Effects Of Increasing Soybean Meal In Diets Based On Corn And Dried Distillers Grains With Solubles On Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Late Finishing Pigs, Julia P. Holen, Robert D. Goodband, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey Jan 2021

Effects Of Increasing Soybean Meal In Diets Based On Corn And Dried Distillers Grains With Solubles On Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Late Finishing Pigs, Julia P. Holen, Robert D. Goodband, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 1,827 pigs (L337 × 1050, PIC; initially 215.8 ± 2.5 lb) were used to evaluate the effects of increasing soybean meal (SBM) in corn-DDGS-based diets on growth performance of late finishing pigs. Pens were blocked by BW and randomly assigned to 1 of 5 dietary treatments with 14 replications per treatment. Experimental diets were corn-based with 25% DDGS. Soybean meal levels increased from 0 to 16% in 4% increments replacing added feed grade AA. Pens of pigs were weighed to evaluate ADG, ADFI, and F/G. Data were analyzed with the GLIMMIX procedure of SAS and pen was …

Effects Of Increasing Soybean Meal In Corn-Based Diets On Growth Performance Of Late Finishing Pigs, Julia P. Holen, Robert D. Goodband, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 1,793 pigs (L337 × 1050, PIC, Hendersonville, TN; initially 231.2 ± 2.4 lb) were used to evaluate the effects of increasing soybean meal in corn-based diets on growth performance of late finishing pigs. Pens of pigs were blocked by initial weight and randomly assigned to 1 of 5 dietary treatments with 22 to 27 pigs per pen and 12 to 14 pens per treatment. Experimental diets were corn-based, formulated to 0.70% SID Lys, and contained varying amounts of feed grade AA to meet or exceed requirement estimates. Soybean meal gradually increased from 5 to 20% of the …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

It is with great pleasure that we present the 2021 Swine Industry Day Report of Progress. This report contains updates and summaries of applied and basic research conducted at Kansas State University during the past year. We hope that the information will be of benefit as we attempt to meet the needs of the Kansas swine industry.

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 4,076 pigs (initially 86.5 ± 1.24 lb) were used across 2 experiments to evaluate the effect of increasing ratios of Val, Ile, and Trp to Lys on pig growth performance and carcass characteristics in corn-soybean meal-DDGS-based diets containing increased levels of dietary Leu:Lys. In both experiments, the 4 dietary treatments were as follows: 1) high soybean meal and low feed grade amino acids (control); 2) low soybean meal and high feed grade amino acids, with Val:Lys, Ile:Lys, and Trp:Lys at 67, 55, and 18, respectively, (low ratio); 3) same as diet 2 except Val:Lys, Ile:Lys, and Trp:Lys …


Effects Of Increasing Soybean Meal In Corn-Wheat Midds-Based Diets On Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Late Finishing Pigs, Julia P. Holen, Robert D. Goodband, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey, Chad W. Hastad, Zach B. Post Jan 2021

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 786 pigs (PIC TR4 × (Fast LW × PIC L02); initially 213.2 lb ± 2.37 lb) were used to evaluate the effects of increasing soybean meal (SBM) in corn-wheat middsbased diets on growth performance of late finishing pigs. Pens of pigs were blocked by BW and randomly assigned to 1 of 5 treatments with 9 replications per treatment. Experimental diets were corn-based with 30% wheat midds. Soybean meal levels increased from 0 to 16% replacing added feed grade AA. Pens of pigs were weighed to evaluate ADG, ADFI, and F/G. Data were analyzed with the GLIMMIX procedure …
