Determination and prediction of the apparent and standardized ileal amino acid digestibility in soybean meal fed to the pullets by Sumei Cao, Yuxin Yang, Guangtian Ma, Jing Wang, Kai Qiu, Zhigang Song, Shugeng Wu, Guanghai Qi, Haijun Zhang

“…This experiment was conducted to evaluate the chemical composition, apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acid (AA) in 10 different sources of soybean meal (SBM) fed to the pullets and established prediction equations based on the chemical composition of SBM. 792 Hy Line Brown hens aged 12-15 weeks were divided into 11 diet groups, the diets included one nitrogen-free diet (NFD) used to measure the basal endogenous losses of AA and 10 SBM test diets containing 35.2 % SBM as the sole source of AA. The 0.5 % titanium dioxide (TiO2) was used as an indigestible marker. …”
