Studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of overcooked soybean meals (SBM) on duck growth and amino acid availability. The SBM were custom-prepared at a commercial processing plant by changing the conditions of a desolventizer-toaster (DT) unit. Six progressively overcooked meals (designated SBM1 to 6 with SBM1 as normal and SBM6 overcooked) were produced by increasing temperature by up to 50% and extending retention time by up to 75% above normal. The meals measured .05, .03, .01, .09, .00, and .00 delta pH of urease activity; 6.10, 5.01, 4.62, 4.83, 2.32, and 1.78 mg/g SBM of trypsin inhibitor activity, 92, 89, 91, 88, 81, and 81% of protein solubility in .2% KOH; and 46, 43, 41, 40, 23, and 19% of protein solubility in .1 M borate at 40 C, respectively. Glucose content in the hydrolysate of the soluble carbohydrate extract did not differ among the meals, indicating no differences in the degradation of sucrose, raffinose, and stachyose with increasing heat treatment. In a chick growth experiment with a methionine-adequate, low protein diet, chicks fed SBM1 showed significantly greater weight gain than chicks fed SBM3, 5 or 6. The SBM1, 2, 5 and 6 were chosen for a study of amino acid availability. No differences were observed in ammo acid content. There were significant differences in apparent amino acid availability to growing chicks, but not in true amino acid availability by adult roosters among the four meals. The results suggest that the temperature or the retention time of a DT unit may be increased by 50% over the usual operating conditions without reducing amino acid availability from SBM.
