The main objective of the study was to investigate the effect of partial replacement of soybean meal (SBM) protein with sunflower meal (SFM) protein on growth performance, feed utilisation, survival and body composition of GIFT tilapia. Fish weighing between 1.03±0.01 and 1.19±0.02 g were stocked in in plastic troughs (50 l) at a stocking rate of 15 fishes per trough. Percent replacement of SBM by SFM on the basis of crude protein was 0% (control), 10% (SFM10), 20% (SFM20) and 30% (SFM30). Diets were fed to fish at the rate of 5% of the total fish biomass, daily for a period of 60 days. Fish fed with SFM 20% and SFM 30% sunflower meal had best performance in terms of weight gain, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio, feed efficiency ratio and feed conversion ratio (p<0.05). Analysis of fish whole body composition revealed that with increasing dietary SFM levels, whole body protein, ash and moisture contents showed significant difference among dietary treatments (p<0.05). Fish fed with SFM 30 diet showed the best growth performance compared to fish fed with the control diet.

An eight-weeks feeding trial was conducted to study the effects of dietary L-lysine and/or phytase supplementation in corn gluten meal-soybean meal (CGM-SBM) protein blend diets on the growth, apparent digestibility, whole body chemical composition and digestive enzyme activity of Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei (Boone, 1931) juveniles. Five isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated viz., control diet (T0), with 20% fishmeal was compared against four CGM-SBM based diets, T1 with no supplementation, T2 supplemented with L-lysine, T3 supplemented with phytase and T4 supplemented with L-lysine + phytase. Dietary lysine supplementation had a significant effect (p<0.05) on growth performance and feed conversion ratio (FCR), while supplementation of dietary phytase had no effect on growth performance. Apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) value for crude protein increased by 2.5 to 3% on supplementation of phytase (500 FTU kg-1 feed) in the diets. The protein digestibility increased by 8 to 11% with the addition of dietary phytase than other treatment groups with no supplementation of phytase. The amylase and lipase enzyme activity of T3 and T4 supplemented with dietary phytase was higher than the groups that were not supplemented with dietary phytase. Higher protease activity was observed in T2 diet supplemented with dietary L-lysine. L-lysine and phytase supplementation in plant based CGM-SBM protein blend diets resulted in better growth performance of P. vannamei.

Abstract Four experiments were conducted to determine the effects of increasing soybean meal (SBM) in diets with or without 25% DDGS on growth performance of nursery pigs. Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 3 factorial with main effects of SBM (27.5, 32.5, or 37.5%) and DDGS (0 or 25%). A total of 296, 2,502, 4,118, and 711 pigs, initially 10.6, 11.7, 12.5, and 12.3 kg, were used and there were 10, 16, 13, and 12 replicates per treatment in Exp. 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Experimental diets were fed for 21 d. Pigs were weighed and feed disappearance measured to calculate ADG, ADFI, G:F, and caloric efficiency (CE). Data were analyzed using the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS with block as random effect and treatment as fixed effect. The average cull rate was 0.7, 0.5, 0.2, and 0% and the mortality rate was 0.7, 0.3, 0.4, and 0% in Exp. 1 to 4, respectively. There were interactions (P ≤ 0.039) between SBM and DDGS for G:F and CE in Exp. 2 and for ADG and ADFI in Exp. 3. These were mostly driven by increasing SBM negatively affecting performance in a greater magnitude when diets contained DDGS compared to diets without DDGS. The main effects of DDGS and SBM were more consistent across experiments. Pigs fed diets with 25% DDGS had decreased (P ≤ 0.001) ADG and ADFI in all experiments as well as poorer (P ≤ 0.028) G:F and CE except for Exp. 3. Feeding increasing amounts of SBM generally did not result in any major impact in ADG, but consistently improved (linear, P ≤ 0.078) G:F and CE across experiments. The mechanism for this response is unclear but could be driven by intrinsic components of SBM or underestimating the energy value of SBM.

Soy protein concentrate improves nutrient utilization and growth performance compared to soybean meal, and diets with a low crude protein (CP) level decreases diarrhoea. The objectives were to (1) test a low CP diet based on different soy products, and (2) to test a very-low CP diet (15.1%) with amino acids (AA) on diarrhoea and productivity. A total of 5,635 weaned pigs (~28 days), were assigned to five dietary treatments; PC (positive control): Standard CP levels (192, 189, 191 g/kg CP) with 2500 ppm ZnO; NC (negative control): Same as PC without ZnO; SP (Soy protein concentrate): Low CP levels (176, 174, 191 g/kg CP); SB (Soybean meal): Low CP levels (177, 176, 191 g/kg CP); and XLA (X-low CP + AA): Very low CP levels (154, 151, 191 g/kg CP) with AA. The PC and XLA diets reduced diarrhoea by 41 and 61%, respectively, compared to the NC group, while no difference between SB and SP were observed. The XLA diet reduced feed intake and daily gain compared with PC and NC, where SP, SB, and XLA had a poorer feed conversion compared with PC. Conclusively, the SP and SB low-protein diets did not reduce diarrhoea or growth performance, whereas the XLA diet decreased both diarrhoea and performance.
