Pig diets containing significant levels of rapeseed meal and wheat dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) can support growth performance compared to soya based diets of similar nutrient specification. This means they have the potential to displace soya in the future.
相比起添加豆粕， 在豬飼料中添加一定量的菜粕和幹酒糟及其可溶物可以提高豬的生長性能， 這意味著它們未來更有可能代替豆粕成為主要的飼料成分。
That was one of the conclusions of research conducted by the ECO FCE, which is an EU FP7 funded project focusing on improving the feed use efficiency and reducing the ecological footprint of pigs and broiler chickens.
這個研究項目由歐盟資助ECO FCE完成， 這是一個專注於提升飼料使用效率並減少生豬和肉雞生態佔用率的機構。
Enzymes and phytogenics tested
酶和植物學測試
While the project has only recently been finished, ECO FCE focused on the impact of nutrition, gut structure and microbiota profile as well as the genomics of the animal to gain a better understanding of the interplay between these key factors in driving feed use efficiency.
在這個才剛剛起步的研究項目中， ECO FCE關注動物的營養、腸道結構、微生物狀況和基因等因素的相互作用來評判飼料使用效率。
Deputy co-ordinator of ECO FCE, Dr Elizabeth Magowan, Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute (AFBI), in Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK, said that dietary formulations aim to make use of raw materials, additives and processes to deliver the required levels of nutrients, in the most available form for absorption by the gut, at least cost.
ECO FCE的負責人， 來自農業食品和生物科學機構(AFBI)的伊莉莎白瑪格萬博士說， 研究這一飲食配方的目的是在最可行的狀態下用最少的成本， 讓原料和飼料添加劑來提供足夠的營養。
She said: “To this end we extensively examined the inclusion of enzymes and phytogenic feed additives across a broad spectrum of basal dietary ingredients. Furthermore, processes such as extrusion, soaking and liquid feeding were also examined.
她說：“我們為了這個目的深入檢驗了包含酶和植物添加劑的飼料。 此外， 顆粒飼料、浸濕飼料和液體飼料也在研究範圍之內。 ”
“Low soya diets were a key focus of this research, in keeping with a recognised desire to reduce soya usage across the EU. A combination of rapeseed meal and wheat dried distillers grains with soluble represented the key sources of protein in these low soya diets.”
“因為減少大豆使用是整個歐盟的共識，
