Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to evaluate the digestibility of crude protein and amino acids in 10 different rapeseed cake samples fed to pigs, while also creating predictive models based on their chemical composition.
  • - Twenty-two pigs were used in a structured feeding trial that included diets with rapeseed cake and a marker for digestibility measurement, revealing significant variability in fat, fiber, and glucosinolates among samples.
  • - Findings showed varying digestibility rates for crude protein and specific amino acids, identifying factors like neutral detergent fiber and total glucosinolates as important predictors for digestibility outcomes.

Corn (C), wheat (W), and paddy rice (PR) are important energy sources and are commonly used in feed production for swine. This study mainly focuses on the variation and regularities of microbiota and metabolites in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of pigs in response to C, W, and PR. A total of 18 pigs were allotted into three dietary groups with six replicated pigs and received diets containing C, W, or PR as the sole energy source, respectively.
