Effects Of Enzyme Supplementation And Particle Size Of Wheat-Based Diets On Nursery And Finishing Pigs (1998), I Mavromichalis, G A. Kennedy, Robert H. Hines, B W. Senne, S P. Sorrell, Joe D. Hancock, Joel M. Derouchey
Effects Of Enzyme Supplementation And Particle Size Of Wheat-Based Diets On Nursery And Finishing Pigs (1998), I Mavromichalis, G A. Kennedy, Robert H. Hines, B W. Senne, S P. Sorrell, Joe D. Hancock, Joel M. Derouchey
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" …
Grid Pricing Of Fed Cattle (1998), Ted C. Schroeder
Grid Pricing Of Fed Cattle (1998), Ted C. Schroeder
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Pricing fed cattle on a value-based quality and yield grade grid provides the best opportunity for cattle producers to receive premiums associated with high quality cattle. However, grid discounts for cattle not desired by the particular packer are often quite substantial. Thus, cattle producers targeting cattle for specific grids need to have considerable knowledge regarding the quality attributes of their cattle. This study compared pricing of 202 pens of fed cattle on a live basis, a carcass (dressed) basis, and using four different packer grids. Results indicate that no single pricing method is optimal for all cattle. Producers need to …
Characteristics Of Pelleted Wheat Middlings That Affect Summer Storage (1998), Carl R. Reed, Dionisia M. Trigo-Stockli, Dale A. Blasi, Fred J. Fairchild
Characteristics Of Pelleted Wheat Middlings That Affect Summer Storage (1998), Carl R. Reed, Dionisia M. Trigo-Stockli, Dale A. Blasi, Fred J. Fairchild
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Pelleted wheat middlings samples were collected from four Kansas flour mills in March, April, and May, 1997 to characterize their moisture content and bulk density as they would be purchased directly from the mills by a livestock producer. The average moisture content of pelleted wheat middlings was 14% as they left the mills but declined during the spring to 13.6%. Pellets purchased from Kansas mills during the summer months are likely to contain 13.0 to 13.5% moisture. The average bulk density was approximately 40 lb/ft3 , which is equivalent to about 50 lb/bu. Based on the equilibrium moisture contents determined …
Molasses-Fat Blend As An Energy Source And Conditioning Agent In Feedlot Diets (1998), A.S. Flake, Gerry L. Kuhl, James S. Drouillard
Molasses-Fat Blend As An Energy Source And Conditioning Agent In Feedlot Diets (1998), A.S. Flake, Gerry L. Kuhl, James S. Drouillard
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Seventy-two yearling crossbred steers were used in an individual feeding trial to evaluate the effects of adding a molasses-fat blend (Synergy® 19/14; Cargill Molasses Liquid Products) to diets at 6 or 12% (dry basis) on growth performance, carcass traits, and feed intake behavior. Dry-rolled corn was processed to a mean geometric particle size of either 2,000 or 3,800 microns. Adding the liquid supplement at 6% to the coarse-rolled finishing ration improved gain (P<.1) and feed efficiency (P<.1). Incorporation of Synergy 19/14 into feedlot rations may help reduce fluctuations in feed intake.

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
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

Effects Of Base Ingredient In Cooked Molasses Blocks On Intake And Digestion Of Prairie Hay By Beef Steers (1998), R.H. Greenwood, Evan C. Titgemeyer, James S. Drouillard
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Blocks based on cooked beet molasses, cane molasses, or concentrated separator by-product, CSB) were tested to compare their effects on intake and digestion of prairie hay by beef steers. All blocks contained at least 30% crude protein. Steers fed the cooked molasses blocks consumed and 22% more forage than control steers, but forage intakes were not different among the three different blocks. Intakes of digestible organic matter and neutral detergent fiber, indicators of energy available to the steers, were increased 38 and 29% respectively, by block supple-mentation but were not different among the three blocks. However, total tract organic matter …

Fusobacterium Necrophorum Leukotoxoid Vaccine For Prevention Of Liver Abscesses (1998), S. Saginala, K.F. Lechtenberg, Kenneth E. Kemp, P.M. Hine, Tiruvoor G. Nagaraja, M. M. Chengappa
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The efficacy of Fusobacterium necrophorum crude leukotoxoid vaccine to immunize and protect steers against experimentally induced liver abscesses was evaluated. The vaccine consisted of cell-free culture supernatant of a high leukotoxin-producing strain of F. necrophorum, inactivated with formalin and homogenized with an oil emulsion adjuvant. Vaccine was injected subcutaneously on days 0 and 21. Blood samples were collected weekly to monitor immune response. Three weeks after the second vaccination, steers were injected intraportally with F. necrophorum culture to induce liver abscesses. Three weeks later (day 63), steers were euthanatized and necropsied; livers were examined, and protection was assessed. Anti-leukotoxin antibody …

Predicting Voluntary Forage Intake In Cattle (1998), C.A. Bandyk, R.C. Cochran
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A large database was compiled of forage intake observations published during the past 20 years. Inputs included a wide range of factors believed to be related to voluntary intake. An analysis was designed to pinpoint which feed and animal characteristics were most valuable in predicting voluntary intake across a range of feeding situations and to compare the ability of different models to predict intake. Results emphasized the complexity of intake prediction. A wide range was evident in the variables included in the optimal models for predicting intake within different data subsets. In many cases, we observed that ratios between feed …

Development Of An In Vitro Procedure To Determine Ruminal Availability Of Protein (1998), C.K. Schoenholz, James S. Drouillard, C.K. Armendariz, Evan C. Titgemeyer
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A series of in vitro experiments was conducted to determine the ruminal availability of protein from grains. Procedures were based on assumptions that 1) ruminal availability of protein is first-limiting to microbial growth, 2) accumulation of microbial cells accurately predicts ruminal protein availability,3) cytosine can be used to accurately estimate microbial cell mass, and 4) cytosine is present in microorganisms but not in feeds. Cytosine content of in vitro cultures was measured by high performance liquid chromatography. Early experiments determined that adding 0.75 g soluble starch provided enough energy that culture growth depended on available protein. In the final experiment, …

Microbial Evaluation Of Steam Pasteurization And Comparison Of Excision Versus Sponge Sampling Recovery (1998), D.L. Retzlaff, S.A. Rueger, Randall K. Phebus, James L. Marsden, Curtis L. Kastner
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The use of steam pasteurization (SPS400™; Frigoscandia, Bellevue, WA) as a viable commercial-scale intervention method to treat pre-rigor beef carcasses uniformly hasbeen evaluated for temperatures from 180E to 201 ÌŠF. Effectiveness at lower temperatures(minimum atmospheric temperature of 170 ÌŠF) has not been evaluated. Previous studies of steam pasteurization used excision sampling. However, the USDA-FSIS has suggested use of nondestructive sampling of chilled beef carcasses for generic Escherichia coli, so we compared excision and sponge sampling in a commercial slaughter facility. Twenty-eight beef carcasses were monitored to determine the effectiveness of steam pasteurization and to compare the two sampling methods. Total …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The steam pasteurization process (SPS 400) developed by Frigoscandia Food Process Systems (Bellevue, WA) was effective in reducing bacterial populations in both laboratory and commercial settings. The objective of steam pasteurization and other meat decontamination measures is to extend product shelf life and improve safety by inhibiting or inactivating pathogens, while at the same time maintaining acceptable meat quality characteristics. The effects of steam pasteurization on beef carcass bacterial populations were evaluated at two large commercial beef processing facilities. A shelf-life study also was conducted to determine the microbial profiles of vacuum packaged beef loins from pasteurized and non-pasteurized carcasses. …
Effects Of Feeding Rumensin® In A Mineral Mixture On Steers Grazing Native Grass Pastures (1998), F.K. Brazle, S.B. Laudert
Effects Of Feeding Rumensin® In A Mineral Mixture On Steers Grazing Native Grass Pastures (1998), F.K. Brazle, S.B. Laudert
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Four hundred sixty-nine English and Continental cross yearling steers grazed on native grass pastures over a 2-year period. Rumensin® was added (1,620 g/ton) to the mineral mixture in half of the pastures. Some of the pastures were used from April 23 to July 15 and the remainder from April 23 to August 15. The pooled data for the grazing periods indicated that Rumensin supplemented steers gained 7.7% faster(P<.05) and consumed 32% less mineral (P<.05) compared to the control steers.

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Results of these studies suggest that experimental high molecular weight, whey protein concentrate can be an effective replacement for spray-dried animal plasma in diets for weanling pigs. Increasing spray-dried animal plasma improved ADG and ADFI quadratically, with the maximum response observed with 2.5% in 21-d-old pigs or 5.0% in 12-d-old pigs. The specialty whey protein concentrate fed from d 0 to 14 after weaning resulted in similar responses as spray-dried animal plasma fed during the same period and may be an effective alternative.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
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

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A complex diet formulation resulted in greater digestibility of nutrients and a trend for greater ADG for d 0 to 14 of the experiment. However, for d 14 to 28 and overall (d o to 28), diet complexity did not affect growth performance. In contrast, pelleting improved essentially every response criterion especially in simple diets. Expander conditioning before pelleting increased overall digestibility of nutrients and of F/G compared to standard conditioning, but again, the response was most pronounced with the simple diet formulations.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A growth trial was conducted to compare effects of modified tall oil (MTO) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on growth performance, serum chemistry, and carcass composition of finishing barrows. Overall, pigs fed the control diet did not differ from pigs fed MTO or CLA supplemented diets. However, pigs fed MTO had greater ADG and ADFI than pigs fed CLA. No effect of treatment was observed for any of the measured carcass criteria or serum triglyceride levels. The results of this research do not suggest a benefit from feeding MTO or CLA to pigs but do indicate differences in ADG and …

A growth trial \vas conducted to evaluate the effects of added chrOlniu111 nicotinate (CrNic) on growth performance and carcass composition of growing-finishing pi.gs (80 to 230 lb) and to compare 200 ppb of CrNic and chromium picolinate (CrPic). Few statistical responses were observed for growth performance, carcass characteristics, or serum chemistry profiles. These data suggest no beneficial responses to supplemental chromium in diets for growing-finishing barrows and gilts.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998
Influence Of Chop Location On Boneless Pork Loin Quality (1998), A T. Waylan, R C. Johnson, John A. Unruh
Influence Of Chop Location On Boneless Pork Loin Quality (1998), A T. Waylan, R C. Johnson, John A. Unruh
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Eighty-two boneless pork loins were used to examine the effects of chop location on longissimus muscle quality. The highest quality chops came from the posterior end. They had the lowest Warner-Bratzler shear value (most tender), highest cooking yield, and a high pH and percent extractable lipid. Visual and instrumental data suggested that the most posterior chop was lighter colored and had the highest degree of marbling. Color, firmness, and marbling evaluations were similar in the central posterior section of the loin. This suggests that this section was very uniform in visual pork quality. The anterior portion of the loin was …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
No differences occurred in ADG, ADFI, F/G, digestibilities of DM and GE, dressing percentage, 10th rib fat depth, or fat free lean index in pigs fed normal vs heterowaxy sorghums. As anticipated, with the greater fiber and lower energy in distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) than the parent cereal grains, ADG and digestibilities of DM and GE were lower and F/G was worse for pigs fed DDGS. However, the energy value of the DDGS was affected less adversely when heterowaxy sorghum was used for fermentation to ethanol.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998
