In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Aaron Gaines and Dr. Bart Borg explore the differences in soybean meal net energy and productive energy in commercial swine diets versus book values and how this improved understanding impacts formulation strategies for nutritionists and economic considerations. Listen and watch!
“In terms of energy value of soybean meal on a dry matter basis, 95% is fairly common, however, we're seeing some corporate movement where companies have tested this for themselves, and they're moving up to 100%-110% of corn on a dry matter basis.” Dr. Aaron Gaines, PhD, Ani-Tek, LLC
“For nutritionists, with all this new information coming in, I would encourage them to do the extra work of the cost optimization after the formulation, because that’s really where the rubber meets the road.” Dr. Bart Borg, PhD, Passel Farms
