A Multi-Trial Analysis Evaluating The Effects Of Pharmacological Levels Of Intellibond Copper On Growing-Finishing Pig Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics, Hayden R. Kerkaert, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey, Steve S. Dritz, Mike D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Hilda Calderon Cartagena
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A multi-trial analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of pharmacological levels of added IntelliBond Copper (IBC) on growing-finishing pig growth performance and carcass characteristics compared to pigs fed control diets containing typical additions of copper from a trace mineral premix. Data with 331 observations within 8 trials were included in the final database. Inclusion rates for IBC were either 150 (7 trials), or 200 (1 trial) ppm. Pigs fed IBC throughout the entire grow-finish period had greater (P<0.05) overall ADG, ADFI, and final BW and tended (P= 0.085) to be more efficient than pigs fed control diets. There was no evidence for differences (P …

Summary Of Methodology Used In Enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli (Etec) Challenge Experiments In Weanling Pigs And Quantitative Assessment Of Observed Variability, Payton L. Dahmer, Joel M. Derouchey, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Chad B. Paulk, Cassandra K. Jones
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Post-weaning diarrhea in pigs can be caused by the F4 or F18 strains of enterotoxigenicEscherichia coli(ETEC). To evaluate interventions for ETEC, experimental infection via a challenge model is critical. To our knowledge, there is a lack of explanation for the variability in responses observed across ETEC challenge studies. Our objective was to quantitatively summarize the responses and variability among recent ETEC challenge studies and develop a tool for sample size calculation. The most widely evaluated response criteria across ETEC challenge studies are growth performance, fecal consistency and bacterial shedding, intestinal morphology, and immune responses. Factors that contribute to …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Pelleting of feed has been demonstrated to be an effective mitigation strategy for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) contaminated feed but has not been evaluated for other endemic swine viruses like porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) or Seneca Valley virus 1 (SVV1). Therefore, the objective of this experiment was to evaluate the efficacy of pelleting to inactivate PEDV, PRRSV, and SVV1 inoculated feed. Ten replicates were conducted in the Cargill Feed Safety Research Center at Kansas State University (K-State) using a pilot scale mixer, bucket elevator, pellet mill (including conditioner and die), and cooler. First, a virus negative …

Pigs are hosts forSalmonellaand Shiga toxin-producingEscherichia coli(STEC) and these pathogens can commonly be isolated from the pig farm environment. Pigs can carry pathogens to the abattoir and contaminate pork products, posing a risk to public health. Identifying an intervention that effectively reduces pathogens in commercial pigs before harvest is imperative. Due to the need for effective pre-harvest interventions in the pig industry, the objective of this study was to investigate BIOPLUS 2B (Bacillus licheniformisandBacillus subtilis) and Probicon L28 (Lactobacillus salivariusL28) as pre-harvest interventions to reduceSalmonellaand STEC in commercial …

At weaning, pigs were randomly allotted to 1 of 6 dietary treatments containing 6 different specialty protein sources added on an SID Lys basis. Dietary treatments consisted of diets with: 1) 7.0% enzymatically treated soybean meal (HP 300; Hamlet Protein; Findlay, OH); 2) 3.5% spray-dried bovine plasma (APC Inc, Ankeny, IA); 3) 5.0% microbially enhanced soybean meal (MEPro, Prairie Aquatech, …

The objective of this research was to evaluate the impact of varying SID Thr:Lys ratios on growth performance, removals, and mortality rates of late-nursery, grower, and finishing PIC 337 × 1050 pigs. In each experiment, pens of pigs were blocked by BW and randomly assigned to 1 of 5 dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design with 19 to 27 pigs per pen and 8, 7, and 7 replications per treatment in Exp. 1, 2, and 3, respectively. In Exp. 1, 987 pigs (initially 26.0 ± 0.70 lb) were used from 26 to 54 lb. In Exp. 2, 875 …

A total of 2,160 grow-finish pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 71.8 ± 1.4 lb) were used in a 114-d trial to determine the effects of feeding diets differing in Ca:P ratio and added phytase or phytase and 25(OH)D3(Hy-D, DSM Nutritional Products, Parsippany, NJ) on growth performance, weight variation, serum 25(OH)D3, bone characteristics, and economics. Pigs were housed in mixed gender pens with 27 pigs per pen and 20 pens per treatment. The four treatments were structured as a randomized complete block design and consisted of: 1) a high phosphorus (HP) diet formulated to a 1.25:1 …

A total of 28 mixed parity sows (Line 241 DNA) and their offspring were used in a farrow-to-finish study to evaluate the effect of live yeast supplementation during lactation with or without yeast extract supplementation during the nursery period on sow and litter performance and lifetime growth performance, serum antibody titers, and carcass characteristics. Sows were blocked by parity and BW on d 110 of gestation and allotted to 1 of 2 dietary treatments which consisted of a standard corn-soybean meal lactation diet with or without yeast-based probiotics (0.10% Actisaf Sc 47 HR+; Phileo by Lesaffre, Milwaukee, WI). Following weaning, …

A total of 2,265 finishing pigs (337 × 1050 PIC; initially 110.7 ± 6.14 lb) were used in two 28-d trials to determine the effect of increasing energy or lysine in soybean meal-based diets on early and late finishing pig performance. Pigs were housed in mixed gender pens with 27 pigs per pen and 21 pens per treatment. Soybean meal (SBM) NE values used in diet formulation were either 946 kcal/lb (78% NE of corn; NRC) or 1,212 kcal/lb (100% NE of corn). The treatments were structured as a completely randomized design. Treatments consisted of: 1) a diet containing a …

A total of 56 mixed parity sows (DNA 241, Columbus, NE) and litters (DNA 241 × 600) were used across two batch farrowing groups to evaluate the effects of precision feeding SID Lys during lactation. Sows were blocked by parity and allotted to 1 of 3 treatments on day 2 of lactation (the day after the start of farrowing). The first treatment was a control treatment where sows were provided a 1.10% SID Lys diet throughout lactation. The second and third treatments included sows fed either a static blend curve or a dynamic blend curve. Both blend curve treatments utilized …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 95 mixed parity sows (DNA 241) and litters (DNA 241 × 600) were used across four batch farrowing groups to evaluate the effects of precision feeding Lys during lactation. Sows were blocked by parity and allotted to 1 of 3 treatments on day 2 (the day after farrowing) of lactation. Dietary treatments were formed by using 2 diets: a low Lys diet (0.25% SID Lys) and a high Lys diet (1.10% SID Lys). Treatments included a control, NRC (2012), or INRA (2009) treatment curve. Sows on the NRC or INRA treatment curves received a blend of the …
