Effects of Feeding Low-oligosaccharide Soybean Meal to Weanling Pigs

Pangeni, D. and co-workers
2017

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of replacing conventional soybean meal (SBM) with low-oligosaccharide soybean meal (LOSBM) on pig performance and various physiological measurements. Thirty-two 19-day old pigs weighing about 6.2 kg were individually fed four experimental diets for 14 days. Results indicated that replacing conventional soybean meal with low-oligosaccharide soybean meal reduced the viscosity intestinal digesta, but had no effects on the pig’s growth performance or intestinal morphology.
