Abstract
Effects of Feeding Increasing Levels of HP 300 on Nursery Pig Performance
Highlights
Soybean meal is the most commonly used protein source fed to swine in the United States.[5]
Increasing HP 300 up to 15 to 20% of the diet for the first 22 d post-weaning at the expense of soybean meal and fish meal resulted in a decrease in final BW at the end of the nursery period
Performance did not differ between pigs fed the fish meal control diet and pigs fed the diet with HP 300 replacing fish meal
Summary
Soybean meal is the most commonly used protein source fed to swine in the United States.[5] Its use is largely influenced by it being one of the most readily available and economical protein sources that contains an excellent balance of AA.[6] soybean meal contains a number of anti-nutritional factors that, when fed in high amounts, produce what is known as soybean meal transient hypersensitivity. This form of transient hypersensitivity results in abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) that include decreased villous height and hypertrophy of intestinal crypts.[7] As a result, a decrease in growth performance is usually observed when high levels of soybean meal are fed to weanling pigs. Specialty animal protein sources have been commonly added as highly digestible AA sources in starter diets as a substitute for soybean meal
