Extract

Maize gluten feed is a by-product available as an alternative ingredient in pig rations. This trial examined the effects of different inclusion levels of the product to determine the quantity which could be fed without detrimental effects.

Diets containing 0, 10, 20 or 30% of maize gluten feed were formulated to have similar levels of digestible energy (12.9 MJ/kg) and lysine (0.9%).
