CANADA - The Plant Manager with the Canadian Feed Research Centre is confident the method developed for processing straw for use as a feed supplement for gestating sows can be scaled up to commercial levels in the event feeding trials show the product is of value, reports Bruce Cochrane.Scientists with the University of Saskatchewan, working on behalf of Swine Innovation Porc, are conducting feeding trials to assess the value of wheat straw and oat straw based feed supplements in increasing satiety among group housed gestating sows to reduce the incidence of fighting over feed while helping to avoid over conditioning.
布鲁斯·科克伦(Bruce Cochrane)写道，据加拿大饲料研究中心的生产经理称，他相信，秸秆饲料作为一种供妊娠母猪食用的饲料添加剂，其加工方法可以在饲养试验中扩大到商业水平，以此证明产品的价值。萨斯喀彻温大学的科学家们作为养猪创新组织的研究代表，正在进行饲养试验，评估基于小麦秸秆与燕麦杆的饲料添加剂在增加群居妊娠母猪饱腹感方面的价值，其目的是减少母猪争抢饲料的事件发生，并有助于母猪心理调节。
