The DE and ME for corn used in this experiment are in accordance with the values reported by Baker and Stein (2009),
but the DE and ME for FFSB-CV were greater than previously published values (17.6 MJ/kg of DE and 16.5 MJ/kg of ME; NRC,
2012). The main reason for this observation is most likely that the FFSB used in this experiment were de-hulled; therefore, the
FFSB-CV used in this experiment contained more CP and fat than reported by NRC (1998; 2012). Therefore, the increased DE
and ME that were observed in this experiment compared with the DE and ME reported by NRC (1998; 2012) were expected.
Baker and Stein (2009) reported that extruded-expelled SBM produced from high protein soybeans had greater concentration
of DE compared with extruded-expelled SBM produced from low oligosaccharide or conventional varieties of soybeans.
A greater value for true metabolizable energy was also observed in high-protein SBM compared with low oligosaccharide
