Evaluation Of Essential Fatty Acids In Lactating Sow Diets On Sow Reproductive Performance, Colostrum And Milk Composition, And Piglet Survivability, Julia P. Holen, Jason C. Woodworth, Mike D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Ashley E. Dedecker, Xochitl Martinez
Evaluation Of Essential Fatty Acids In Lactating Sow Diets On Sow Reproductive Performance, Colostrum And Milk Composition, And Piglet Survivability, Julia P. Holen, Jason C. Woodworth, Mike D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Ashley E. Dedecker, Xochitl Martinez
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 3,451 mixed parity sows and their litters were used to evaluate the effects of essential fatty acid intake on sow reproductive performance, piglet growth and survivability, and colostrum and milk composition. At approximately d 112 of gestation, sows were blocked by parity within farrowing room and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 experimental treatments. Lactation diets were corn-soybean meal-wheat-based and included 0.5 (Control) or 3% choice white grease (CWG), 3% soybean oil (SO), or a combination of 3% soybean oil and 2% choice white grease (Combination). Thus, sows were provided diets with low essential fatty acid (EFA; …

Effect Of Sow Feeder Type And Drip Cooling On Sow Body Weight, Litter Performance, And Feeder Cleaning Criteria, Zhong-Xing Rao, Kyle Coble, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey, Robert D. Goodband, Jordan T. Gebhardt
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 600 mixed parity sows (PIC, Line 3) were used to evaluate the effect of different lactation feeders and drip cooling on lactating sow farrowing performance and litter growth performance during summer conditions. For the lactation feeder evaluation, the trial was conducted in 2 sequential groups with 300 sows per group in the same facility in central Arkansas. Five rooms with 60 farrowing stalls per room were used for each group. At approximately d 110 to 112 of gestation, sows were blocked by body condition score (BCS), parity, and offspring genetics (Line 2 or Line 3 sires). Sows …
Pigs Weaned From Sows Fed A Feed Flavor Had Improved Nursery Performance, But Feed Flavor In The Nursery Diets Did Not Impact Performance, Mikayla S. Spinler, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Joel M. Derouchey, Mike D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jason C. Woodworth
Pigs Weaned From Sows Fed A Feed Flavor Had Improved Nursery Performance, But Feed Flavor In The Nursery Diets Did Not Impact Performance, Mikayla S. Spinler, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Joel M. Derouchey, Mike D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jason C. Woodworth
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 360 weaned pigs (DNA 241 × 600: initially 12.6 lb) were used to evaluate the effects of previous sow feed flavoring treatment (control vs. flavor) and nursery diets formulated with or without a feed flavor on growth performance in a 38-d trial. Pigs were weaned at approximately 19 d from sows fed diets with or without 0.05% of the feed flavor (Krave AP, Adisseo, Alpharetta, GA). Pigs were placed in pens (5 to 6 pigs per pen) within sow treatment and were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 dietary nursery treatments. There were 14 to 17 replications …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
This file includes the 2022 Swine Day Research Report introduction, standard abbreviations, K-State Vitamin and Trace Mineral Premixes statement, biological variability and chances of error explanation, and acknowledgments of our supporters. We hope that the information in the 2022 Swine Day Research Report will be of benefit as we attempt to meet the needs of the Kansas swine industry.
