Dried Fermentation Biomass

Apparent and standardized digestibility of phosphorus in Dried Fermentation Biomass, Peptone 50, PEP2+, and fish meal by weanling pigs

Dried Fermentation Biomass (Ajinomoto Heartland LLC, Chicago, IL) is a co-product of the commercial production of lysine. Peptone 50 and PEP2+ (TechMix LLC, Stewart MN) are co-products of heparin production for the human pharmaceutical industry. The latter two products are produced from hydrolyzed pig intestines that are co-dried with a vegetable protein (Peptone 50) or enzymatically processed vegetable proteins (PEP2+). These co-products are possible replacements for fish meal in weanling pig diets.

An experiment was conducted to measure the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) and standardized total tract digestibility (STTD)  of phosphorus in Dried Fermentation Biomass, Peptone 50, PEP2+, and fish meal fed to weanling pigs.

Digestibility of energy in Dried Fermentation Biomass, Peptone 50, PEP2+, and fish meal fed to weanling pigs

These co-products are possible replacements for fish meal in weanling pig diets.

An experiment was conducted to measure the digestibility of energy and the concentration of digestible (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) in Dried Fermentation Biomass, Peptone 50, PEP2+, and fish meal fed to weanling pigs.

Amino acid digestibility in Dried Fermentation Biomass, Peptone 50, and PEP2+ fed to weanling pigs

Dried Fermentation Biomass (Ajinomoto Heartland LLC) is a co-product of the commercial production of lysine. Peptone 50 and PEP2+ (TechMix LLC) are co-products of heparin production by the human pharmaceutical industry. The latter two are produced from hydrolyzed pig intestines co-dried with a vegetable protein (Peptone 50) or enzymatically processed vegetable proteins (PEP2+). These co-products are being investigated as possible cost-effective replacements for fish meal in weanling pig diets.

An experiment was performed to measure the apparent and standardized ileal digestibility of CP and amino acids by weanling pigs in Dried Fermentation Biomass, Peptone 50, and PEP2+, respectively, and to compare these values to digestibility values obtained in fish meal.
