176 Whole-grain fiber composition modifies phosphorus digestibility in grower pigs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Increased fermentable carbohydrates in cereal grains due to more amylose in starch or β-glucan in fiber may increase endogenous losses including for P, and thereby reduce apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of P. This study assessed effects of barley cultivars varying in chemical composition on apparent ileal digestibility (AID) and ATTD of P and Ca, and standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P compared with wheat. In a 6 (period) × 5 (diet) Youden square, 7 ileal-cannulated barrows (27.7 kg initial BW) were fed diets containing 80% of 1 of 5 grains differing in amylose, β-glucan, and fiber: 1) high-fermentable, high-β-glucan, hull-less barley (HFB); 2) high-fermentable, high-amylose, hull-less barley (HFA); 3) moderate-fermentable, hull-less barley (MFB); 4) low-fermentable, hulled barley (LFB); and 5) low-fermentable, hard red spring wheat (LFW). Diet STTD of P was calculated by correcting ATTD for the basal endogenous P loss using a constant value of 190 mg P/kg DM intake. Whole grains contained between 8.5 to 16.3 µmol/g DM phytate (any salt of myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakis (dihydrogen phosphate); InsP6) and 1.6 to 3.0 g/kg DM InsP6-P. Data were analyzed using a mixed model with diet as fixed effect, and pig and period as random effects. On DM basis (g/kg), diets contained 131 to 286 g neutral detergent fiber, 8.8 to 85.4 g β-glucan, and 8.1 to 8.9 g total P. The MFB, LFB, and LFW had greater (P < 0.001) AID of P than HFB and HFA, and MFB had greater (P < 0.05) ATTD or STTD of P than HFB. The LFW had greater (P < 0.05) ATTD of Ca than LFB, whereas diet did not affect (P > 0.05) AID of Ca. In conclusion, whole grains high in fermentable fiber, e.g. β-glucans, in specific hull-less and hulled barley cultivars decreased diet digestibility of P and Ca.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
