An experiment was conducted to determine the apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids and the digestible energy (DE) content of two samples of naked oats (Avena sativa cv Bandicoot) and to compare these parameters in wheat (Triticum aestivum cv Machete) and dehulled oats (groats; Avena sativa cv Echidna). Four Large White male pigs were fitted with simple T-piece ileal cannulae and allocated to experimental diets in a 4×4 Latin square design. Amino acid digestibility coefficients were determined after continuous eight hour collections of digesta over two consecutive days using acid-insoluble ash as an indigestible marker. Digestible energy was determined using grab samples of faeces. No significant difference between the four test cereals was found in the digestibility of all amino acids, except for proline and lysine. The apparent ileal digestibility of lysine in wheat (0·87) and two samples of naked oats (0·89 and 0·82, respectively) was lower (P<0·05) than dehulled oats (0·91). The mean DE value of the naked oats samples was 16·96 MJ kg−1 (air-dry basis). The results suggest that Bandicoot naked oats and dehulled oats are superior amino acid and DE sources to wheat and have potential for use in weaner and grower pig diets. © 1998 SCI. 相似文献

The apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids in eight feed ingredients were determined using broilers and layers. The ingredients included three cereals (wheat, sorghum and maize), one cereal by‐product (wheat middlings), three oilseed meals (canola, cottonseed and soybean meals) and one animal protein meal (meat and bone meal). Dietary protein in the assay diets was supplied solely by the test ingredient. All diets contained 20 g kg?1 acid‐insoluble ash as an indigestible marker, and each diet was offered ad libitum in mash form to five replicate pens of 42‐day‐old broilers and 60‐week‐old layers. The digestibility coefficients of most amino acids for wheat and sorghum were similar (P > 0.05) in broilers and layers. The digestibility of most amino acids for maize was higher (P < 0.05) in broilers compared to those in layers. The digestibility of individual amino acid for wheat middlings was higher (P < 0.05) in layers than in broilers. In general, the digestibility of amino acids for cottonseed meal, soybean meal, and meat and bone meal were similar (P > 0.05) between broilers and layers. The influence of class of bird on digestibility in canola meal was variable. The digestibility of threonine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid and alanine were higher (P < 0.05), and those of methionine, histidine and lysine were lower (P < 0.05) in broilers compared to layers. These results suggest that the practice of using amino acid digestibility values generated with broilers for layers may not be appropriate for all feed ingredients.

The apparent ileal digestibility coefficients of amino acids in five high‐protein ingredients (casein, isolated soyprotein, maize gluten meal, spray‐dried bovine plasma (SBP) and spray‐dried porcine plasma (SPP)) and soybean meal were determined using 3‐week‐old broiler chickens. The amino acids in casein were highly digestible. Isolated soyprotein was also well digested by the birds, but the digestibility coefficients of all amino acids in isolated soyprotein were lower (P < 0.05) than those in casein. The amino acid digestibility coefficients in isolated soyprotein were greater (P < 0.05) than those in soybean meal, which may be reflective of reduced concentrations of anti‐nutritive factors, particularly indigestible oligosaccharides. The digestibilities of amino acids in maize gluten meal were higher (P < 0.05) than those in soybean meal, except for the digestibilities of arginine, histidine, threonine and aspartic acid, which were similar (P > 0.05) between the two protein sources. The ileal digestibilities of all indispensable amino acids in SBP and SPP were lower (P < 0.05) than those in casein and isolated soybean meal but higher (P < 0.05) than those in soybean meal. No differences (P > 0.05) were observed in the digestibility of amino acids between SBP and SPP. The overall mean amino acid digestibility coefficients of casein, isolated soyprotein, soybean meal, maize gluten meal, SBP and SPP were 0.955, 0.888, 0.823, 0.849, 0.860 and 0.856 respectively.

Six barrows, average initial weight 35 kg, fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum, were used to determine the apparent ileal digestibilities of amino acids (AA) and the digestibility of energy in six diets according to a 6 x 6 Latin square design. The pigs were fed six corn starch-based diets formulated to contain 165 g CP per kg from six different white-flowered spring pea cultivars. Chromic oxide was used as the digestibility marker. The pigs were fed twice daily, at 08:00 and 20:00 h. Each experimental period lasted 9 days. Faeces were collected from 08:00 on day 6 to 08:00 h on day 8; ileal digesta from 08:00 on day 7 to 08:00 h on day 9. Of the indispensable (+semi-) AA, there were differences (P≤0.05) in the AA digestibilities of arginine, methionine, phenylalanine and tyrosine between the cultivars. In the same order for these AA, the digestibilities ranged from 81.3 to 89.0%, 67.8 to 75.1%, 68.0 to 74.6% and 66.1 to 74.8%, respectively. Within each cultivar, the digestibilities of cysteine and threonine were relatively low, ranging from 58.5 to 65.9% and from 59.6 to 67.4%, respectively. The digestibility of lysine was relatively high, ranging from 80.3 to 84.0%. The energy digestibilities in the pea cultivars ranged from 87.4 to 90.2% (P≤0.05); the digestible energy content from 14.0 to 14.4 MJ kg-1 DM. There was considerable disappearance of energy in the large intestine, ranging from 4.4 to 6.2 MJ kg-1 DM intake from peas. In conclusion, when measured with the ileal analysis method, there were differences (P≤0.05) in the digestibilities of some of the indispensable AA between the pea samples. Furthermore, the relatively low digestibilities of methionine and cysteine further accentuate the limitation of the sulphur-containing AA in protein from peas. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This study was carried out to estimate basal ileal endogenous crude protein (CP) and amino acid (AA) losses (IAALB) in newly weaned pigs by regression analysis from apparent ileal digestible and the corresponding total dietary contents of CP and AA in order to obtain standardised ileal digestibilities (SID) of CP and AA originating from casein. A total of fourteen 3‐week‐old barrows were fitted with simple T cannulas at the distal ileum and were fed six diets with two pigs per diet in 4 weekly repeated measurements. Corn starch‐based diets containing six graded levels of CP from casein with 90, 155, 220, 285, 350 and 415 g kg?1 CP (as‐fed basis) were formulated. RESULTS: Linear relationships (P < 0.001) between apparent ileal digestible and total dietary contents of CP and AA (g kg?1 dry matter intake (DMI)) exist for CP and all AA in the range of 90–220 g kg?1 CP content in the diet. The IAALB extrapolated from the range of 90–220 g kg?1 CP content are different from zero (P < 0.001 to P = 0.019) except for tryptophan (P = 0.220). Based on regression analysis in the range of 90–220 g kg?1 CP, estimates of IAALB, expressed as g kg?1 DMI, and SID of CP and AA in casein (in parentheses, %) were as follows: CP 9.3 (98.0); arginine 0.4 (98.9); histidine 0.2 (98.5); isoleucine 0.2 (98.1); leucine 0.5 (99.2); lysine 0.4 (99.0); methionine 0.1 (99.1); phenylalanine 0.4 (99.9); threonine 0.6 (97.8); tryptophan 0.1 (96.2); valine 0.4 (98.5). CONCLUSION: The IAALB and SID of CP and AA originating from casein in newly weaned pigs are in close agreement with values obtained in grower finisher pigs.

Maize, soft wheat and barley diets were compiled to have similar crude fibre (CF) concentration by addition of purified cellulose. Protein-free diets, with purified cellulose included at 60 g kg?1 dry matter (DM) (PF1) and 90 g kg?1 DM (PF2), were formulated. Each of four littermate, male pigs (22 kg liveweight) was surgically modified to create an ileo-rectal anastomosis with complete isolation of the large intestine. Diets were fed, and the ileal digesta, excreted via the anus, were collected. Endogenous amino acid output was higher after feeding PF2 than PF1. The choice of factor for correction of apparent digestibility (AD) to true digestibility (TD) was based upon CF intake of cereal diet. AD of most essential amino acids was greater in wheat than in maize or barley, although AD of lysine in barley (67.1%) was higher than in maize (56.8%) or wheat (63.4%). TD of most essential amino acids was higher for wheat and maize than for barley, although TD of lysine was similar for all cereals. Lysine and threonine were the most poorly digested essential amino acids in all cereals. 相似文献

Five castrated male Iberian pigs (100 ± 2 kg mean live body weight) fitted with T‐shaped ileal cannulas were used to determine ileal digestibility of legume seed meals. The diets were based on defatted soybean (256 g kg?1), lupin (451 g kg?1) or chickpea (731 g kg?1) seed meals and contained similar amounts of digestible energy (14.2–15.1 kJ g?1) and protein (107 g kg?1). Only myristic acid (C14:0) ileal apparent digestibility was higher (p < 0.05) in lupin than in chickpea meal. Ileal apparent digestibility of unsaturated fatty acids (FA) (710–920 g kg?1) was higher (p < 0.05) than that of saturated (480–710 g kg?1) FA for both seed meals. Ileal digestibility of chickpea starch was 850 g kg?1. Ileal digestibility of oligosaccharides (sucrose, raffinose, stachyose, verbascose and ciceritol) in lupin (820 g kg?1) and chickpea (690 g kg?1) was higher (p < 0.05) than that of defatted soybean (510 g kg?1). However, total amounts of oligosaccharides digested were higher (p < 0.05) for lupin and chickpea meals (29.6 and 24.6 g kg?1 feed respectively) than for soybean (15.2 g kg?1 feed). Among individual non‐starch polysaccharide (NSP) sugars, ileal digestibility values for rhamnose and xylose in lupins were higher (p < 0.05) than those for soybean or chickpea. Ileal digestibility of lupin meal NSP (650 g kg?1) was higher (p < 0.05) than those of soybean (560 g kg?1) or chickpea (430 g kg?1). Up to the terminal ileum, higher (p < 0.05) amounts of lupin total NSP (94.1 g kg?1) than for soybean (24.3 g kg?1) or chickpea (27.1 g kg?1) were digested. Lactate, acetate and isobutyrate concentrations were higher (p < 0.05) in ileal contents of pigs fed lupin and chickpea seed meals compared with soybean‐fed animals. It is concluded that higher lactate and short chain fatty acids concentrations in ileal contents of pigs fed lupin or chickpea seed meals compared with soybean are likely to be the result of higher total amounts of lupin NSP and/or lupin and chickpea oligosaccharides digested up to the terminal ileum. This might have a protective effect on Iberian pig's intestinal physiology. Both lupin and chickpea meals are likely to constitute a valuable alternative to defatted soybean in Iberian pig feeding.

The nutritive value of three hull-less barley cultivars (Condor, Falcon and CDC Buck) were evaluated. The samples were analysed for proximate composition, amino acids and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP). Wheat and normal barley were used for comparison. Apparent digestibilities were determined with eight cannulated pigs. The diets were formulated to have all energy and protein supplied by the cereals. Compared to normal barley, hull-less barley has higher contents of protein and amino-acids, and lower levels of fibre components. The levels of several essential amino acids in hull-less barley are higher than in wheat. No obvious differences in NSP composition were observed, but the hull-less barley contained considerably higher levels of β-glucan compared to hulled barley and wheat. In digestion trials the piglets did not accept the diet in which conventional barley was formulated as the only energy and protein source, whereas hull-less barleys were well consumed. The results showed that, in the order of Condor, Falcon, CDC Buck and wheat, the overall tract digestibilities of intake energy were 83·1, 80·3, 83·2 and 82·9%, and of protein were 72·6, 69·5, 76·5 and 77·6%, respectively. The averages of apparent ileal amino acid digestibility were 56·5, 58·4, 65·3 and 65·4%, respectively. Hull-less barleys showed 20–37% ileal digestibility of total NSP. This study provides digestibility coefficients of hull-less barleys, and it is concluded that the digestibility of hull-less barley is comparable to wheat and superior to hulled barley in terms of nutrient composition and acceptability. © 1998 SCI. 相似文献

The effects of a commercial xylanase preparation on the apparent metabolisable energy and ileal amino acid digestibility values of wheat (n = 2), triticale and wheat middlings for five-week-old broiler chickens were investigated. The apparent metabolisable energy and ileal amino acid digestibilities in wheat 1 (new season) and wheat 2 (old season) were improved (P < 0.05) by the supplemental enzyme. The apparent metabolisable energy values (MJ kg−1) of wheat 1 and wheat 2, without or with the enzyme, were 13.71 and 14.40, and 14.28 and 15.34, respectively. The average digestibilities of the 15 amino acids in wheat 1 and wheat 2, without or with the enzyme, were 0.85 and 0.91, and 0.85 and 0.90, respectively. Exogenous xylanase was without effect (P > 0.05) on the apparent metabolisable energy values of triticale and wheat middlings. Although numerical advantages in the amino acid digestibility of triticale and wheat middlings were observed with enzyme addition, the differences were not significant (P > 0.05) except for phenylalanine, lysine and glycine in the wheat middlings. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Information on the addition of lipase and/or emulsifiers to less digestible or saturated fat sources, such as tallow or other animal fats, used in swine feeding is very limited. Therefore, in a 4 × 4 Latin square design, the effects of adding lipase (0.05% L5, microbial source) and/or an emulsifier (0.3% Lysoforte) on the apparent ileal (AID) and faecal (AFD) digestibility of the main nutrients and fatty acids in particular were studied with four ileal‐cannulated growing pigs (female, initial live weight 20 kg) fed diets containing barley/soybean meal supplemented with 4% animal fat. The fat source contained 35% saturated (S) and 65% unsaturated (U) fatty acids. All diets were free of antibacterial substances (antibiotics, copper sulphate or zinc oxide beyond requirements), in order to avoid interactions between the parameters studied and the gut flora. Lipase addition did not affect the AID or AFD of fat. However, the digestibility of minor fatty acids (C6:0, C14:0) was significantly improved by lipase at both ileal and faecal level. On the other hand, lipase supplementation (P < 0.05) improved the AID of dry matter (DM) and energy as well as the AFD of DM, organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), ash and energy. Addition of an emulsifier did not have any significant influence on the AID or AFD of fat, while the AID values of DM, OM, CP and energy as well as the AFD values of DM, OM, CP and ash were significantly (P < 0.05) improved. Adding lipase in combination with an emulsifier to the diets decreased (P < 0.05) the AID and AFD of fat, with minor effects on the AID and AFD of the non‐fat components of the diet. The lack of improvement in the digestion of fat by exogenous lipase and/or emulsifier may be related to the rather high U/S ratio (0.65:0.35) of the animal fat source used and to the mode of incorporation of the emulsifier (no pre‐dispersion in the fat source). Furthermore, during the trial the diets, stored at room temperature, showed a steady increase in their content of free fatty acids (to more than 700 g kg?1 fat), due to endogenous lipase activity, leaving less room for upgrading the digestion of animal fat by exogenous lipase and/or emulsifier.

Goat milk is used as an alternative to cow milk for the production of infant formulas. However, little is known about the protein quality and, specifically, about the digestible AA pattern of goat milk formulas compared with their cow milk counterparts. In this study, the true ileal AA digestibility of a goat milk infant formula was compared with a premium cow milk infant formula. The 3-wk-old piglet was used as a model for the 3-mo-old infant. Both milk formulas were prepared as described by the manufacturer, with titanium dioxide added as an indigestible marker. The formulas were fed to the piglets over a 2-wk trial period. Digesta from the terminal ileum were collected post euthanasia and analyzed for AA content, along with samples of the formulas. True AA digestibility was determined after correcting for endogenous AA loss at the terminal ileum of pigs fed an enzyme-hydrolyzed casein-based diet, followed by ultrafiltration (5,000 Da) of the digesta. Total urine and feces collection was also undertaken to determine the nitrogen retention from the diets. The true ileal AA digestibility was similar between the goat and cow milk infant formulas for all AA except Gly and Trp. There was no significant difference in the nitrogen retention of piglets fed the two different formulas. The goat milk infant formula and the premium cow milk infant formula were similar in terms of protein quality. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The study was conducted to determine the effect of graded levels of feed intake on apparent (AID) and standardized (SID) ileal digestibilities of crude protein (CP) and amino acids (AA) in diets for piglets. The piglets were surgically fitted with simple T‐cannulas at the distal ileum. The cornstarch–casein–soybean meal‐based diets were fed at three graded levels of feed intake corresponding to 30, 45 and 60 g kg?1 body weight (BW) per day. RESULTS: The AID and SID of most AA were quadratically affected by the feed intake level (P?0.05). Initially, both AID and SID of most AA increased up to 1.9 percentage units as the feed intake level was increased from 30 to 45 g kg?1 BW. Thereafter, these AID and SID values decreased by 2.6 and 2.7 percentage units, respectively, as the feed intake level was further increased from 45 to 60 g kg?1 BW. CONCLUSION: Because the voluntary feed intake is highly variable in piglets after weaning, comparison of ileal AA digestibilities between and within studies may be confounded by variations in feed intake level. Thus, when designing digestibility studies with piglets, a standardization of feed intake should be taken into consideration. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Studies were carried out to determine the effect of dietary soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) content on nutrient and energy digestibilities in growing pigs. Six barrows, average initial body weight (BW) 47·8±4·0 kg, were fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum and fed two diets according to a crossover design. Two maize starch-based diets were formulated to contain 200 g crude protein (CP) kg−1 from either Nutrisoy (a food-grade defatted soy flour) or autoclaved Nutrisoy. The contents of SBTI in the Nutrisoy and autoclaved Nutrisoy diets were 13·4 and 3·0 g kg−1, respectively. The experiment consisted of two periods of 12 days each. The average BW at the start of the first and second experimental periods were 53·3±3·7 and 61·0±5·1 kg, respectively. The average BW at the conclusion of the experiment was 71·8±7·6 kg. The ileal digestibilities of dry matter (DM), organic (OM), energy, CP and all amino acids measured were higher (P<0·01) in pigs fed the autoclaved Nutrisoy diet. The energy digestibility increased from 66·0 to 77·9%, and the CP digestibility increased from 37·4 to 77·1%. The increases in ileal digestibilities of the indispensable amino acids ranged from 27·0 (methionine) to 49·2 (leucine) percentage units. The increases in ileal digestibilities of the dispensable amino acids ranged from 30·2 (aspartic acid) to 50·8 (tyrosine) percentage units. The faecal digestibilities of all criteria measured were also higher (P<0·01) in pigs fed the autoclaved Nutrisoy diet. Furthermore, there was a greater (P<0·01) net disappearance (g kg−1 DM intake) of DM, OM, CP, energy and all amino acids in the large intestine of pigs fed the Nutrisoy diet. In conclusion, feeding diets containing high levels of SBTI decreased both ileal and faecal digestibilities of all criteria measured. The formation of SBTI-enzyme complexes is likely to be responsible for the reduction in protein digestion and amino acid absorption. © 1998 SCI. 相似文献

The effect of time that digesta were collected on the quantity and representativeness of ileal digesta and on the determination of apparent and true ileal nitrogen (N) digestibility for growing rats was investigated. Semi‐synthetic diets containing chromic oxide as an indigestible marker were given to 200 g live weight rats for 8 days as a single daily meal. The experimental treatments comprised six diets (lactalbumin, soy protein isolate, wheat gluten, fish, protein‐free (PF), enzymically hydrolysed casein (EHC)) and four ileal digesta sampling times (3, 4, 5 and 6 h after the start of feeding). On the eighth day the rats were fed and slaughtered according to treatment, and digesta were sampled from the terminal ileum. Endogenous ileal nitrogen excretion was determined using both the protein‐free and peptide alimentation methods. There was a significant (P = 0.027) effect of experimental diet averaged across sampling times for chromium recovery (CrRec). The CrRec was higher for the rats fed the PF diet than for the other diets. Responses to sampling time varied significantly (P < 0.05) among diets for ileal digesta weight (IDW), nitrogen/chromium (N/Cr) ratio, ileal digesta weight relative to dry matter intake (IDW/DMI), CrRec, N flow, apparent N digestibility and true N digestibility (determined using the protein‐free method). The optimal digesta sampling times for each of the diets were 3 h for PF, EHC, lactalbumin and fish and 4 h for soy protein isolate and wheat gluten. Consequently, 3 or 4 h after the start of feeding is recommended as the optimum ileal digesta sampling time for most purified protein sources when fed to the growing rat as a single daily meal. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

The aim of the study was to determine whether endogenous nitrogen and amino acid excretions at the terminal ileum change over time in the growing pig fed a protein‐free diet for 8 days. Seven entire male pigs with an overall mean live weight of 81.6 kg (SEM 3.3 kg) and surgically implanted post‐valve T caecum cannulas were fed a semi‐synthetic casein‐based diet for 8 days. Food was withheld from the pigs for 24 h, after which they were fed a protein‐free diet for a further 8 days at a rate of 10% of metabolic body weight per day. Chromic oxide was included in the protein‐free diet as an indigestible marker. Ileal digesta were collected continuously from 13:00 to 18:00 h on each day of the experimental period. Endogenous ileal nitrogen flows were determined for each pig each day the protein‐free diet was given, and endogenous ileal amino acid flows for the first and eighth days. There were no significant (P > 0.05) effects of the duration of feeding of the protein‐free diet on endogenous ileal total nitrogen or amino acid flows, except for the amino acids glycine and cysteine, the flows of which significantly decreased over the 8 day period (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05 for glycine and cysteine respectively), from (mean ± SEM) 1639 ± 217 to 892 ± 212 µg g−1 dry matter intake (DMI) for glycine and from 173 ± 13 to 127 ± 19 µg g−1 DMI for cysteine. The relative contributions (moles of each amino acid as a proportion of total moles of amino acids) of threonine, glycine and cysteine decreased significantly (P < 0.05) and that of proline increased significantly (P < 0.05) during the 8 days that the protein‐free diet was fed to the pigs. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Five castrated male Iberian pigs (100 ± 2 kg body weight) fitted with T‐shaped cannulas at the terminal ileum were used to determine ileal digestibility of legume seed meals. The diets were based on defatted soybean, lupin or chickpea seed meals and contained similar levels of digestible energy (14.2–15.1 kJ g?1) and protein (107 g kg?1). Protein‐free and a hydrolysed casein diets were used to study endogenous ileal amino acid flows. Chromium oxide (10 g kg?1 diet) was added to the diets as an indigestible marker. Ileal flows in pigs fed the hydrolysed casein diet were different (p < 0.05) in amino acid contents and composition from those on the protein‐free diet. Ileal sialic acid flows in pigs fed lupin‐ or chickpea‐based diets were higher (p < 0.05) than those of animals fed soybean or casein diets. Among essential amino acids, only the apparent ileal digestibilities of phenylalanine and valine in lupin meal were lower (p < 0.05) than those in soybean. Apparent ileal digestibilities of lupin aspartate and proline, together with chickpea aspartate, were also lower (p < 0.05) than those of soybean. True ileal digestibility of nitrogen in pigs fed lupin or chickpea meals, calculated according to values from animals fed the protein‐free diet, was lower (p < 0.05) than that for soybean or casein. Among individual essential amino acids, only the true ileal digestibility of phenylalanine in lupin was lower (p < 0.05) than that in soybean. True ileal digestibility of nitrogen calculated according to values obtained with pigs fed a hydrolysed casein diet was not different among soybean, lupin or chickpea meals. Among essential amino acids, only the true ileal digestibilities of isoleucine and lysine in chickpea were lower (p < 0.05) than those of soybean. It is concluded that true ileal nitrogen and amino acid digestibilities of lupin and chickpea meals are comparable to those of defatted soybean in Iberian pigs. The results with protein‐free diets tended to underestimate endogenous protein secretion in pigs fed on diets containing protein. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献
