Improving Meat Quality and Lipid Metabolism of Finishing Pigs by Replacing Dietary Soybean Meal with Enzyme-Bacteria Co-Fermented Rapeseed Meal.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the effects of enzyme-bacteria co-fermented rapeseed meal (FRSM) on the growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, meat quality, and lipid metabolism of finishing pigs. A total of twenty-eight Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire finishing pigs (4 months of age; initial body weight: 60.92 ± 1.08 kg) were randomly allotted to one of four dietary treatments for a 45-day feeding trial, consisting of corn-soybean meal diet (CSD) and three experimental diets in which 50, 75 and 100% of soybean meal in the corn-soybean diet was replaced with FRSM. Results showed that replacing soybean meal with FRSM had no negative effects on the growth performance of finishing pigs, maintaining average daily gain and feed efficiency (p > 0.05). Compared with the CSD group,
