From 26 to 36 days of age pigs fed SPC and SBM grew faster and had better FCR than pigs fed PPC (P<0.01) and FFSB. From 37 to 48 pigs fed SPC and SBM ate more feed than pigs fed FFSB with pigs fed PPC being intermediate (P<0.05). For the overall experiment pigs fed SPC and SBM tended (P<0.10) to have higher ADG and ADFI than pigs fed PPC and FFSB. Pigs fed SBM and SPC tended to have higher CTTAD of crude protein (P<0.10) and had higher CIAD of OM and GE (P<0.01) than pigs fed PPC and FFSB. The GIT was heavier for pigs fed PPC and FFSB than for pigs fed SBM with pigs fed SPC being intermediate (P<0.05).
It is concluded that raw pea protein concentrate and fullfat soybean inclusion in piglet diets in the diet reduces growth performance in pigs from 26 to 36 days of age and nutrient digestibility compared to soybean protein concentrate or regular soybean meal.
