Effects of Soybean Meal Fermented by Enterococcus Faecium as a Replacement for Soybean Meal Could Improve the Growth Performance and Nutrient Digestibility by Modulating the Gut Microbiome of Weaning piglets
Abstract:Background: This study investigates the effects of soybean meal fermented by Enterococcus faecium as a replacement for soybean meal on growth performance, apparent total tract digestibility, blood profile and gut microbiota of weaned pigs.
Methods: Eighty piglets (weaned at 21 days) [(Landrace x Yorkshire) x Duroc] with average body weight of 6.52 ± 0.59 kg) were selected and assigned to 4 treatments / 4 replicate pens (3 barrows and 2 gilts). The four diets (SBM, 3%, 6% and 9% FSBM) were formulated using FSBM… Show more
