Protein challenges for piglets
Research has been done with protease in piglets as well. While most proteins in SBM are easily digested in older pigs, newly weaned pigs lack endogenous protease activity and therefore some proteins are especially difficult for them to digest. Piglets are also very sensitive to excess protein fermentation in the intestine.
The challenge for nutritionists is that piglets have high requirements for digestible proteins to promote early growth and muscle deposition. However, as mentioned earlier, high protein diets pose a lot of problems with pathogenic bacteria causing scours, intestinal disorders and morbidity. While common practice is to lower the protein level in feed to reduce health problems, it’s at the expense of growth and performance. SBM also contains the allergenic proteins glycinin and ß-conglycinin, which cause intestinal inflammation and lead to villus atrophy, disruption of gut barrier functions and loss of appetite. Low feed intake in piglets is very dangerous and leads to overall low performance.
