In today’s swine industry, nutrition is a powerful way to provide a solid foundation for growing pigs that may face health challenges. The herd nutritionist formulates diets that ensure that the nutrient requirements of individual...
U.S. Soy and the United Soybean Board conducted a recent consumer survey to learn what information about meat production methods, such as where and how an animal is raised and what the animal is fed,...
Soybean meal (SBM) is produced using a solvent extraction process to remove the soybean oil; however, several other soybean products can be created by further processing of SBM or soybean. This research study compares nine...
This study evaluated the effects of dietary soy isoflavones, in order to demonstrate that the specific immunomodulatory effects observed with soy isoflavone supplementation in the PI’s most recent study will confer growth performance and immunological...
Previous in-house evaluations by The Hanor Company indicated that the addition of higher than typical levels of phytase to nursery pig diets enable higher levels of soybean meal (SBM) usage while maintaining overall performance. By...
Building upon recent findings that feeding increased concentrations of dietary soybean meal confers benefits to young pigs infected with porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome (PRRS) virus, this proposed project sought to: Quantify variability in soy...
The value-added soybean meals for swine experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of high protein soybean meal (SBM-HP), low oligosaccharide soybean meal (SBM-LO), and conventional soybean meal (SBM) fed to weanling pigs. The...
This project conducted a nursery experiment to measure pig performance. The dietary treatments consisted of traditional vs. low oligosaccharide SBM, as well as traditional vs. low oligosaccharide soybean white flakes
Energy is the most expensive component in livestock diets, so a SBM with more available energy may represent an economical advantage for the swine industry. This project estimated both digestible and metabolizable energy content of...
