cases these classifications seemed ambiguous for some of the samples collected As a result it is important for nutritionists to communicate their expectations for nutrient composition with feed ingredient suppliers followed by subsequent chemical analysis to ensure accurate diet formulation when using specific animal protein meal sources While several recently published studies have determined the digestibility of energy and amino acids of several animal protein meals the number of meals and sources evaluated were relatively limited within each of these studies Therefore from the data set of 220 samples collected in this study a wide range in product classifications was selected to subsequently determine energy and amino acid digestibility Overall the digestibility of energy and amino acids were comparable to values reported in other published research studies with current studies providing additional 14 Fall 2019 www walinga com data for several animal protein meals that have not been extensively evaluated but may be considered for use in swine feed formulations In addition data presented provides information on the variability in energy and amino acid digestibility which is critical for determining appropriate safety margins when using these meals in feed formulation Results from these studies along with data reported in previous publications provide vital information to understand the variation and nutritional value of animal protein meals These results confirm that animal protein meals are an excellent source of energy amino acids and minerals which can be nutritionally and economically important feedstuffs for use in swine feed formulations The entire article is available in the February 2019 issue of Render magazine at www rendermagazine com Walinga Deliveries Who Bachoco MX Where Guanajuato Mexico When June 2019 What Walinga ultra lite rear unload auger feed trailer with manual crank handle gates and air operated bin vibrators individual compartment lids pintle hook to tow A frame pup trailer spare tire rack and under mount toolbox
