I. INTRODUCTIONDietary electrolyte balance (DEB) is defined by the interrelationship between sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl-) where DEB = Na++K+ -Cl- as mEq/kg and it plays an influential role in homeostasis of the body fluids. Borges et al. (2004) investigated DEB in two experiments and concluded that there was a quadratic effect on weight gain and feed conversion efficiency (FCE) ...

Friends:The question here is not which grinding step is better than the other one, the question is WHERE and WHEN to apply each of those during the feed processing. It is well known that fine grinding provide more surface area of contact at the conditioning process compared against normal/coarse grinding, fine particles allow for the steam to penetrate into the piece faster than coarse particles a ...

INTRODUCTIONThe rapid expansion of commercial ethanol production, esp. in the United States, has resulted in a significant increase in the availability of corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), a co-product of the ethanol production process (De Matteis et al., 2019). Total annual ethanol and DDGS production in the USA is 15 billion gallons and 44 million metric tons, respectively, maki ...

Dear Dr. Stringhini et al., in my assessment your data on soybean meal quality are very interesting. Based on our experience, and considering also several reports in the scientific literature, the range of adequacy for KOH protein solubility in soybean meal is in the range of 80-85%. Your data based on the analysis of 283 samples from the commercial reality show that 52.64% of the samples or 189 o ...

INTRODUCTIONThe use of soybean meal in poultry diets can be tested for antinutritional factors, which is easily identified with ureatic activity and protein solubility in KOH analysis. This research aimed to evaluate soybean meal quality measured by ureatic activity and KOH solubility in poultry feed mills.MATERIAL AND METHODSFor this analysis, 283 samples were obtained from a broiler feed mill lo ...
