Document Summary
Monogastrics and ruminants differ with digesting fiber content, aqc, uip and dip. As the energy is related to ns-cho and the amount of a/b polymers and lipids all in cell contents it is also related to ndf content as that would hinder cell contents. As a particular species, poultry should not be fed a protein supplement if it has high ndf content. They inhibit chymotrypsin and trypsin which affects protein digestion in the si. Heat inactivates the protein inhibitors and aqc & anf factors. In younger animals, the storage proteins can cause allergic reactions which affects nutrient absorption. Since sbm is low in met which is a very important aa for feathers, poultry should be fed sbm, also contains short chain polysaccharides which poultry cannot handle. Swine (and other monogastrics), sbm is the best plant protein source that can be fed although it needs to be processed as it is high in phytates.
