Abstract:
A total of 360 pigs were used in two
experiments to determine the effects of
decreasing particle size of soybean meal on
nursery pig performance. In Exp. 1, pigs
were fed diets containing 34% extrudedexpelled soybean meal ground to 965, 742, or 639 microns. In Exp. 2, pigs were fed the same diet containing solvent extracted soybean meal ground to 1226, 797, or 444 microns. Decreasing soybean meal particle size did not influence pig growth performance in either study.
