Whole soybean processed with different forms for use in diets of growing-finishing swine

[摘要] An experiment was conducted with the objective to evaluate the type of whole soybean processing to be used in the feeding of growing-finishing swine. Sixty pigs, gilts and barrows, with initial average weight of 24.96 kg and age of 70 days, were distributed to a complete randomized block design, with five treatments, each one with 12 replicates, and six per each sex. The experimental unit was composed by one animal in an individual box. Experimental diets were isonutritious and based on corn and soybean meal and 8% of soybean, in accordance with the type of soybean processing. Five dietes were evaluated: soybean 1 - diet with 8% of soybean inactivated in reactor by steaming and pressure; soja 2 - diet with 8% soybean inactivated by heat generated by dielectric losses, after water spraying and following through a microwave chamber; soybean 3 - Similar to soybean 1, but with soybean inactivated by a reactor of other manufacturer; soybean 4 - Diet with dry extruded soybean, in way that the grain were propelling through jet cannon containing helicoids and cones displaced to generated heat via attrition and pressure; soybean 5 - Diet with soybean in dry extrusion process followed by partial oil extraction via press expeller. The performance, the characteristics of carcass and the economic income of the processing were evaluated. There were no differences on pig performance among treatments but carcass traits and economic income were better for soybean in dry extrusion process followed by partial oil extraction via press expeller.
