Fourteen ileally cannulated pigs (BW = 35 +/- 2 kg) were randomly allotted to a replicated 7 x 7 Latin square design experiment to evaluate the influence of the soybean oligosaccharides (OS), raffinose and stachyose, on ileal nutrient digestibility and fecal consistency. Semipurified diets containing soy protein concentrate (SPC) or soybean meal (SBM) as the sole protein sources were fed. Soy solubles (SS), a by-product of SBM processing containing 3.5% raffinose and 11.5% stachyose, were used to increase dietary raffinose and stachyose concentrations. The seven dietary treatments were SPC, SPC + 9% SS, SBM, SBM + 9% SS, SBM + 18% SS, SBM + 24,000 U alpha-galactosidase enzyme preparation/kg diet, and a low-protein casein (LPC) diet used to calculate true digestibility. Diets, with the exception of the LPC diet, were formulated to contain 17% CP. All diets contained 0.5% chromic oxide as a marker for ileal digestibility determination. The experimental periods were divided into a 5-d diet adaptation followed by 2-d of ileal digesta collection. Diets and digesta were analyzed for DM, N, Cr, amino acids (AA), raffinose, and stachyose. Fecal consistency was determined on d 6 and 7 of each experimental period. The apparent and true ileal AA digestibilities were not different (P < 0.05) for the SPC and SBM control diets. When SS was added to the SPC diet, apparent and true N and AA digestibilities were depressed (P < 0.05) with the exception of Trp and Pro. The apparent and true ileal N and AA digestibilities were not different (P > 0.05) between the SBM control and SBM + 9% SS diets with the exception of Glu. There was a linear decrease (P < 0.05) in apparent and true DM, Val, Gly, and Tyr digestibilities when increasing levels of SS were added to the SBM diet. The addition of alpha-galactosidase did not improve apparent or true ileal N or AA digestibilities except for apparent and true Val and Tyr. Ileal raffinose digestibility was improved (P < 0.05) by addition of a-galactosidase, but was not affected by any other dietary treatment. Ileal stachyose digestibility was not affected (P > 0.58) by treatment. Fecal consistency likewise was not affected (P > 0.36) by dietary treatment. In conclusion, soy OS reduced nutrient digestibilities, but the reductions were small, ranging from approximately 1.1 to 7.4 percentage units. This suggests that other factors may be negatively impacting SBM digestibility.
The apparent ileal digestibilities of amino acids and rate of passage were evaluated in pigs (BW = 78.3 +/- 7.4 kg) fed a semipurified diet. The pigs were fed 1.82, 2.73, or 3.65 kg DMI/d. The highest level of feed intake was considered to be ad libitum feeding. The pigs were fed according to a 3 x 3 Latin square design and were allowed to adapt to each experimental diet for 5 d. This was followed by 1 d of continuous collection of ileal digesta and a 2nd d of continuous collection separated into six 2-h postprandial time blocks. Ytterbium chloride hexahydrate was used to determine rate of passage. The ileal digestibilities of amino acids and rate of passage were unaffected (P > 0.05) by level of feed intake. The use of correction factors to more accurately express amino acid concentrations in the diet and digesta affected (P < 0.05) the apparent ileal digestibility coefficients of some amino acids.
Albin, D. M., Smiricky, M. R., Wubben, J. E. and Gabert, V. M. 2001. The effect of dietary level of soybean oil and palm oil on apparent ileal amino acid digestibility and postprandial flow patterns of chromic oxide and amino acids in pigs. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 81: 495-503. A study was conducted to evaluate the apparent ileal digestibilities of amino acids in pigs (initial weight 78 kg) fed diets supplemented with either soybean or palm oil, at either 100 or 200 g kg -1 diet. A control diet with no added fat was also evaluated. All diets contained 5 g chromic oxide kg -1 . The pigs were surgically fitted with a simple T cannula at the distal ileum, and were allowed to adapt to each experimental diet for 5 d. This was followed by 1 d of continuous collection of ileal digesta between feedings, and a second day of continuous collection separated into six 2-h postprandial time blocks to determine postprandial flow patterns of chromic oxide and amino acids. The apparent ileal leucine and arginine digestibilities were improved (P < 0.05) by 3.8 and 3.6%, respectively, with 200 g soybean oil kg -1 diet. Linear improvements (P < 0.05) were found in the apparent ileal digestibilities of serine, histidine, arginine, tyrosine, and leucine when 100 and 200 g soybean oil kg -1 diet were supplemented to the control diet, and for serine, histidine, arginine, and phenylalanine with the addition of 100 and 200 g palm oil kg -1 diet. Quadratic responses (P < 0.05) were found in the apparent ileal digestibilities of isoleucine and leucine with the addition of 100 and 200 g palm oil kg -1 diet. The postprandial flow patterns of chromic oxide and amino acids were very stable despite the different dietary treatments. Also, amino acid digestibility coefficients determined at different postprandial sampling times had low variability. In conclusion, the addition of high levels of soybean and palm oil to a semipurified swine diet increased the apparent ileal digestibilities of some amino acids. Also, the two fat sources affected some apparent ileal amino acid digestibility coefficients differently.
