Abstract
Nine adult Large White male turkeys were fed dehulled soybean meal (DSBM) as the sole dietary component to determine the apparent digestibilities of its dry matter and amino acids. Apparent digestibility was determined by the total excreta collection method. Average apparent dry matter digestibility of DSBM was 53.3%.Amino acid contents of the DSBM and excreta for all except the sulfur amino acids were determined after acid hydrolysis. The sulfur amino acid levels were determined after performic acid oxidation and acid hydrolysis. Apparent amino acid digestibility averaged 87%. Glycine and arginine were the least and most efficiently digested amino acids with values of 80% and 93%, respectively.
