Abstract

As expected, ADG, ADFI, F/G, and digestibility of DM and N were improved in nursery pigs when cone pressure was increased during dry and moist expanding of whole soybeans. These response were quadratic for the most part, such that 1,000 psi was optimal with dry expanding and 700 to 800 psi was optimal with moist expanding.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998
