Different Dietary Protein Sources in Low-Protein Diets Induces Changes in Antioxidant Capacity, Immunity, Fecal Microbiota and Metabolites of Weaned Piglets
Abstract:Background: The inclusion of high-quality proteins and the protein restriction are commonly used in swine production. Our study was conducted to evaluate the effects of hydrolyzed wheat protein (HWP), fermented soybean meal (FSBM), and enzyme-treated soybean meal (ESBM) in low-protein diets on antioxidant capacity, immunity, fecal microbiota and metabolites of weaned piglets.Methods: A total of 144 weaned piglets were randomly assigned to 3 dietary treatments with 6 replications of 8 piglets per pen. The exper… Show more
