Average daily gain was significantly lower with higher trypsin inhibitor concentrations, indicating performance issues.
Final body weight decreased by 9.32% in pigs fed the highest trypsin inhibitor level compared to the lowest.
Nitrogen digestibility decreased notably in pigs consuming high levels of trypsin inhibitors, emphasizing protein absorption challenges.
Overall diet formulation including soybeans showed clear declines in growth metrics and nutrient digestibility with increased antinutritional factors.
