Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the digestibility of nutrients from cottonseed meal (CSM) and soybean meal (SBM) in different diet formulations for pigs, using two indigestible markers (acid-insoluble ash and chromic oxide) and a total fecal collection method.
- The results showed that the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nitrogen using acid-insoluble ash was highly correlated with total fecal collection, while the results using chromic oxide were less reliable but still correlated.
- The findings indicate that both the type of diet and the choice of indigestible marker significantly affect the measurements of nutrient digestibility in pigs.
This study was to determine the apparent ileal nitrogen (N) and amino acid digestibilities of cottonseed meal (CSM) and soybean meal (SBM) in simple carbohydrate-based and more complex wheat-based diets. Twenty five Large White × Landrace boars (40.9 kg) were randomly allocated to one of 5 dietary treatments: a wheat diet, 40% CSM in either a sugar:starch (1:1) or wheat-based diet, or 40% SBM in either a sugar:starch or wheat-based diet for 14 d.
