“…The digestibility of crude protein (Table 3) increased as the percentage of ash and fibre decreased, which is in agreement with published data (e.g. Just, 1980;1982). In feed H it was on average 2.5% higher (P^0.05) than in feed L.…”

Thirty six Landrace pigs from 60 to 110 kg liveweight were given diets of similar available lysine and metabolizable energy contents. The feed mixtures contained an average of 16% soya bean meal (SBM) or 21 % rapeseed meal (RSM) of a double-low variety (8.7 moles glucosinolates per g fat-free dry matter). Energy retention in the body was measured by the comparative slaughter technique. The weight of the internal organs and thyroid gland and T 3 and T 4 hormone concentrations in blood samples taken at slaughter were also determined.The weight of the thyroid and liver were 55 % (P ^ 0.001) and 16% (P ^ 0.001) higher, respectively, in the animals fed RSM. The RSM diet caused no significant difference in the chemical composition of the body gain, blood T 3 and T 4 levels as in the weight of the kidneys. The maintenance requirement and energy cost of protein deposition in the body of pigs did not differ between the groups (511 kJ/kg 0 75 /d and 68 kJ/g, respectively).

“…At present, there is enough evidence that fibre can affect carcass composition of pigs (Bach Knudsen 2011). In agreement with our findings, Just (1982Just ( , 1984 found lighter BW and carcass weight for pigs fed greater amounts of fibre. However, current results were in contrast with previous data reporting no effects of the starch type and fibre level on pig carcass characteristics (Prandini, Sigolo, Giuberti, et al 2015).…”

The effect of diets based on two different barley varieties, with or without non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) degrading enzymes was evaluated on growth performance, carcass characteristics and fresh thigh quality in Italian heavy growing-finishing pigs. Pigs (64) were assigned to four diets: two diets based on 85% of hulled normal-amylose barley (Cometa, with or without NSP enzyme complex) and two diets based on 85% of hulless low-amylose barley (Alamo, with or without NSP enzyme complex). The diets were formulated according to three growth phases with same lisyne:digestible energy ratio. The NSP enzyme complex did not improve the Cometa and Alamo diets in terms of pig growth performance, carcass characteristics and fresh thigh quality. Throughout the study, the Alamo group had greater (p < 0.05) final body weight, average daily gain and gain per megacalorie of digestible energy than the Cometa group. Higher (p < 0.05) carcass and thigh weights, and lower (p < 0.01) thigh chilling losses were observed for the Alamo group compared with the Cometa group. The Cometa diet decreased (p < 0.01) polyunsaturated fatty acids level, and increased (p < 0.01) monounsaturated fatty acid content and saturated fatty acids/polyunsaturated fatty acids ratio in subcutaneous fat of fresh thighs. No appreciable differences were observed in the color of subcutaneous fat and biceps femoris of pigs fed the Cometa and Alamo diets. Feeding hulless low-amylose barley to growing-finishing pigs can be valuable to promote growth performance and carcass characteristics. No NSP enzyme complex is needed when hulled normal-amylose barley or hulless low-amylose barley are used in diets for heavy pigs. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…The decrease in digestibility of CP, OM and GE in relation to crude fibre content of dietary DM was lower than the results reported by Just, who used barley straw meal (Just, 1982b) and wheat and oat bran meals (Just, 1982a) to increase dietary fibre content in different diets. Dietary concentrations of the amino acids in relation to the estimated contents of ME in diets 8WSM and 16WSM were 99 and 98%, respectively, of that in the 0WSM diet, but in terms of faecal digestibility the ratio was only 92 and 89%.…”
