Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
In nursery pigs, enzyme supplementation generally had no effect on ADG or F/G, but a trend occurred for greater digestibility of DM in pigs fed enzymes. However, one notable interaction occurred. Enzyme supplementation gave improved F/G at the coarser (l,300 mm) particle size but not at the finer (600 or 400 mm) particle sizes. In finishing pigs, trends for better F/G and digestibilities of DM and N with enzyme supplementation occurred in one experiment (1,300 vs 600 mm) but not in the other experiment (600 vs 400). Thus, the effects of enzyme supplementation were neither large nor consistent, but wheat …

Effects Of Poultry Fat And Choice White Grease On Pork Longissimus Muscle, Belly, And Bacon Quality (1998), J J. Engel, J W. Smith Ii, Robert D. Goodband, John A. Unruh, Michael D. Tokach, Jim L. Nelssen
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Eighty-four crossbred gilts were used to examine the effects of increasing dietary additions of poultry fat (PF) or choice white grease (CWG) on longissimus muscle (LM), belly, and bacon quality. Pigs fed PF had greater LM cooking loss values than those fed CWG. As PF increased in the diet, LM Minolta L* and belly lean values decreased. then increased. Neither fat source nor level significantly affected other LM quality or sensory traits. As PF increased, bacon slicing score decreased. Although all taste panel scores were well within acceptable ranges, bacon from pigs fed PF had higher sensory panel "off flavor" …

Some swine practitioners are advocating the use of dietary acidifiers to reduce urine pH and, thereby, reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections. In our experiment, sows fed an inorganic (phosphoric) acid had lower urine pH than sows fed diets with organic (fumaric, lactic, formic, propionic, and citric) acids. Indeed, the organic acids at 1.5% and 3.0% of the diet increased blood pH and decreased pC02,indicating that these sows were in a more alkalotic (not acidotic) state.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998
Effects Of Conditioners (Standard, Long Term, And Expander) On Pellet Quality And Growth Performance In Nursery Pigs (1998), S L. Johnston, Robert H. Hines, C A. Maloney, S L. Traylor, S P. Sorrell, Joe D. Hancock, Keith C. Behnke

In our first experiment, digestibilities for DM, N, and GE were greater and F/G was better for pigs fed pelleted diets than for pigs fed meal diets. However, we observed no advantages in ADG or F/G with long-term conditioning. In a second experiment, pelleting once again improved nutrient digestibility and F/G. Expander conditioning improved digestibilities of DM, N, and GE but not growth performance compared to standard conditioning.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three hundred arid fifty three lactating sows were used to determine the effects of increased dietary lysine on sow and litter performance. At farrowing, sows were assigned to com-soybean meal lactation diets consisting of either 1.0 or 1.3% total lysine. A treatment by parity interaction was observed, with first parity sows fed 1.3% lysine having heavier litter weaning weights than sows fed 1.00/0 lysine. Surprisingly, third and fourth parity sows fed 1.3% lysine had lower litter weaning weights than those fed 1.0% lysine. No other treatment by parity interactions existed. No differences were observed in the number of pigs weaned …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of480 pigs was used in an experiment conducted in a commercial research facility to determine the influence of fat additions to the growing-finishing diet on pig performance and carcass composition. Adding fat to the diet from 80 to 265 lb increased ADG and FIG by 1 and 2%, respectively, for each 1%added fat. The growth response was greatest during the initial phase of the trial (80 to 130 lb) and declined as the trial progressed. The feed efficiency response was consistent throughout the trial. After adjusting for the greater carcass weight of pigs consuming the high fat diets, …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
As expected, ADG, ADFI, F/G, and digestibility of DM and N were improved in nursery pigs when cone pressure was increased during dry and moist expanding of whole soybeans. These response were quadratic for the most part, such that 1,000 psi was optimal with dry expanding and 700 to 800 psi was optimal with moist expanding.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Effects Of Level Of Modified Tall Oil On Finishing Pig Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics (1998), P R. O'Quinn, J C. Woodworth, Jim L. Nelssen, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, John A. Unruh
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A growth trial was conducted to evaluate effects of increasing levels of modified tall oil (MTO) on growth performance and carcass composition of finishing barrows. No effect of treatment was observed for ADG, ADFI, or feed efficiency (F/G) during any of the growth periods. However, pigs fed increasing MTO had less backfat, larger longissimus muscle area, and increased percentage muscle than control pigs not fed MTO. Additionally, carcasses from pigs fed MTO had decreased drip loss. The results of this trial indicate that although MTO has no impact on growth performance in barrows, it can improve carcass leanness. The optimal …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Soil phosphorus levels have increased as swine production has become concentrated. Phosphorus-based manure management regulations for land application have been proposed by policy makers. The objective of this research was to determine benefits/costs of adopting phytase for reducing phosphorus. Results were derived using different manure storage and application systems. Although phytase was a least-cost ingredient, it became profitable when producers were constrained by land. Land requirements were 2 to 5 times greater under a phosphorus application regulation than a nitrogen application regulation.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 360 pigs (initially 11.5 lb and 16 d of age) was fed a negative control diet containing no added Zn; one of six diets containing 165 ppm Zn from zinc oxide from the trace mineral premix and added AvailaZn (0, 100,200, 300,400, or 500 ppm of Zn); or a positive control diet containing 3,165 ppm added Zn from zinc oxide. Pigs fed the positive control diet had higher (P<.02)ADG and ADFI compared to pigs in all other treatments for the duration of the trial. Pigs fed diets containing Availazn had numerically higher ADG and ADFI than pigs fed diets containing no added Zn for the entire trial. These results are similar to previous research showing maximum growth performance exhibited by pigs fed high levels (3,000 ppm) of Zn from zinc oxide.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Supplementing finishing pigs genetically predisposed to lipid deposition with atocopheryl acetate above 12 IU/lb of feed for as long as 70 d did not improve color stability of fresh and cured pork. Tissue a-tocopherol levels were similar across dietary treatments and higher than predicted. Muscle accumulation of a-tocopherol may be related to the rate and extent of lipid deposition in muscle. Also, chill temperature and carcass chill rate variability, under spray chill conditions, did not influence fresh pork color stability when carcasses with excessive amounts of external fat were utilized.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three hundred and sixty early-weaned barrows were fed diets containing increasing levels of added Zn from zinc oxide (0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,600, 2,400, and 3,200 ppm). From d 11 to 21, growth performance improved with up to 100 ppm of added Zn but was not improved further until pigs were fed 3,200 ppm of added Zn. From d 21 to 36, pigs fed 100 ppm of Zn had the best growth performance. These results suggest that a pig's basal Zn requirement is met with 100 ppm of added Zn from zinc oxide, but adding 3,200 ppm Zn …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Seventy two early-weaned pigs (initially 12.4 lb) were used in a 14-d growth trial to evaluate a control diet (no added spray-dried egg albumin or animal plasma) or the control diet with 5% spray-dried plasma, 7% spraydried egg albumin~ or 2.5% spray-dried plasma plus 3.5% spray-dried egg albumin. Pigs fed 5% spray-dried animal plasma had greater ADG and improved F/G compared with those fed 7% spray-dried egg albumin, whereas pigs fed the control or a blend of spray-dried egg albumin plus spray-dried animal plasma had intermediate performance. These results suggest that the spray-dried egg albumin used is not an effective …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Supplementing medium-lean genotype pigs with supranutritional concentrations of dietary vitamin E (91 IU d-a-tocopheryl acetate/lb of feed) for as long as 70 d during the finishing phase was not effective in improving swine performance, feeding characteristics, and 24 h loin muscle quality. However, lower carcass temperatures obtained by spray chilling pork sides at O°C versus 4.4°C had a beneficial effect on 24 h carcass quality by improving marbling and lean firmness scores and reducing loin muscle moisture exudate. Overall, 24 h pork carcass quality was impacted more by chill rate than dietary vitamin E supplementation.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We conducted three experiments to evaluate the influence of an algal feed additive, Spirulina platensis, on weanling pig performance. Two experiments conducted under commercial production conditions indicated a response to Spirulina platensis in meal-based diets but not pelleted diets. Another experiment concluded that Spirulina platensis tended to improve F/G early in the trial but not for cumulative performance. Results of these three experiments suggest that Spirulina platensis added at low inclusions to the diet may enhance performance. However, the results lacked consistency across experiments and warrant further investigation.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Effects Of Particle Size And Mixing Time On Uniformity And Segregation In Pig Diets (1998), N Amornthewaphat, Keith C. Behnke, Joe D. Hancock
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Diet uniformity, as represented by the coefficient of variation (CV), improved as mixing time was increased from 15 to 120 seconds and(or) com particle size was decreased from 1,200 to 400 ~m. Segregation occurred during free-fall, and the coarser particle sizes resulted in greater segregation than the finer particle sizes. Thus, reducing particle size of the cereal grain in swine diets not only improves efficiency of growth (as demonstrated in numerous KSU Swine Day Reports) but also decreases mix time needed for adequate blending and the likelihood of segregation during handling, storage, and delivery of diets to feeders.; Swine Day, …
