Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Forty-seven growing pigs (initially 65 ± 2 lb) were used in a metabolism study to determine the effects of a single respiratory disease challenge on growth performance, infrared thermal radiation, and serum acute phase proteins. Thirty pigs were challenged with Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia, and seven pigs were assigned to an ad libitum-fed nonchallenged control group. Ten additional nonchallenged pigs were pair-fed the feed intake of an A. pleuropneumonia-challenged counterpart. There were five 4 d collection periods (d 4 to 7, d 8 to 11, d 12 to 15, d 16 to 19, and d 22 to 25), and the A. pleuropneumonia …
