Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 996 pigs (PIC TR4; initially 24.5 lb BW and 40 d of age) were used in a 21-d study to determine the effects of corn particle size, complete diet grinding, and diet form on nursery pig growth performance and caloric efficiency. Pens of pigs were balanced by initial BW and randomly allotted to 1 of 6 dietary treatments with 6 replications per treatment and 28 pigs per pen. The same corn-soybean meal—based diet containing 30% corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and 10% wheat middlings (midds) was used for all treatments. The 6 treatments were: (1) …
