify nutritional and managerial means to improve competitiveness as well as the quality of the end product. The importance of animal health together with novel strategies for disease control and ways to minimise the environmental impact of pig and poultry production are covered. ‘Gaining the edge in pork and poultry production’ is aimed at nutritionists and animal producers as well as students and researchers studying animal and applied biological sciences.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A total of 8 experiments and a meta-analysis were performed with the overarching goal to improve amino acid and energy utilization in swine diets. The first experiment used a total of 255 nursery pigs to evaluate the optimum dietary standardized ileal digestible (SID) tryptophan to lysine (Trp:Lys) ratio. Four experiments also were conducted using 6,668 finishing pigs to determine the effects of SID Trp:Lys ratio in diets containing dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on growth performance and carcass characteristics. A subsequent experiment evaluated the interaction between Trp and large neutral amino acids (Trp:LNAA) on growth performance of early and late-finishing pigs. Lastly, data from 41 trials and 2 validation trials were used to develop a regression equations to predict ADG or gain to feed (G:F) as influenced by BW and net energy (NE) content in growing-finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, the growth performance and economics indicated the optimum SID Trp concentration for 6-to 10-kg nursery pigs at 20.3% of Lys. In Exp. 2, 3, and 4, there were no differences in growth performance due to SID Trp:Lys ratio; however, increasing the SID Trp:Lys ratio suggested an opportunity to improve carcass yield and lean in pigs fed high levels of DDGS. Experiment 5 indicated an optimum SID Trp:Lys ratio of 20% for 71- to 127-kg pigs fed high level of DDGS. In Exp. 6, growth performance was unaffected by dietary treatment suggesting that 16.5% SID Trp:Lys was adequate to prevent a negative impact on growth when SID Trp:LNAA was as low as 3.0% in finishing period. Overall, the experiments suggested a higher optimum SID Trp:Lys ratio than is currently standard practice. The regression analysis from the meta-analysis showed that increasing dietary NE improved ADG and G:F. However, the magnitude of improvement will be minimized if the SID Lys concentration is limiting. The validation experiments indicated that the prediction equations provided a good estimation of growth rate and feed efficiency of growing-finishing pigs fed different levels of dietary NE except for pigs fed the diet with DDGS. These predictions of growth performance can then be used to model economic value of different dietary energy strategies.
