Seventy piglets with no access to creep feed were weaned at 28 d of age and fed on one of four diets based on either skimmed-milk powder (SMP), soya-bean-protein concentrate (SPC), soya-bean meal (SBM) or fish meal (FM). At 0, 3, 6 and 10 d after weaning, piglets were killed and the pancreas and digesta from stomach and small intestine were collected, freeze-dried and analysed for dry matter (D...

GOVERNMENT restrictions forbidding the use of soybean flour in sausage or other meat used in interstate commerce is based on the lack of a reliable test for the quantitative determination of soy-bean protein in such meat. The nutritional value of soy-bean is not questioned. At the present time no strictly chemical method of assay has proven reliable. We have recently obtained accurate quantitat...

BACKGROUND To reduce use of main feed ingredient like corn, soy bean meal (SBM) and wheat, alternative ingredients has been studied like copra meal (CM). Production amount of CM which has been high makes CM to be an alternative feed stuff. However, low digestibility on AA and low energy content by high fiber content can be an obstacle for using CM. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the ...

OBJECTIVE In a sample of older Japanese American women, we aimed to: (1) describe the most commonly consumed soy foods, (2) estimate dietary soy isoflavone intake, (3) describe characteristics associated with dietary soy isoflavone intake, and (4) compare our estimates with previously published estimates in other Japanese samples. DESIGN A 14-item soy food-frequency questionnaire was administ...

A total of 2,260 pigs (PIC TR4 × [Fast LW PIC L02]; initially 14.8 lb) were used to evaluate a specialty soy protein source as an alternative poultry meal and spray-dried blood plasma on nursery pig performance in commercial environment. At weaning, allotted 1 5 dietary treatments based initial weight two research nurseries. In the first facility there 20 per pen 10 pens treatment. second facil...

Human clinical trials targeted at preventing gains in body weight using soy protein and isoflavones are limited to adults and yield conflicting results. We hypothesized that daily intake of soy protein/isoflavones would attenuate gains in body weight to a greater extent than a casein-based control in 18 to 19 year-old females. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a randomized, double blind, pl...
