Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of increasing dietary lysine and energy density on nursery pig performance. Experiment 1 was organized as a combination of two simultaneous experiments,with one set of diets consisting of five treatments with increasing true ileal digestible (TID) lysine (1.11, 1.19, 1.26, 1.34, and 1.42%) and the second set of diets consisting of five treatments with increasing energy density (1,341, 1,408, 1,475, 1,542, and 1,609 kcal/lb). The highest level of both lysine and energy density (1.42% and 1,609 kcal/lb, respectively) were combined as one diet and used in both the lysine and energy-density titrations, …

A total of 182 lactating sows were used in a study to determine the threonine requirement, and the relative difference in resulting performance of lactation diets with high concentrations of crystalline amino acids, compared with a conventional corn-soybean meal diet. All experimental diets were based on corn-soybean meal and formulated to contain 0.88% true ileal digestible (TID) lysine (1.00 and 0.97% total lysine for the control treatment and crystalline amino acid treatments, respectively). The control treatment was a conventional corn-soybean meal diet with no added crystalline amino acids. The other five experimental diets contained 0.37% L-lysine HCl, with other amino …
A Comparison Of Bygholm Feed Sieve To Standard Particle-Size Analysis Techniques (2005), C K. Benz, C N. Groesbeck, Michael D. Tokach, Jim L. Nelssen, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Steven S. Dritz

Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the Bygholm Feed Sieve particle size tester. The Bygholm Feed Sieve is an 11 inch × 2.25 inch × 4.25 inch plastic box divided into four compartments by three different screen sizes (3,000-, 2,000-, and 1,000-micron mesh). In Experiment 1, particle size was determined for 20 ground corn samples with a Ro-Tap 13-sieve stack (53- to 3,350-micron Tyler mesh screens).The particle sizes ranged from 543 to 1,741 microns. Samples were analyzed for particle size with the standard Bygholm Feed Sieve, operated according to the manufacturer's directions. In Experiment 2, two rubber balls were placed …
