Summary: The German Society of Nutrition Physiology has proposed a new protein evaluation system for horse feeds. The system estimates pre-cecally digestible crude protein and amino acids from chemical properties. The study evaluated 71 feeds and found that the estimated protein content was correlated with various factors.

Summary: NIRS is a rapid, cost-effective and environmentally friendly method for evaluating feedstuffs in pig diets. It can predict the concentrations of crude protein and amino acids with good precision and high coefficients of determination. The digestibility of protein and amino acids can also be predicted with acceptable accuracy, making it useful for formulating pig diets.

Summary: Phosphorus is a vital nutrient for animals, and the digestion and absorption of phosphorus from feed ingredients varies, resulting in different bioavailability for growing pigs. Evaluating the digestibility of phosphorus provides insights into the pig's phosphorus requirement and aids in diet formulation. Understanding this framework allows for the integration of factors such as environmental conditions and disease status in future phosphorus requirement models.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of 3-mannanase on metabolizable energy and apparent total tract digestibility of protein in various feedstuffs. The results showed that supplementation of 3-mannanase improved the metabolizable energy and protein digestibility in certain feedstuffs, but the efficacy was influenced by factors such as feed structure and composition.

Summary: The study demonstrated that the digestibility of Ca increased linearly and that of P increased both linearly and quadratically with increasing supplementation of phytase in late gestation and lactating sows. There was no significant effect of phytase on the digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, and gross energy, as well as on the performance of the sows and their offspring. The response to phytase supplementation may be greater in lactating sows compared to late gestation sows.

Summary: This study developed calibration models based on near-infrared spectroscopy to evaluate the chemical composition and digestibility of pig feedstuffs. The results showed that near-infrared spectroscopy can accurately estimate the nutritional value of pig feedstuffs and can be used to quickly and inexpensively assess pig feedstuffs in the future.

Summary: Phytase has been a common addition to poultry diets for over 20 years, showing benefits in growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and bone parameters. This study found that superdosing phytase in rapeseed meal and maize dried distiller grains with solubles diets can improve performance, increase digestibility, and reduce P excretion by 15% compared to birds without phytase.

Summary: Pulses are recognized as a sustainable and nutritious alternative protein source that can be converted into protein concentrates and isolates using various separation techniques. Incorporating pulse protein ingredients into different food systems can increase nutritional value and achieve desired functionality. Various modification methods can improve pulse protein ingredients at macro and micro levels for specific uses, aiming to enhance their quality and functionality.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
