Nutrient digestibility and endogenous protein losses in the foregut and small intestine of weaned dairy calves fed calf starters with conventional or enzyme-treated soybean meal

Abstract: The aims of this experiment were (1) to compare the effects of a soybean meal with an enzymatic treatment (ESBM) to reduce the concentration of antinutritional factors versus a standard soybean meal (SBM) on foregut and small intestine digestion in weaned dairy calves and (2) to estimate the endogenous losses of crude protein (CP) in the small intestine. Our hypothesis was that a diet containing ESBM instead of SBM would improve ruminal and small intestine digestion and absorption of nutrients. A T-cannula was… Show more

“…Exogenous enzyme cocktails, such as carbohydrases, can break specific chemical bonds in plant-based diets 13 , 15 . Protease and lipase can improve the digestibility of amino acids and dietary lipids, respectively 16 , 17 . Currently, multienzyme complexes contain lipase used for feed supplementation are seldom reported.…”

“…The effect of soybean trypsin inhibitors on ruminants and monogastric animals has been extensively studied. Most of these reports show that the nutritional value of soybeans for ruminants and monogastric animals is limited by these anti-nutritional factors, which can interfere with feed intake and nutrient metabolism [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ].…”

“…Ruckman et al [ 27 ] also reported that feeding ESBM could improve gut morphology. The reason for the current finding might be that the ESBM could improve the CP absorption and microbial protein synthesis efficiency [ 37 ], which might be beneficial for gut morphology.…”
