I recently published a blog<\/a> that examined published data on growth performance of pigs when fed equal amounts dietary energy. I want to go one step further to analyze the cost\u00a0and\u00a0answer this question:<\/p>\n

Is supplying energy as soy oil economically justified when compared to energy supplied as finely-ground corn?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

This analysis used two extremes, 2 vs. 3.74% soy oil in the diet.\u00a0 In the 2% oil diet, the corn was ground to 339 micron particle size (very fine and provided more metabolizable energy); at 3.74%, the particle size of corn was 865 micron. Pigs were fed from 32-135 kg with unchanged body weight. \u00a0Feed intake was lower when the diet contained 3.74% soy oil, as shown below by the total amount of feed consumed to get to 135 kg body weight.<\/p>\n

\"dave<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Higher oil content created a benefit of 17 kg less feed consumed, but this does not tell the whole story.<\/p>\n

Various ingredients consumed show a different picture (see below) with more information.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"dave<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\n

In a 2% soy oil diet, the graph shows\u00a06 kg more soy oil was consumed in the 3.74% diet compared to a 2% diet. \u00a0These costs must be considered for comparison purposes.\u00a0 On the other hand, corn, solvent-extracted soybean meal (SBM), and other ingredients were consumed at lower amounts with the 3.74% soy oil diet \u2013 these are all savings associated with that diet.\u00a0 For example, nearly 19 fewer kg of corn was required in that diet because the percentage of corn is slightly lower in the higher oil diet and the pigs consumed less total feed.<\/p>\n

When we put in ingredient costs this picture (see below) emerges:<\/p>\n

\"dave<\/a><\/p>\n

The bar on the left is the extra costs of feeding more soy oil (about $4 per pig), the bar on the right is the savings of feeding less corn, solvent-SBM (about $3.32 per pig). The\u00a0savings with reduced feed intake makes up most of the increased costs of soy oil.<\/p>\n

Listed above this savings bar are other costs which makes the 2% soy oil diet (with finely-ground, 339 micron corn) more expensive.\u00a0 Fine grinding requires more energy and the hammers of a hammermill will wear out faster. \u00a0Without careful diet formulation, pigs can get ulcers with finely-ground corn.\u00a0 Most of these costs are not easily quantified, but are very real.<\/p>\n

As mentioned in a previous blog<\/a>, another approach is to use high-quality ingredients, such as extruded<\/a>, expelled<\/a> soy meal, which has valuable residual soy oil within the meal.\u00a0 This changes our analysis because extruded, expelled soy meal supports increased animal performance versus commodity, solvent-extracted soybean meal (see here<\/a> and here<\/a>).\u00a0 Remember in this analysis, body weights were the same at the beginning and the end \u2013 feed intake was lower.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, human demand for dietary animal protein may very well increase for decades to come<\/a>, and therefore, whole-system analyses like this will become increasingly important \u2013 if for nothing else, to identify gaps in critical knowledge.\u00a0 Please contact myself<\/a> about details in this blog post, or myself and Dr. Nabil Said<\/a> about optimizing your process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
