Season 2 Episode 196

---

In this episode of The Swine Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Nelson Arias from the University of Illinois shares recent research on the nutritional consistency of extruded full-fat soybeans across different US regions. He explains how minimal variation in amino acids, energy, and phosphorus digestibility can simplify diet formulation. Listen now on all major platforms!

"We found that the differences in nutritional value and nutrient content of full-fat soybeans from various U.S. regions were minimal."

Meet the guest: Nelson Camilo Ruiz Arias is a research academic at the University of Illinois, holding a master’s degree in nutritional science. His recent studies evaluated the nutritional value of extruded full-fat soybeans from various US regions, analyzing amino acids, energy, and phosphorus digestibility.

There are only minor differences among soybeans grown in different areas of the United States in nutrient composition and digestibility of amino acids by growing pigs

The growing area within the United States has only minor impact on digestible and metabolizable energy, and standardized total tract digestibility of phosphorus in full-fat soybeans fed to growing pigs
