Condensed Fermented Corn Solubles with Germ Meal and Bran (DSLC) as a Nutrient Source for Swine. II. Amino Acid Substitution

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Urbana 61801²

Abstract

Three experiments involving 200 pigs were designed to determine the value of corn solubles with germ meal and bran (DSLC) as an amino acid source when substituted for part of the corn and soybean meal. In each of these studies, diets were formulated to meet the lysine requirement, based on the initial weight of the pigs.

For young pigs DSLC was substituted to provide up to 30% of the total lysine in the diet. Performance at the highest level was equal to that of the pigs fed the corn-soybean meal diet. For finishing pigs DSLC was substituted to provide up to 36% of the total dietary lysine. As with the young pig, the performance of finishing pigs fed diets with the upper level of DSLC was similar to that of pigs fed the corn-soybean meal diet. DSLC can be considered an effective amino acid supplement for cereal grains when used at levels tested in these studies.
