Mid-infrared spectroscopy estimates nutrient digestibility in pigs to improve in vitro digestion models
DownloadSpring 2014
Co-products are increasingly used as alternative feedstuffs for pigs, but their nutritional quality varies largely. Rapid evaluation of energy digestibility of co-products is important for the feed industry and pork production. In vitro digestion (IVD) models have been used to evaluate...

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...
