Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 1,089 mixed-sex pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initial BW 98.2 lb) were used in a 96-d study. The two diet types fed during the study were a corn-soybean meal control diet with low NDF (9.3%) and a high-fiber diet with high NDF (19%) that contained 30% dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and 19% wheat middlings (midds). Pens of pigs were randomly allotted to 1 of 6 dietary feeding strategies with 25 to 27 pigs per pen and 7 replications per treatment. The six dietary strategies consisted of the corn-soybean meal control diet or high-fiber diet fed …
