Extract

Young pigs kept intensively, are very sensitive to the source of dietary protein (Maxwell et al., 2003). Many dietary proteins produce allergic reactions in which diarrhoea, reduced growth, and increased mortality can occur (Bimbo and Crowther, 1992). Various protein sources have been tested in early-weaned pig diets in an attempt to overcome these problems and to decrease diet cost. Fish meal analog (FMA), (a product of Mid-South Milling Co., Memphis, TN) based on animal proteins has been reported to have a composition very similar to fish meal, thereby possessing excellent protein and AA source for young pigs (Maxwell et al., 2003). It is less expensive and more readily available. This may therefore provide a high quality protein and AA source for use in starter pig diets at costs lower than those associated with fish meal. This study was therefore conducted to determine the potential of FMA as a replacement for 72% crude protein-imported fish meal (IFM) in diets of starter pigs.
