Chickpeas as a Substitute for Corn and Soybean Meal in Growing Heifer Diets

TL;DR: Chickpeas were an acceptable replacement for corn and soybean meal in growing heifer diets and showed no trends between diets.

At least 3 days of adaptation are required before indigestible markers (chromium, titanium, and acid insoluble ash) are stabilized in the ileal digesta of 60-kg pigs, but values for amino acid digestibility are affected by the marker.

TL;DR: In conclusion, 3 d of adaptation is required before markers are stabilized in the ileal outflow if Cr or Ti is used as an indigestible marker and 4 d ofadaptation is required if AIA is the marker.
