A study was carried out to determine the influence of partial mechanical tail-end dehulling on apparent ileal amino acid (AA) digestibilities and digestible energy content in canola meal (CM) samples for growing pigs. Twenty Landrace × Yorkshire barrows, with an initial body weight of 35 kg, were fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum. Digestibilities were determined in 12 experimental diets with observations from five pigs per diet. Five batches of regular CM were obtained from five different crushing plants in Western Canada. A fraction of these batches was partially dehulled. The regular and partially dehulled CM samples were included at 20% in a barley-based diet. One pooled high-fiber CM sample and a straight barley diet were evaluated as well. Partial dehulling increased (P < 0.05) the digestible energy (DE) content from 12.2 to 13.3 MJ kg DM−1, respectively, and the level of crude protein (CP) from 40.6 to 43.8% in regular and partially dehulled CM samples, respectively. The digestibility of threonine was increased (P < 0.05) by partial dehulling, from 72.1 to 75.5%; the digestibilities of CP, lysine, methionine and cysteine were not affected (P > 0.05). Only the digestibilities of methionine and threonine were lower (P < 0.05) in the high-fiber CM sample than in the regular and partially dehulled samples. Digestible energy content, which ranged from 10.8 to 14.2 MJ kg DM−1, differed (P < 0.05) between crushing plants for both regular and partially dehulled CM samples. The digestibility of lysine did not differ (P > 0.05) between processing plants for the regular CM samples. The digestibility of lysine did not differ (P > 0.05) between processing plants for the regular CM samples. In contrast, there were differences (P < 0.05) in lysine digestibility, ranging from 74.8 to 83.8%, and methionine, ranging from 80.4 to 86.9%, between crushing plants for partially dehulled samples. There were low negative relationships between apparent ileal AA digestibilities and NDF, ADF and CF levels (r < 0.39) and between DE content and NDF, ADF and CF levels (r < 0.36) in the CM samples. In conclusion, the reduction in fiber content by mechanical tail-end dehulling increased the supply of DE and the level of CP, but did not influence apparent ileal CP or AA digestibilities, except for threonine which was slightly increased.

Almeida, F. N., Htoo, J. K., Thomson, J. and Stein, H. H. 2013. Amino acid digestibility in camelina products fed to growing pigs. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 93: 335–343. Camelina seed production has increased in North America because of demand for camelina oil for biofuel production. Camelina expellers (CE) is the co-product that remains after oil has been expelled, and CE usually contains approximately 35% crude protein (CP), 14% ether extract, 10% crude fiber, and 5% ash making it an attractive feedstuff for livestock. An experiment was conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of CP and amino acids (AA) in two sources of camelina seeds [CS-1 and CS-2; average: 39% acid hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE), 28% CP, 27% neutral detergent fiber (NDF), 12% acid detergent fiber (ADF), 4% ash] and in three sources of CE (CE-1, CE-2, and CE-3; average: 35% CP, 24% NDF, 15% AEE, 14% ADF, 6% ash) and to compare the SID of CP and AA in camelina products with the SID of CP and AA in solvent-extracted canola meal fed to pigs. Seven growing pigs (initial BW 43.5 kg) were randomly allotted to a 7×7 Latin square design with seven diets fed to individually housed pigs over seven periods. Six of the diets contained CS, CE, or canola meal as the sole source of CP and AA and a N-free diet was used to determine basal endogenous losses of CP and AA. The SID of CP in CS-1 and CE-2 was less (P<0.01) than the SID of CP in canola meal, but the SID of CP in CS-2, CE-1, and CE-3 was not different from the SID of CP in canola meal. The SID of Lys in CS-1 and CS-2 was less (P<0.01) than in canola meal, but the SID of Lys was not different among CE-1, CE-2, CE-3, and canola meal. Results from this experiment indicate that the SID of AA in CE is mostly comparable with that of canola meal, but the digestibility of CP and AA in the two camelina seeds was somewhat less than in CE and canola meal. Camelina expellers may, therefore, be included in diets fed to pigs.

Heat Application

Three experiments were conducted to examine the effect of heating field peas (Pisum sativum cultivar Dundale) on (1) proximate analysis and total amino acid composition, (2) ileal and faecal digestibilities of amino acids, and (3) digestible energy content. Alternative techniques for assessing ileal and faecal digestibilities and digestible energy respectively, were also investigated. Forced-air dehydrators were used to heat field peas at temperatures of 110°, 135°, 150° or 165°. In the first experiment the apparent ileal and faecal digestibilities of amino acids and the faecal digestibility of energy in the raw and heated field peas were determined using pigs fitted with ‘T’ -shaped cannulas. In the second, apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids and the faecal digestibility of energy were determined using the direct ileal and rectal sampling technique. This involved a single collection of digesta and faeces from the digestive tract of the pig while it was anaesthetized. The faecal digestibilities of amino acids and energy were determined using total faeces collection in the third experiment. In all experiments the respective field-pea treatments comprised 400 g/kg sugar-based diets and were the only source of amino acids. Heat significantly decreased the lysine (14.6–8.7 g/kg; P < 0.001), cystine (3.2–2.6 g/kg; P < 0.01) and arginine (16.7–14.5 g/kg; P < 0.05) contents of the heated peas. The ‘reactive’ lysine content of the field peas, as measured using the Silcock technique, was decreased by 0.11 and 0.30 with the application of heat at 150° and 165° respectively. Heat treatments did not alter the ileal digestibility of most amino acids. Only aspartic acid (0.72–0.58), glutamic acid (0.80–0.65) and the basic amino acids, lysine (0.79–0.56) and arginine (0.85–0.75), showed a significant linear decrease (P < 0.05) in ileal digestibility over the heat treatments, determined using the ileal cannulation procedure. Heating significantly (P < 0.05) decreased faecal digestibility for all amino acids. Faecal digestibility was consistently greater than ileal digestibility for the raw field peas; however, this difference decreased with heat application until faecal digestibility was equal or less than ileal digestibility at the 165° treatment. Heat linearly depressed digestible energy, diet dry-matter digestibility and diet energy digestibility. Losses in lysine, cystine and arginine are likely to be due to early and advanced Maillard reactions. Considerable binding of the remaining lysine also occurred as indicated by a decline in Silcock-reactive lysine. The results indicate that the direct ileal sampling technique is a viable alternative to the cannulation procedure for amino acids, but further method development is required to decrease the variability associated with measurements. The estimation of faecal digestibility using indigestible markers and the partial faeces collection technique was as efficient as total faeces collection. In general, ileal digestibility of amino acids showed little response to heating, however, any changes that were observed were greatest for lysine. In contrast, faecal digestibility of all amino acids was greatly reduced with increasing heat application. This response appeared to be largely due to the effect of heating on microbial degradation and synthesis of amino acids in the hind-gut, rather than a reflection of the changes within the protein induced by heating. This variable response makes faecal digestibility an unreliable estimator of amino acid ileal digestibility.

The study aimed to compare the digestible and net energy (DE and NE) contents of three canola meals (CM) toasted (95°C) or not after desolventization from yellow Brassica junceae (YBJ) and yellow and black Brassica napus (YBN and BBN) in growing pigs. A basal diet and six CM-based diets (2/3 basal diet and 1/3 CM) supplemented with acid-insoluble ash (indigestible marker) were prepared. The growing pigs (28 kg; six per treatment) were kept in metabolic cages for 18 d and their faeces were collected for the last 10 d. The digestibilities and DE content of the CM were determined based on the total faecal excretion and the indigestible marker method. NE was estimated with a prediction equation. The DE and NE contents of the YBN meal (3.98 and 2.73 Mcal kg-1 DM) were higher (P = 0.007) than that of the YBJ (3.76 and 2.59 Mcal kg-1 DM) and BBN (3.64 and 2.43 Mcal kg-1 DM) meals. Toasting had no effect (P > 0.05) on the DE and NE contents. Inconsistent values were obtained with the indigestible marker, as compared with the total faecal collection method. In conclusion, YBN canola presents the highest energy content, and toasting of CM does not affect its energy values in growing pigs.Key words: Canola meal, growing pigs, toasting, digestible energy, net energy

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the effects of an Aspergillus oryzae prebiotic (AOP, Amaferm®) on nutrient digestibility in growing pigs fed high fiber diets. Eighteen growing barrows (initial BW = 50.60 ± 4.90 kg) were surgically equipped with a T-cannula at the distal ileum. Three diets were formulated by including 29.65% corn-distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), 36.65% rice bran (RB) or 24.59% wheat middlings (WM) in corn and soybean meal-based diets to meet nutrient requirements for 50 to 75 kg growing pigs. Three additional diets were formulated by supplementing 0.05% AOP at the expense of corn in DDGS (DDGS + AOP), RB (RB + AOP), and wheat middlings (WM + AOP) diets. Pigs were allotted randomly to a triplicated 6 × 2 Youden square design with 6 diets and 2 successive periods. Feces and ileal digesta were collected for 2 d after a 21 d adaptation period, and nutrient content was analyzed to calculate apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and apparent ileal digestibility (AID). Standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids was calculated by correcting AID with basal endogenous amino acid losses determined from the same set of pigs. Supplementation of 0.05% AOP increased (P &lt; 0.05) ATTD of DM, GE, CP, NDF, and ash in DDGS, RB, and WM diets. Diet DE was 35 kcal/kg greater (P &lt; 0.05) in pigs fed AOP supplemented diets compared with those fed diets without AOP. Pigs fed DDGS+AOP diet had greater (P &lt; 0.05) AID of ether extract compared to those fed DDGS diet. However, supplementation of AOP did not (P &gt; 0.05) affect AID of GE, DM, CP, NDF, ash or SID of amino acids. In conclusion, supplementation of AOP in high fiber diets containing DDGS, RB, or WM increased total tract energy value and nutrient digestibility.

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) concentrations in high-fiber ingredients fed to growing pigs. Twelve barrows with an initial body weight of 57.5 kg (SD = 5.7) were individually housed in metabolism crates. A replicated 6 × 3 incomplete Latin square design with 12 animals, 6 experimental diets and 3 periods was employed. A basal diet was composed of 75.0% corn and 22.7% soybean meal (SBM) as the sole energy sources. Four experimental diets were prepared by replacing 40% of corn and SBM with soybean hulls (SH), corn gluten feed (CGF), wheat bran (WB), or rice bran (RB). An additional diet was prepared by replacing 10% of corn and SBM with cashew nut hulls (CNH). Each period consisted of a 4-d adaptation period and a 4-d collection period, and the marker-to-marker procedure was used for total collection of feces and urine. The DE and ME values in RB (3,969 and 3,936 kcal/kg DM) were greater (P &lt; 0.05) than those in CGF (2,654 and 2,520 kcal/kg DM) and SH (2,492 and 2,541 kcal/kg DM) and the energy values in WB (3,162 and 3,118 kcal/kg DM) were not different from those in RB, CGF, or SH. The DE and ME values in CNH (350 and 572 kcal/kg DM) were less (P &lt; 0.05) than those in all other test ingredients. In conclusion, energy concentrations in RB were greatest among the high-fiber test ingredients, whereas CNH had the lowest values.

AbstractPistachios (Pistacia Vera) are nutrient-dense foods with a healthy nutritional profile that contains fiber, unsaturated fatty acids, essential nutrients, phytochemicals and protein. However, the nutritional quality of the protein has not been characterized to date. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) and Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) for raw and roasted American pistachio nuts in growing pigs. The values for apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of crude protein (CP) and the standard ileal digestibility (SID) where calculated for these proteins. The CP content was greater for raw pistachios (27.1%) compared with roasted pistachios (25.1%). The amino acid (AA) in greatest concentrations for both types of pistachio were arginine followed by leucine. The AA in the lowest concentration were tryptophan followed by methionine. The AID of CP was greater (P < 0.05) for raw pistachios than for roasted pistachios, and the AID of most indispensable AA (IAA), except arginine, isoleucine, and phenylalanine, was greater (P < 0.05) for raw pistachios. The SID of CP was greater (P < 0.05) for raw than for roasted pistachios, and the SID of all IAA, except phenylalanine, was greater (P < 0.05) for raw than for roasted pistachios. The PDCAAS value calculated for both types of pistachios was based on the requirement for children from 2 to 5 years old (FAO, 1991), whereas the DIAAS value was calculated based on the requirement for children 3 years and older, adolescents, and adults (FAO, 2013). Both raw and roasted pistachios had a PDCAAS value of 75. In contrast, the DIAAS was numerically greater for raw pistachios than for roasted pistachios with values of 86 and 83, respectively. For PDCAAS, the first limiting AA in both raw and roasted pistachios when compared with the AA requirements for children 2 to 5 years was threonine. For DIAAS, lysine was the first limiting AA in both raw and roasted pistachios when compared with the AA requirements for children 3 years and older, adolescents, and adults. Based on the DIAAS cut-off values describing protein quality (FAO, 2013), raw pistachios and roasted pistachios can both be considered a ‘Good’ quality protein if consumed by children older than 3 year, adolescents, and adults.
