Evaluating The Interactive Effects Of Cordyceps Mushroom Powder And Carbadox To Pharmacological Copper And Zinc For Nursery Pigs, J. Richert, M. Thayer, C. Chastain, A. Duttlinger, J. Feldpausch, R. Garcia, B. Richert, J. L. Nelssen
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The objective of this study was to evaluate the independent and additive effects ofCordycepsmushroom powder (MP) and carbadox to pharmacological levels of copper and zinc in nursery pig diets. Two hundred and ten crossbred weanling pigs (Duroc × (York × Landrace)) average of 19 d of age and 12.8 lb were used in a 33-day growth trial. Pigs were allotted by weight, sex, ancestry, and assigned to body weight (BW) blocks. Within BW blocks, sex ratios were constant in each pen. Pen was the experimental unit, and growth performance was analyzed using BW, average daily gain (ADG), average …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 2,184 barrows and gilts (DNA 600 × PIC L42) were used in a study from weaning to market to evaluate the effect of increasing weaning age and antibiotic use on pig performance in a commercial production system. A 3 × 2 factorial arrangement was used. The treatments included weaning age (18.5, 21.5, or 24.5 days of age) and the use of antibiotic (AB) or antibiotic free (ABF). There were 14 replicate pens per treatment and 26 pigs per pen (13 barrows and 13 gilts). Pigs were weaned from a 4,000-sow farm and placed in pens by weaning …
The Effects Of Cordyceps Mushroom Powder And Purified Mushroom Beta-Glucan On Nursery Pig Performance, J. Richert, M. Thayer, C. Chastain, A. Duttlinger, J. Feldpausch, R. Garcia, B. Richert, J. L. Nelssen
The Effects Of Cordyceps Mushroom Powder And Purified Mushroom Beta-Glucan On Nursery Pig Performance, J. Richert, M. Thayer, C. Chastain, A. Duttlinger, J. Feldpausch, R. Garcia, B. Richert, J. L. Nelssen
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
One hundred thirty-two gilts and barrows (18.2 d of age) weighing an average of 13.4 lb (Duroc × (York × Landrace)) were put on test for a 35-day growth trial to assess the effects ofCordycepsmushroom powder (MP) or purified mushroom beta-glucan (BG) as an antibiotic alternative in nursery diets. There were 6 diets, negative and positive controls (NC and PC), 150 and 300 ppm mushroom powder, and 150 and 300 ppm beta-glucan equivalents to the MP diets. Pigs were divided by weight, sex, litter, and assigned to 6 body weight (BW) blocks. Within BW blocks, sex ratios were …
Effects Of Soybean Meal Level On Growth Performance Of 25- To 50-Lb Nursery Pigs, H. S. Cemin, M. D. Tokach, S. S. Dritz, J. C. Woodworth, J. M. Derouchey, R. D. Goodband
Effects Of Soybean Meal Level On Growth Performance Of 25- To 50-Lb Nursery Pigs, H. S. Cemin, M. D. Tokach, S. S. Dritz, J. C. Woodworth, J. M. Derouchey, R. D. Goodband
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Four experiments were conducted to determine the effects of increasing soybean meal (SBM) level in diets with or without 25% distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on growth performance of nursery pigs raised in university or commercial facilities. Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 3 factorial with main effects of SBM (27.5, 32.5, or 37.5% of the diet) and DDGS (0 or 25% of the diet). A total of 296, 2,502, 4,118, and 711 pigs initially 23.2, 25.7, 27.5, and 27.1 lb body weight (BW) were used in Exp. 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. There were 10, 16, …
