Abstract

Summary A total of 350 weanling pigs (initially 15.7 lb) were used to evaluate the effects of soybean meal source and level on growth performance of early weaned pigs. Dietary treatments included a control diet containing no soybean meal, or diets containing 20% or 40% of either solvent extracted soybean meal (SBM) or extruded-expelled soybean meal (EESOY). The SBM and EESOY were analyzed for trypsin inhibitor (0.7 mg TI/g and 1.8 mg TI/g, respectively) to ensure quality, and actual crude protein values (46.9% and 48.3% as-fed, respectively) were used in diet formulation. From d 0 to 14, increasing EESOY decreased ADG and ADFI (linear, P 0.05) were found between soybean meal sources throughout the trial. The results of this study suggest extrudedexpelled soybean meal processed properly and fed in diets immediately after weaning did not improve growth performance of nursery pigs relative to conventional solvent extracted soybean meal. When EESOY or SBM was included at 40% in diets fed immediately after weaning, growth performance of weanling pigs was poorer than if fed at lower levels (20%). Feeding properly processed EESOY resulted in similar growth performance compared to feeding SBM.

Highlights

The amount of soybean meal in diets fed immediately after weaning is usually limited because of delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions of young pigs to high levels of glycinin and beta conglycinin found in soybean meal

Summary

Introduction

The amount of soybean meal in diets fed immediately after weaning is usually limited because of delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions of young pigs to high levels of glycinin and beta conglycinin found in soybean meal. Processing methods of soybean meal, such as extruding and expelling, may allow for greater inclusions of soy proteins in the diet without negatively affecting pig performance. Previous research at Kansas State University has shown that moist extrusion of soybean meal can result in growth performance comparable to and better than that achieved by feeding highly refined soy products to the earlyweaned pig. The dry extrusion-expelling technique (Insta-Pro Express Extruder/Press System, Des Moines, Iowa) results in a soybean meal with higher fat (oil) content than solvent extracted processed soybean meal. The high temperature of the extrusion technology aids in the inactivation of antinutritional factors, such as conglycinin and βconglycinin, which are potentially antigenic with the intestinal lumen
