“…Therefore, swine rations are made up primarily of grains, along with protein supplements and other vitamins and minerals. Cereal grains make up to 50% to 85% of the ingredients in swine rations, which in turn provide much of the energy to the animal ( Myer and Brendemuhl, 2013 ). Corn grain is among the leading cereal used in the swine feed industry; which has a greater energy density than other cereal grains.…”

Feed is single most expensive input in commercial pork production representing more than 50% of the total cost of production. The greatest proportion of this cost is associated with the energy component, thus making energy the most important dietary in terms of cost. For efficient pork production, it is imperative that diets are formulated to accurately match dietary energy supply to requirements for maintenance and productive functions. To achieve this goal, it is critical that the energy value of feeds is precisely determined and that the energy system that best meets the energy needs of a pig is used. Therefore, the present review focuses on dietary supply and needs for pigs and the available energy systems for formulating swine diets with particular emphasis on the net energy system. In addition to providing a more accurate estimate of the energy available to the animal in an ingredient and the subsequent diet, diets formulated using the this system are typically lower in crude protein, which leads to additional benefits in terms of reduced nitrogen excretion and consequent environmental pollution. Furthermore, using the net energy system may reduce diet cost as it allows for increased use of feedstuffs containing fibre in place of feedstuffs containing starch. A brief review of the use of distiller dried grains with solubles in swine diets as an energy source is included.

“…The human-edible protein balance index was 1.02 for 2005 to 2007 for some countries that rely heavily on the feeding of co-products to livestock (the Netherlands) whereas it is 0.53 for countries that that rely heavily on the feeding of feed grains (U.S.), indicating that increased feeding of co-products may improve this index and therefore sustainability from a societal perspective (FAO, 2011). Indeed, while non-edible food residues contain nutrients (Westendorf et al, 1998), they may also contain viruses (Xiao et al, 2012) and bacteria, and their use in swine feeding should thus be tightly controlled or avoided to ensure food safety (Myer and Brendemuhl, 2001). With the feeding of co-products, increased fi ber enters the gastrointestinal tract and is partially fermented into methane.…”
