Summary: The accurate estimation of the apparent metabolizable energy (AME) content of feed ingredients is crucial for poultry feed formulation. The current AME values of protein-source ingredients are determined using older broilers, ignoring the effects of broiler age. This study examined the effects of broiler age on the AMEn of soybean meal (SBM) and canola meal (CM), and found that age has a marked effect on the AMEn of these ingredients.

Summary: Replacing soybean meal and rapeseed meal with Faba bean meal in tilapia diets showed no significant impact on growth performance, but resulted in decreased muscle crude lipid content, increased protein efficiency ratio, and collagen content.

Summary: This study examined the effects of extruded soy-bean meal (ESBM) compared to canola meal (CM) on lactational performance and ruminal fermentation of dairy cows. The results showed that there were no significant differences in dry matter intake, milk yield, and feed efficiency between the two diets.

Summary: The study suggests that heat processing can increase the digestibility of phosphorus in soybean expeller, canola meal, and canola expeller fed to growing pigs. Additionally, heat treatment also improved the digestibility of calcium in these protein sources.

Summary: This study evaluated the potential of crambe meal as a plant protein source in fish diets. Results showed that crambe meal has good digestibility of protein and amino acids for Nile tilapia. However, anti-nutritional factors present in untreated crambe meal interfere with the growth and nutrient utilization of fish.

Summary: The study found that replacing soybean meal with fermented palm kernel meal as a protein source had positive effects on sex-reversed red tilapia, with the 50% replacement level showing the best results. Solid-state fermentation improved the nutritional values of palm kernel meal, leading to a low-cost diet option for tilapia farming.

Summary: An 85-day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of soybean meal on growth, feed utilization, antioxidants, and immune response of tilapia. Results showed that high inclusion of soybean meal reduced the crude ash content, red blood cell count, lipase, and glutathione peroxidase activities of tilapia. However, supplementation of tryptophan in the diet alleviated these negative effects and improved the weight gain rate, specific growth rate, phagocytosis index, and enzyme activities of the fish. This study provides valuable insights for the application of soybean meal in tilapia feed.

Summary: This study determined the true ileal Ca digestibility coefficients of SBM and CM for broilers and confirmed the influence of broiler age on Ca digestibility. Superdosing of phytase increased the digestibility and ATTR of Ca in CM and SBM by two-fold.

Summary: The research showed that using canola meal instead of soybean meal as a protein supplement for lactating dairy cows can reduce the greenhouse gas emission intensity of milk production. Factors such as protein source, location of production, and the methane-mitigating effect of canola meal all play a role in influencing the greenhouse gas intensity of milk.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of replacing soybean meal with yellow mealworm meal at different proportions on the flesh quality of Nile tilapia. The results showed that when the replacement ratio reached 30% and 45%, the muscle protein and lipid content significantly decreased. The hardness, gumminess, and proportion of thin myofibers in the fillets also increased in the 45% replacement group.

Summary: The study demonstrated that increasing levels of poultry by-product meal in the diets negatively affected growth, feed efficiency, and biochemical composition in juvenile pompano. Supplementing with tuna hydrolysates did not improve these negative effects. Furthermore, histopathological alterations were observed in the liver of fish fed with certain diets.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of three fungal strains on the nutritional value of canola meal and soybean meal. The results showed that Trichoderma reesei was the most effective strain for improving the amino acid content and digestibility of canola meal.

Summary: A 45-day experiment was conducted to investigate the complementary effect of maggot meal in a fishmeal-free soybean meal-based diet on the production performance of hybrid African catfish. The results showed that supplementation with 14% and 21% maggot meal improved the final body weight, weight gain, specific growth rate, and daily growth index. In addition, the 21% maggot meal supplementation enhanced the immune physiological indices and antioxidant capacity without detrimental effects on certain blood parameters. These findings support the use of maggot meal as a complementary ingredient in soybean meal diets for the culture of hybrid African catfish.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate whether xylanase can alleviate the adverse effects on the gut barrier induced by soybean meal in Nile tilapia and to explore the possible mechanism. The results showed that dietary xylanase improved intestinal morphology and decreased the concentration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in serum by inhibiting the perk/atf4 signaling pathway and up-regulating the expression of mucin2 (MUC2), which enhanced the gut barrier function of Nile tilapia.

Summary: Steam-explosion processing of canola meal can improve its nutrient availability by disrupting its fibre matrix and reducing anti-nutritional factors. However, it also decreases the digestibility of dry matter, crude protein, and amino acids in the meal, as well as the overall digestibility and growth performance of pigs. On the other hand, it can increase the pigs' feed intake.
