Soybean oil

Impact of soybean oil on net energy and nitrogen balance in group-housed pigs allowed ad libitum access to feed

Diets for pigs may vary in composition and in their concentration of the energy containing nutrients (i.e., protein, fat, starch and sugars, and dietary fiber). To our knowledge, however, there is no information on how concentration of net energy (NE) is affected by dietary fat concentrations in diets fed to group-housed pigs. Therefore, the objective of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that increased soybean oil in diets for group-housed growing pigs will increase NE and nitrogen balance.
