Wheat Co-products Vary in Protein Digestibility When Fed to Livestock
2017-06-21 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - Research from the University of Illinois is helping to determine the quality of protein in wheat middlings and red dog, two co-products of the wheat milling process that can be included in diets fed to pigs and other livestock.
Added Fat in Pig Diets May Affect Digestibility of Nutrients
2016-12-02 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - Added fat increases the energy content of swine diets, but it may also affect the digestibility of nutrients. Dr Hans H. Stein, professor of animal sciences at Illinois, and a team of researchers have studied the effects of fat sources with different concentrations of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on mineral digestibility.

U of I, Chinese researchers team up to study energy digestibility in wheat bran fed to pigs
2016-08-30 20:26:00| National Hog Farmer
Source: University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences As producers turn to implementing co-products into swine diets there is a need to determine the energy contribution from fiber-rich ingredients. But the effect of dietary fiber on heat production and net energy of diets is unclear. read more
