Researchers Determine Digestibility of Blood Products as Feed in Weanling Pigs
2013-09-06 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - Because weanling pigs do not tolerate great quantities of soybean meal in the diet, alternative sources of protein must be used. Blood products, such as blood meal and plasma protein, are common ingredients in weanling pig diets and are considered high-quality sources of amino acids.

Fat Digestibility in Pigs Looks at Oils in Soybeans, Corn Co-products
2013-07-25 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - Pork producers need accurate information on the energy value of fat in feed ingredients to ensure that diets are formulated economically and in a way that maximizes pork fat quality. Researchers at the University of Illinois have determined the true ileal and total tract digestibility of fat in four corn co-products, as well as in full fat soybeans and corn oil.
New Phytase Effective in Improving Phosphorus, Calcium Digestibility in Pigs
2013-06-06 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - Phosphorus is a vital nutrient for pig growth, but the majority of the phosphorus in common plant-based feedstuffs is bound to phytate and therefore is unavailable to pigs. Diets fed to pigs can be supplemented with microbial phytase to improve phosphorus digestibility, according to Hans S. Stein, a University of Illinois professor in animal sciences.
