Soybean meal mitigates respiratory disease–impaired growth in pigs
Respiratory disease (SRD) impairs feed conversion and daily gain by at least 8 and 10%.

Respiratory disease (SRD) impairs feed conversion and daily gain by at least 8 and 10%.
Inevitably, pigs will experience stressors that antagonize lean tissue accretion, appetite, and feed conversion. Depending on the production system and age of the pig, these stressors commonly include weaning transition,…
…of immunological insult and disease are among the highest. Improvements of soybean processing and development of soy protein products with little to no antinutritional factors have made soy more appropriate…
The objective of this swine study was to evaluate whether high levels of soybean meal (SBM) could modulate the pig’s response to a respiratory disease challenge by reducing systemic viral…
There is growing consensus that SBM may provide protective benefits to pigs experiencing disease challenges, especially in mid-late finishing phase of production. Anecdotal and unpublished data suggest that limiting the…
…ratio of BCAA in a supplemental form as compared to the ingredient-bound form which would affect the dynamics of utilization in different disease-challenged conditions, especially those affecting digesta passage ratio….
Soy isoflavones are naturally occurring compounds with a wide variety of biological activities, including estrogenic, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties that could be beneficial in disease-challenged pigs. Previous work has shown…
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a significant disease in the swine industry, and increasing soybean meal (SBM) consumption during this disease challenge may improve performance. Our objectives…

…(L-SBM) plus lysine, threonine. Pigs were unexpectedly infected with diseases that trigger systemic inflammation. Diagnostic results confirmed pigs as PRRS and PCV2 (circovirus) positive; PCV2 tissue lesions were present. Mortality…
