Condensed Fermented Corn Solubles with Germ Meal and Bran (DSLC) as a Nutrient Source for Swine. III. Metabolizable Energy Content¹

University of Illinois^,5, Urbana-Champaign 61801

Abstract

The apparent metabolizable energy (ME) content of condensed fermented corn solubles with germ meal and bran (DSLC) was determined in a series of trials with growing pigs and gravid and nongravid female swine. DSLC was substituted for 10 or 20% of a fortified corn-soybean meal basal diet.

Estimated ME corrected for nitrogen balance was 3.79 kcal/g dry matter. Metabolizable energy as determined using gravid females tended to be higher than that found in growing pigs or nongravid females. Nitrogen retention was depressed with each increment of dietary DSLC. Concomitant increases occurred in urinary and fecal nitrogen levels suggesting both poor amino acid pattern and protein digestibility.
