SACCHARINE AMINO ACID ADDITIVE OUT OF WHEAT IN PIG DIETS

Abstract

At the present time many pig-breeding farms of the region implement the making of adequate combined feeds based on self-produced grain crops. To improve protein concentration and amino acid balance in feeds of the kind an experimental additive out of wheat is offered as an alternative to typical additives of animal origin or to synthetic amino acids. The novel saccharine amino acid additive obtained with the method of enzymatic hydrolysis through ground wheat proteolytic enzymes and followed by releasing the hydrolyzate liquid constituent via centrifugation. The enzymes introduced into the additive are inactivated with the method of pasteurizing the additive. Prior the feeding, the additive is cooled to technologically regulated temperature. Moisture of a ready-made additive is 82 %, protein content recalculated to dry matter is 59 %, sugar content - 36 %. The experimental saccharine amino acid additive is readily consumed by sucking piglets and digested without any aftereffect or diarrhea. The experimental additive of wheat introduced into the piglet diet at their early age and in the amount of 7 % of diet dry matter facilitates a statistically true 19.5 % increase in piglet growth rate.
