Fecal digestible energy (DE) and ileal digestible crude protein (CP) and amino acid (AA) contents in sorghum, pear millet, high-oil corn, high-oil-high-protein corn, regular corn I and II were determined in growing pigs fitted with ileal “T ”cannulas. The cereal grain samples were grown in Canada and supplemented with vitamins and minerals to produce six experimental diets. Six pigs, with an average initial body weight of 17 kg, were fed the diets during six subsequent experimental periods according to a Latin square design. Pigs were fed twice daily at 2.6 times maintenance energy requirements. After a 7-d adjustment period, feces were collected for 3 d, followed by a 48-h collection of ileal digesta. Apparent and standardized ileal AA digestibilities were calculated. The high-oil corn and high-oil-high-protein corn had the highest (P < 0.05) DE content [4029, 4048 kcal kg-1 dry matter (DM), respectively]. The sorghum had a higher (P < 0.05) DE content (3941 kcal kg-1 DM) than pear millet (3603 kcal kg-1 DM) and regular corn I (3710 kcal kg-1 DM basis) and similar DE content to regular corn II (3945 kcal kg-1 DM). Contents of standardized ileal digestible CP and AA varied between cereal grains were generally highest (P < 0.05) for PM (CP: 101.6 g kg-1 DM; lysine, methionine plus cysteine, threonine: 3.4, 4.8 and 4.3 g kg-1 DM, respectively), HOPC (CP: 100.9 g kg-1 DM; lysine, methionine plus cysteine, threonine: 3.1, 5.4 and 4.3 g kg-1 DM, respectively) and similar for the other cereal grains (CP: 94.1–98.4 g kg-1 DM; lysine, methionine plus cysteine, threonine: 2.6–3.0, 3.4–4.3 and 3.3–4.0 g kg-1 DM, respectively). Differences in feeding values of these cereal grains should be considered when evaluating their potential inclusion in pig diets. Key words: Grains, pigs, energy, amino acids, digestibility

The digestible energy (DE), ileal digestible crude protein (CP) and amino acid (AA) contents in two corn cultivars commonly grown in Manitoba were determined using six ileal cannulated barrows (average initial BW of 21.5 ± 0.9 kg). Three samples of each cultivar, each obtained from two locations, were evaluated in six dietary treatments in a 2 × 3 factorial arrangement. Diets contained 97% corn and 0.3% chromic oxide as an indigestible marker, and were assigned to pigs in a 6 × 6 Latin square design. Ileal digesta and fecal samples were collected for determining energy and nutrient digestibilities. Location affected (P ≤ 0.05) ileal digestible indispensable AA, except for lysine and threonine. Cultivar affected (P ≤ 0.05) ileal digestible CP and indispensable AA, except for lysine, phenylalanine and valine. There was an interaction effect (P < 0.05) of location and cultivar on ileal digestible indispensable AA, except for lysine and histidine. Digestible energy, CP and AA averaged 3662 kcal kg-1, 5.95% and 0.40%, respectively, in the dry matter. The content of digestible CP and AA in corn may vary with location and cultivar and this variation should be considered when formulating livestock feeds.

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) concentrations in high-fiber ingredients fed to growing pigs. Twelve barrows with an initial body weight of 57.5 kg (SD = 5.7) were individually housed in metabolism crates. A replicated 6 × 3 incomplete Latin square design with 12 animals, 6 experimental diets and 3 periods was employed. A basal diet was composed of 75.0% corn and 22.7% soybean meal (SBM) as the sole energy sources. Four experimental diets were prepared by replacing 40% of corn and SBM with soybean hulls (SH), corn gluten feed (CGF), wheat bran (WB), or rice bran (RB). An additional diet was prepared by replacing 10% of corn and SBM with cashew nut hulls (CNH). Each period consisted of a 4-d adaptation period and a 4-d collection period, and the marker-to-marker procedure was used for total collection of feces and urine. The DE and ME values in RB (3,969 and 3,936 kcal/kg DM) were greater (P &lt; 0.05) than those in CGF (2,654 and 2,520 kcal/kg DM) and SH (2,492 and 2,541 kcal/kg DM) and the energy values in WB (3,162 and 3,118 kcal/kg DM) were not different from those in RB, CGF, or SH. The DE and ME values in CNH (350 and 572 kcal/kg DM) were less (P &lt; 0.05) than those in all other test ingredients. In conclusion, energy concentrations in RB were greatest among the high-fiber test ingredients, whereas CNH had the lowest values.

Abstract Two experiments were conducted to determine standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA; Exp. 1) and net energy (Exp. 2) in two black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) samples [full fat (FF; 42.5% crude protein (CP), as-fed) and defatted (DF; 40.8% CP; as-fed)] for growing pigs. Two cornstarch-based diets were formulated with FF and DF BSFLM as the sole sources of AA. A nitrogen-free diet was also used, and the corn starch:sucrose:oil ratio was kept constant among diets to calculate digestible energy (DE) by difference method. In each experiment, pigs were fed 2.8 × estimated maintenance energy requirement. In Exp. 1, eight ileal-cannulated barrows (25.1 ± 0.41 kg initial body weight) were used in a replicated 2 × 2 Latin square design (n = 8). In each period, pigs were adapted to diets for 5 d followed by 2 d of continuous ileal digesta collection for 8 h. The SID of AA were calculated using basal endogenous losses for pigs fed a nitrogen-free diet. In Exp. 2, eight barrows [23.4 ± 0.54 kg initial body weight (BW)] were used in a partially replicated Latin square design (n = 8). In each period, pigs were adapted to diets for 7 d, followed by 5 d of total urine collection and fecal grab sampling. The SID of CP (80.6 ± 1.1%) and Lys (88.0 ± 1.4%) were not different between FF and DF BSFLM. The SID of Arg, Val, Ala, and Pro tended to be less, and the SID of Met tended to be greater for the FF versus the DF BSFLM (P = 0.034, 0.090, 0.053, 0.065, 0.074, respectively). Digestible energy (4,927 vs. 3,941 ± 75 kcal/kg), metabolizable energy (4,569 vs. 3,396 ± 102 kcal/kg), and predicted net energy (3,477 vs. 2,640 ± 30 kcal/kg, using equations from Noblet; 3,479 vs. 2,287 ± 28 kcal/kg, using equations from Blok, respectively) were greater for the FF versus the DF BSFLM (P &lt; 0.05). The apparent total tract digestibility of neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber were greater for the FF versus the DF BSFLM (P ≤ 0.05). Both FF and DF BSFLM had high SID for most AA; however, FF BSFLM was a better source of net energy for growing pigs. Therefore, both FF and DF BSFLM could be used as protein alternatives in growing pig diets.

AbstractThis experiment investigated the effects of feeding graded levels of a soya-bean protein product (HP300, Hamlet Protein A/S Company, Denmark) on endogenous ileal lysine loss, apparent ileal amino acid digestibility, standardized true ileal amino acid digestibility determined using the protein-free (PF) method, and real ileal amino acid digestibility determined using the homoarginine (HA) method. The soya-bean protein product was obtained by purifying and defattening soya bean via a proprietary microbial process that decreased the level of trypsin inhibitors and other anti-nutritional factors in soya bean. Six barrows, with an initial body weight of 37·4 ± 1·3 kg, were surgically fitted with simple T-cannulae at the distal ileum and offered six maize-starch-based diets according to a 6 × 6 Latin-square design. The six diets were formulated to provide 0, 50, 100, 150, 200, or 250 g crude protein (CP) per kg by dietary inclusion of 0, 90, 182, 274, 367 or 460 g/kg of soya-bean protein. Five kg of soya-bean protein product was guanidinated in order to estimate endogenous amino acid flow and real ileal amino acid digestibility. Chromium III oxide (5 g/kg) was included in the non-guanidinated diets while dysprosium chloride (0·1 g/kg) was included in the guanidinated diets as an indigestible marker. The experimental periods lasted 8 days. On day 6 of each period, ileal digesta was collected for 24 h to determine apparent and standardized true ileal amino acid digestibility of the non-guanidinated diets. At 08:00 h on day 8, the pigs were given a single meal of the diets containing guanidinated protein and their ileal digesta was collected for 24 h in order to determine the total HA flow and the real ileal digestibility of lysine. Endogenous ileal lysine flow appeared to follow a sigmoid curve starting at about 370 mg/kg dry matter (DM) intake for pigs given the PF diet and continuing asymptotically to about 750 mg/kg DM intake when the inclusion level of the soya-bean protein product was increased to 182 g/kg (100 g/kg of CP). The endogenous ileal lysine flow for pigs given the PF diet was similar (P > 0·05) to that of pigs given 90 g/kg soya-bean protein (50 g/kg of CP) and it increased sharply (P < 0·05) as the level of soya-bean protein increased from 90 to 182 g/kg (50 to 100 g/kg of CP). Thereafter, it was relatively constant (P > 0·05). With an increase in soya-bean protein, there was a quadratic increase (P < 0·01) in the apparent ileal digestibilities for all amino acids except valine and phenylalanine. Standardized true ileal amino acid digestibility decreased (P < 0·05) with an increase in soya-bean protein level. However, real ileal amino acid digestibilities were not influenced (P > 0·05) by soya-bean protein in the diet at levels between 90 and 367 g/kg (50 and 200 g/kg of CP). In conclusion, endogenous ileal lysine flow was not constant and was significantly affected by soya-bean protein level. The results of this study suggest that standardized true ileal amino acid digestibility should be measured between 100 and 200 g/kg of CP (182 and 367 g/kg soya-bean protein) while real ileal amino acid digestibility is unaffected by protein levels between 50 and 200 g/kg of CP (90 and 367 g/kg soya-bean protein).

A study was carried out to determine the influence of partial mechanical tail-end dehulling on apparent ileal amino acid (AA) digestibilities and digestible energy content in canola meal (CM) samples for growing pigs. Twenty Landrace × Yorkshire barrows, with an initial body weight of 35 kg, were fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum. Digestibilities were determined in 12 experimental diets with observations from five pigs per diet. Five batches of regular CM were obtained from five different crushing plants in Western Canada. A fraction of these batches was partially dehulled. The regular and partially dehulled CM samples were included at 20% in a barley-based diet. One pooled high-fiber CM sample and a straight barley diet were evaluated as well. Partial dehulling increased (P < 0.05) the digestible energy (DE) content from 12.2 to 13.3 MJ kg DM−1, respectively, and the level of crude protein (CP) from 40.6 to 43.8% in regular and partially dehulled CM samples, respectively. The digestibility of threonine was increased (P < 0.05) by partial dehulling, from 72.1 to 75.5%; the digestibilities of CP, lysine, methionine and cysteine were not affected (P > 0.05). Only the digestibilities of methionine and threonine were lower (P < 0.05) in the high-fiber CM sample than in the regular and partially dehulled samples. Digestible energy content, which ranged from 10.8 to 14.2 MJ kg DM−1, differed (P < 0.05) between crushing plants for both regular and partially dehulled CM samples. The digestibility of lysine did not differ (P > 0.05) between processing plants for the regular CM samples. The digestibility of lysine did not differ (P > 0.05) between processing plants for the regular CM samples. In contrast, there were differences (P < 0.05) in lysine digestibility, ranging from 74.8 to 83.8%, and methionine, ranging from 80.4 to 86.9%, between crushing plants for partially dehulled samples. There were low negative relationships between apparent ileal AA digestibilities and NDF, ADF and CF levels (r < 0.39) and between DE content and NDF, ADF and CF levels (r < 0.36) in the CM samples. In conclusion, the reduction in fiber content by mechanical tail-end dehulling increased the supply of DE and the level of CP, but did not influence apparent ileal CP or AA digestibilities, except for threonine which was slightly increased.

Almeida, F. N., Htoo, J. K., Thomson, J. and Stein, H. H. 2013. Amino acid digestibility in camelina products fed to growing pigs. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 93: 335–343. Camelina seed production has increased in North America because of demand for camelina oil for biofuel production. Camelina expellers (CE) is the co-product that remains after oil has been expelled, and CE usually contains approximately 35% crude protein (CP), 14% ether extract, 10% crude fiber, and 5% ash making it an attractive feedstuff for livestock. An experiment was conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and amino acids (AA) in two sources of camelina seeds [CS-1 and CS-2; average: 39% acid hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE), 28% CP, 27% neutral detergent fiber (NDF), 12% acid detergent fiber (ADF), 4% ash] and in three sources of CE (CE-1, CE-2, and CE-3; average: 35% CP, 24% NDF, 15% AEE, 14% ADF, 6% ash) and to compare the SID of CP and AA in camelina products with the SID of CP and AA in solvent-extracted canola meal fed to pigs. Seven growing pigs (initial BW 43.5 kg) were randomly allotted to a 7×7 Latin square design with seven diets fed to individually housed pigs over seven periods. Six of the diets contained CS, CE, or canola meal as the sole source of CP and AA and a N-free diet was used to determine basal endogenous losses of CP and AA. The SID of CP in CS-1 and CE-2 was less (P<0.01) than the SID of CP in canola meal, but the SID of CP in CS-2, CE-1, and CE-3 was not different from the SID of CP in canola meal. The SID of Lys in CS-1 and CS-2 was less (P<0.01) than in canola meal, but the SID of Lys was not different among CE-1, CE-2, CE-3, and canola meal. Results from this experiment indicate that the SID of AA in CE is mostly comparable with that of canola meal, but the digestibility of CP and AA in the two camelina seeds was somewhat less than in CE and canola meal. Camelina expellers may, therefore, be included in diets fed to pigs.

Abstract Objectives The objectives of this research were to use the growing pig as a model to determine the amino acid (AA) digestibility and protein quality by the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS) for brown rice concentrate (BRPC), pea protein concentrate (PPC), two rapeseed protein isolates (RSP-1 and RSP-2), soy protein isolate (SPI), and whey protein isolate (WPI). Methods Seven ileal cannulated barrows (36.5 ± 1.6 kg) were randomly allotted to a 7 × 7 Latin square design with 7 diets and seven 7-d periods, with ileal digesta collected on d 6 and 7. Each protein ingredient was included in a diet as the only AA containing source, and a nitrogen-free diet was used to measure basal endogenous losses of AA. The DIAAS were calculated for children from 6 months to 3 years and for persons &gt; 3 years according to the Food and Agriculture Organization. Data were analyzed using the PROC MIXED of SAS in a completely randomized design with the pig as the experimental unit. Results The standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of Arg, His, Ile, Leu, and Phe was greater (P &lt; 0.05) for WPI compared with the other proteins, and the SID of Thr and Trp did not differ among WPI, SPI, and RSP-2. The SID of all indispensable AA (IAA), expect Arg and Lys, was greater (P &lt; 0.05) for RSP-2 than for PPC and BRPC, and PPC and BRPC had a greater (P &lt; 0.05) SID of most IAA, expect His, Lys, and Met, than RSP-1. For DIAAS, RSP-2 had a DIAAS greater than 100 for children 6 months to 3 years, whereas, for persons &gt; 3 years, RSP-2 and WPI had DIAAS greater than 100, i.e., 110 and 117, respectively. For both reference patterns, the DIAAS for RSP-2 and WPI was greater (P &lt; 0.05) than for SPI, and the DIAAS for RSP-1 was less (P &lt; 0.05) than the DIAAS for SPI but greater (P &lt; 0.05) than for PPC, and PPC had a DIAAS greater (P &lt; 0.05) than BRPC. Conclusions Results of this research illustrate that WPI is an excellent dairy protein for persons &gt;3 years, and RSP-2 is an excellent quality plant protein for children from 6 months to 3 years and persons &gt;3 years. In contrast, protein concentrates from cereal grains and some plant proteins, i.e., BRPC and PPC, respectively, are lower quality proteins, but soy based plant protein isolates, i.e., SPI, may be considered good quality proteins for children from 6 months to 3 years and persons &gt;3 years.

Digestible Amino Acids

To determine values for the digestible indispensable amino acid score (DIAAS), it is recommended that ileal amino acid (AA) digestibility values obtained in growing pigs are used to characterise protein quality in different foods. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to determine the standardised ileal digestibility (SID) of AA in eight cereal grains (yellow dent maize, Nutridense maize, dehulled barley, dehulled oats, polished white rice, rye, sorghum and wheat) fed to pigs, where SID values in pigs can be used to calculate approximate DIAAS values in humans. In the present experiment, twenty-four barrows with a T-cannula inserted in the distal ileum were allotted to eight diets and fed for three periods to give a total of nine replicate pigs per diet. Each period lasted 14 d, and ileal digesta samples were collected on days 13 and 14. Among the SID values obtained for all cereal grains, values for total indispensable AA were greatest (P< 0·05) in rice and lowest (P< 0·05) in rye and sorghum. The concentrations of SID indispensable AA in rice were less (P< 0·05) than in dehulled oats, but greater (P< 0·05) than in the other cereal grains, and the concentrations of SID indispensable AA in Nutridense maize were greater (P< 0·05) than in yellow dent maize and sorghum, but less (P< 0·05) than in the other cereal grains, except rye. In conclusion, results indicate that to meet dietary requirements for AA in humans, diets based on yellow dent maize or sorghum require more AA supplementation than diets based on other cereal grains.
