Partial replacement of soybean meal with mixed plant proteins yields comparable growth and carcass quality in growing-finishing pigs by Wei Han Zhao, Wei Han Zhao, Joo Hyun Ha, Joo Hyun Ha, Sungbo Cho, Sungbo Cho, In Ho Kim, In Ho Kim

“…However, a decreasing ADG (p = 0.0837) and ADFI (p = 0.0779) were observed during weeks 0–5, while an increasing FCR was noted during weeks 10–15 (p = 0.0835) and the overall period. Furthermore, the replacement of soybean meal with mixed plant protein products (RSM-PKM-DDGS) showed no linear or quadratic effects on the digestibility of dry matter (DM), nitrogen (N), energy (E), fecal scores, or meat quality.ConclusionThis suggests that mixed plant protein products (RSM, PKM, and DDGS) can effectively replace soybean meal as the primary protein source, providing comparable outcomes while potentially reducing feed costs.…”
