Economic Return
Productive energy (PE) predicts performance and economics better than N-corrected apparent metabolizable (AMEn) or classic net energy (CNE; CNE = AME – heat increment, HI). This study developed models to…
Accurate energy values for diet formulation help meet broiler performance and economic objectives. Previous research has shown that energy balance of test ingredients may be affected by assay methodology. Two…
Fiber is one of the four macronutrients that yield dietary energy for pigs (others are starch, fat, and protein). To yield energy, fiber must be fermented (primarily in the hindgut)…
…cost has hit the turkey industry disproportionally relative to other species due to high energy requirement of turkeys. This change in economic environment has provided new incentive to turkey producers…
…on the economic effects of U.S. dehulled soybean meal in swine feeds have been reported (Kim et. al., 2000). It is well recognized that U.S. dehulled meal is superior to…
…solubility tests. Feeding trials will include a lab scale feeding trial (in vivo assay) to compare protein quality, and a test-farm scale feeding trial to compare economic feasibility in broilers….
…quality and economic value of that meal can be calculated. A lower quality SBM (with lower levels of metabolizable energy and digestible amino acids) may still produce good broiler performance…
A technical writer for the Pork Network investigated whether feeding higher levels of soybean meal makes good economic sense with the recent lower corn and soybean meal ingredient prices. Soybean…
…non-beneficial NSPs will enable increasing the concentrations of valuable economic traits, such as soybean oil and protein, and will increase the feed net energy value of soybean meal. This study…
…sows supplemented with 1 lb of soy oil prefarrow (4.5 vs. 4.4 days). While .1 of day is not of great economic importance itself, a lower wean-to-conception interval would tend…
