Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 2,430 pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 66.3 lb BW) were used in a 113-d growth trial to determine the effects of increasing Zn on growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs. Two barns were used for a total of 18 pens per treatment with 27 pigs per pen. Pigs were allotted by average initial BW and assigned to 1 of 5 dietary treatments consisting of 50, 87.5, 125, 162.5, or 200 ppm added Zn from Zn hydroxychloride (Intellibond Z, Micronutrients, Indianapolis, IN). Experimental diets were fed from d 0 to 113 in 5 phases and …
Effects Of Added Defusion Or Feed Aid On Finishing Pig Growth Performance From 45 To 243 Lb, D. Shawk, S. S. Dritz, M. D. Tokach, J. C. Woodworth, R. D. Goodband, J. M. Derouchey

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 1,188 pigs (PIC 359 × 1050; initial BW 45.1 lb) were used in a 112-d growth trial to determine the effects of Defusion (Provimi, Brooksville, OH) or Feed Aid (NutriQuest, Mason City, IA) on finishing pig performance from 45 to 243 lb in a commercial setting. Pens of pigs were blocked by BW and then randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments in a completely randomized block design with 27 pigs per pen and 11 pens per treatment. Dietary treatments were fed in a 4-phase feeding program from approximately 45 to 83, 83 to 136, 136 …
