Effects of amino resin-treated and heat-treated soybean meal on ruminal fermentation, nutrient digestion, and nitrogen partitioning in continuous culture

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of amino resin-treated soybean meal (SBM) on ruminal fermentation, nutrient digestion, and N partitioning. Treatments were: (1) untreated solvent-extracted SBM, (2) amino resin-treated SBM (AR-SBM), and (3) heat- treated SBM (HT-SBM). The experimental design was arranged as a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square with 6 fermen- ters in a dual-flow continuous culture system. Treatments were randomly assigned to fermenters within a Latin square for...
