An experiment was conducted with 64 weaned pigs (24 kg) to evaluate the
\neffect of different fibre sources on N excretion and the fermentation
\nmetabolites produced in the gastrointestinal tract. The diets were balanced in
\nenergy and amino acids with soy protein isolate, pea starch, sucrose and a
\npremix and supplemented with wheat bran, cellulose, peas, pea hulls, pea
\ninner fibre, sugar beet pulp, flaxseed meal (FSM) or corn DDGS, as fibre
\nsources. Fecal samples were collected for 3 consecutive days from d10 and
\npigs were slaughtered on d16. Digesta from ileum and colon were collected
\nand analyzed for their short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and ammonia content.
\nWhen wheat bran was the reference ingredient, the total tract N digestibility
\nwas lower with FSM and DDGS (72 and 74% respectively) and higher in pea
\nhulls (81%) and pea inner fibre (79%). This, in turn affected the amount of
\nfaecal N excreted, the latter being higher with FSM and DDGS (280 and 262
\ng\/kg N intake respectively). The pea- and pea hull-based diets had higher
\nSCFA at the ileum level, while no difference in SCFA concentration was observed among diets in the
\ncolon. Higher ammonia concentration was also found in the colon of pigs fed
\nwith peas, pea hulls, FSM and DDGS, which might adversely affect the pig\u2019s
