Abstract

Expander processing improved nutrient digestibility in diets with soybean meal and raw soybeans. Furthermore, with 600 psi cone pressure (20 k Wh/tonon ofspecific energy input), the diets with raw soybeans had equal or greater digestibility of nutrients compared to the soybean meal-based control diet.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998
