In Exp. 1, 18 Landrace \u00d7 Yorkshire (L \u00d7 Y) barrows with an initial body weight (IBW) of 25.48 \u00b1 3.21 kg were randomly assigned to three treatments, including a corn-based diet, one-year-stored brown rice (BR1) diet, and six-year-stored brown rice (BR6) diet, to determine the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) values of stored brown rice. In Exp. 2, 24 barrows (L \u00d7 Y; IBW: 22.16 \u00b1 2.42 kg) fixed with ileal T-cannula were randomly allotted to four dietary treatments, including a corn diet, two stored brown rice diets, and a nitrogen-free diet, to evaluate the amino acid (AA) digestibility of the stored brown rice. In Exp. 3 and 4, 108 crossbred weaned piglets (L \u00d7 Y; IBW: 9.16 \u00b1 0.89 kg) and 90 crossbred growing pigs (L \u00d7 Y; IBW: 48.28 \u00b1 3.51 kg) were allotted to three treatment diets, including a control diet and two stored brown rice diets, respectively, to investigate the application of stored brown rice in weaned piglets and fully grown pig diets. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in the DE and ME values between corn and stored brown rice (p &gt; 0.05), while the apparent ileal digestibility (AID) of arginine, histidine, asparagine + aspartic acid (Asx), and the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of arginine and histidine were higher in the stored brown rice diet compared to the corn diet (p &lt; 0.05). Compared to the corn, the stored brown rice showed no significant effects on growth performance, nutrient-apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD), and serum biochemical indices (p &gt; 0.05) but showed decreased activity in the various digestive enzymes in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of the weaned piglets (p &lt; 0.05). Also, the stored brown rice diet showed no significant effects on growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, as well as the fatty acid profiles in the longissimus dorsi muscle of fully grown pigs compared with the corn diet (p &gt; 0.05). In conclusion, the brown rice stored for 6 years under good conditions had no obvious changes in the available energy and nutrient values. Although it may reduce digestive enzyme activity in the small intestines of the piglets, the stored brown rice showed no obvious adverse effects on growth performance and meat quality and can be effectively used in pig diets.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani13213381","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]],"date-time":"2023-10-31T12:48:31Z","timestamp":1698756511000},"page":"3381","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Evaluation of the Available Energy Value and Amino Acid Digestibility of Brown Rice Stored for 6 Years and Its Application in Pig Diets"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9576-9493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beibei","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Grain Quality and Nutrition, Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, Beijing 100037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Grain Quality and Nutrition, Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, Beijing 100037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kuanbo","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Grain Quality and Nutrition, Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, Beijing 100037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junlin","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Grain Quality and Nutrition, Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, Beijing 100037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weiwei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Grain Quality and Nutrition, Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, Beijing 100037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yongwei","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Grain Quality and Nutrition, Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, Beijing 100037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aike","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Grain Quality and Nutrition, Academy of National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration, Beijing 100037, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Niu, Y.N., Xie, G.D., Xiao, Y., Liu, J.Y., Wang, Y.Y., Luo, Q., Zou, H.X., Gan, S.G., Qin, K.Y., and Huang, M.D. (2021).
