“…Overall, the performance in this trial was similar to two previous studies using the same control group and feeding technology for studies on sainfoin (Baldinger et al 2016a) and grass pea (Baldinger et al 2016b) as a home-grown source of protein for weaner pigs. Mean daily weight gain in the sainfoin study was in the range of 292 to 395 g day −1 and of 403 to 412 g day −1 in the grasspea study.…”

Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) contain antinutritive compounds that can reduce digestibility and palatability. Germination has been reported to reduce some of those components. The effect of including germinated faba beans in their feed was tested on 160 weaner pigs that were assigned to one of four diets containing either 19% peas (RP19), 16% raw faba beans (RFB16), 16% germinated faba beans (GFB16) or 24% germinated faba beans (GFB24). Crude protein was slightly higher in germinated as compared to raw beans. Most of the essential amino acids decreased due to germination, their contents relative to lysine remained the same. There were no significant differences in live weight on days 8, 15 and 22. At the end of the trial (day 29), live weight of GFB24 was significantly reduced when compared to RP19 and RFB16, but not to GFB16. In week 4, daily weight gain of GFB24 was significantly lower than of all other treatments. There were no significant differences in feed intake between the treatments. It was possible to feed germinated faba bean in amounts up to 240 g kg FM −1 without a reduction in feed intake or a higher incidence of diarrhoea, although live weight and daily weight gain were reduced. Under the circumstances of this study and considering the effort related to the process, germination cannot be recommended as a method to improve the nutritive value and acceptance of faba beans for feeding of weaner pigs.

A systematic review of the literature was carried out to perform a meta-analysis to assess effects of age at weaning on the performance of piglets in the range of 14 to 42 days old. This step consisted in defining the databases and keywords to be employed in searching for papers for the meta-analysis. To that end, the databases Capes Publication Portal and Google Scholar were searched for researches published from 2001 to 2019. After the acceptance and exclusion criteria had been defined and applied, 28 papers were selected. The data were collected with Excel® software of Microsoft Office for later statistical analysis. Orthogonal polynomial contrasts were used and the linear and quadratic regression equations were fitted with hypotheses tested at the 5% significance level. The results confirmed the disadvantages of early weaning and the benefits of weaning at around 28 days old. In the farrowing phase, piglets weaned after 35 days had lower daily weight gain (DWG) (P =0.002) than those weaned at 27 days. The derivative of the regression of DWG while nursing on age revealed that a weaning age of 26.34 days yielded the maximum DWG among the ages assessed. After weaning, the maximum DWG was achieved by weaning piglets at 32.26 days. Given the performance of piglets in the farrowing and nursery phases, the results of this meta-analysis indicated the best weaning age was between 26 and 32 days.

“…There are some anti-nutritive factor, such as trypsin inhibitor, in chick pea, therefore heat treatment requires before use in monogastric animals. It also contains a neurotoxic compound, β-Noxalyl-L-α, β-diamino-propionic acid, which also can be efficiently decompose by hydrothermal treatment (Baldinger et al, 2016).…”

Alternative protein sources in the nutrition of farm animals

Protein requirement and its demand of farm animals became one of the critical problems in nutrition on a global scale. Protein requirement has been an explicit demand for a long period with soybean meal and animal protein, but recently there are some limitations in relation to their use and the availability of the high quality fishmeal decreases constantly. For this reason there is increased demand for finding new protein sources which could be the alternatives of soybean meal and fishmeal. Alternative protein sources can be divided into seven categories, according to their origin. In different countries, their use depends on the availability in large quantity and at reasonable price. There is a long tradition of using legume seeds, as alternatives of soybean. Most of them contain some anti-nutritive compounds, but it can be reduced with systematic selection. Oilseed meals are also generally use in poultry and pig nutrition, but those crude protein content varied, depending on the oil extraction technology. Green fodder and leaf protein was also proposed as alternative protein sources, but their use is limited, in particular because of the market price. The amount of bioethanol and starch industry by-products increases gradually in recent years, therefore those became alternatives of soybean meal, or in much less extend, fishmeal. However, amino acid composition of such by-products are far from optimal for poultry and pig; therefore, in the case of their use amino acid supplementation is necessary. Several novel protein sources are proposed in the last decade, such as algae or insect proteins. Recently, their availability and use is limited, but in the near future those would be alternative protein sources in monogastric animal nutrition.
