Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 727 mixed parity (mean = 3.8) sows were used to evaluate the effects of timing and size of meals before farrowing on sow and litter performance. Upon entry to the farrowing house (d 113), sows were blocked by weight within parity and allotted to 1 of 3 feeding management strategies until farrowing: 1) 6.0 lb lactation diet (1.15% standardized ileal digestible lysine and 1,150 kcal/lb NE) once daily at 0700 h; 2) 4 daily meals of 1.5 lb (0100 h, 0700 h, 1300 h, 1900 h); 3)ad libitumlactation diet and encouraged to consume feed at …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 107 sows (Line; 241 DNA; Columbus, NE) were used in a study to evaluate the effect of Enogen Feed corn and conventional yellow dent corn ground to different particle sizes in lactation diets on sow and litter performance. On d 107 of gestation, sows were blocked by body weight and parity and allotted to 1 of 4 dietary treatments. Dietary treatments consisted of 2 corn sources (Enogen Feed corn and conventional yellow dent) and 2 ground corn particle sizes (600 and 900 microns). A common diet was fed to sows from time of arrival into the farrowing …
