Effects of Rumen-Protected Glutamate Supplementation during the Periparturient Period on Digestibility, Inflammation, Metabolic Responses and Performance in Dairy Cows
DownloadSpring 2022
Dairy cows often experience negative energy balance, fat mobilization and inflammation after calving, which increases health problems. Glutamate (Glu) is a primary energy source for the small intestine and a glucogenic amino acid in the liver, and feeding Glu enhances gastrointestinal growth,...

Nutritional Value of Faba Bean Cultivars as Dietary Source of Energy and Protein for Weaned and Growing Pigs
DownloadFall 2022
Novel faba bean cultivars vary in nutrient content, digestibility and antinutritional factors that must be characterized to prioritize which faba bean cultivars to grow for pigs feeding. In chapter 2, five diets included (20%, phase 1; 30%, phase 2) 3 different, zero-tannin and high...

Nutritional value of heat-processed field pea and lentil grains as alternative feedstuffs for pigs
DownloadFall 2020
Field pea and lentil grains are alternative starch and protein sources for swine; however, pulse grains have a lower energy digestibility in pigs than conventional feedstuffs, contain trypsin inhibitors that may reduce protein digestion, and may reduce feed efficiency (G:F). Processing using...
