Effects Of Revalor-G®, Ralgro®, And Synovex-H® On The Performance Of Stocker Heifers Grazing Irrigated Rye Pasture (1998), Gerry L. Kuhl, Dale A. Blasi

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A 151-day field study was conducted to compare three anabolic implants for promoting weight gain in stocker heifers grazing center pivot-irrigated pastures of winter rye. Three hundred previously nonimplanted heifers averaging 421 lb were allotted to one of four treatments: 1) no implant-control (NC), 2) Ralgro® (RAL), 3) Revalor-G® (REV-G) and 4) Synovex-H® (SYN-H). Heifers were weighed at monthly intervals to evaluate the growth response curve of each implant type over time relative to controls. Only during the first 32-day period after implantation did heifers implanted with REV-G gain significantly faster (P<.05) than NC. All implant groups responded similarly (P>.05) during the next three monthly weigh periods. …

Determining Feed Budgets For Farm-Specific Nutritional Programs (1998), Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen, Steven S. Dritz

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Use of feed budgets simplifies feed delivery and improves the accuracy of delivering diets to the correct pig weight ranges during the nursery and finishing periods. Little information has been available for determining farm-specific feed budgets in the past. In this paper, we will outline simple methods to customize a feed budget for individual farms using feed efficiency from past closeout records.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Results of these studies suggest that experimental high molecular weight, whey protein concentrate can be an effective replacement for spray-dried animal plasma in diets for weanling pigs. Increasing spray-dried animal plasma improved ADG and ADFI quadratically, with the maximum response observed with 2.5% in 21-d-old pigs or 5.0% in 12-d-old pigs. The specialty whey protein concentrate fed from d 0 to 14 after weaning resulted in similar responses as spray-dried animal plasma fed during the same period and may be an effective alternative.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Effects Of Inorganic And Organic Acids On Urine Ph In Lactating Sows (1998), Robert H. Hines, H Coa, D J. Lee, C A. Maloney, J S. Park, Joel M. Derouchey, Joe D. Hancock Jan 1998

Effects Of Inorganic And Organic Acids On Urine Ph In Lactating Sows (1998), Robert H. Hines, H Coa, D J. Lee, C A. Maloney, J S. Park, Joel M. Derouchey, Joe D. Hancock

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Some swine practitioners are advocating the use of dietary acidifiers to reduce urine pH and, thereby, reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections. In our experiment, sows fed an inorganic (phosphoric) acid had lower urine pH than sows fed diets with organic (fumaric, lactic, formic, propionic, and citric) acids. Indeed, the organic acids at 1.5% and 3.0% of the diet increased blood pH and decreased pC02,indicating that these sows were in a more alkalotic (not acidotic) state.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Phosphorus-Reducing Technologies In Swine Production (1998), Michael A. Boland, K A. Foster, P V. Preckel Jan 1998

Phosphorus-Reducing Technologies In Swine Production (1998), Michael A. Boland, K A. Foster, P V. Preckel

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Soil phosphorus levels have increased as swine production has become concentrated. Phosphorus-based manure management regulations for land application have been proposed by policy makers. The objective of this research was to determine benefits/costs of adopting phytase for reducing phosphorus. Results were derived using different manure storage and application systems. Although phytase was a least-cost ingredient, it became profitable when producers were constrained by land. Land requirements were 2 to 5 times greater under a phosphorus application regulation than a nitrogen application regulation.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Talc did not affect growth performance, carcass characteristics, or stomach ulceration in finishing pigs. Feeder bridging scores and coefficients of static force (the force needed to result in particle movement) were increased with added talc, both of which indicate reduced feed flowability. In a second experiment, reducing particle size from 1,050 microns to 450 microns increased the coefficients of static force, dynamic force, and angle of repose. Adding talc to either particle size diet did not improve feed flow characteristics.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Two trials were conducted to compare the nutritional adequacy ofhigh-lysine, high-oil corn (.408% lysine, 6.21% fat) and highoil corn (.289% lysine, 5.97% fat) for young growing pigs. Experiment 1 used four barrows fitted with ileal T-cannulas in a crossover design digestion study. Diets contained 8.5% casein and an equal amount of lysine from the test corn. Apparent ileal digestibilities of amino acids, GE, DM, CP, and ash were similar between diets. Experiment 2 used segregated early-weaned barrows in a 2 x 2 factorially designed growth trial. Main effects were corn type and dietary lysine (.80 or 1.15% digestible lysine). Increasing …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 360 pigs (initially 11.5 lb and 16 d of age) was fed a negative control diet containing no added Zn; one of six diets containing 165 ppm Zn from zinc oxide from the trace mineral premix and added AvailaZn (0, 100,200, 300,400, or 500 ppm of Zn); or a positive control diet containing 3,165 ppm added Zn from zinc oxide. Pigs fed the positive control diet had higher (P<.02)ADG and ADFI compared to pigs in all other treatments for the duration of the trial. Pigs fed diets containing Availazn had numerically higher ADG and ADFI than pigs fed diets containing no added Zn for the entire trial. These results are similar to previous research showing maximum growth performance exhibited by pigs fed high levels (3,000 ppm) of Zn from zinc oxide.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Compared to a corn-soybean meal control, added-fat from tallow, soybean oil, and dry-extruded whole soybeans (DEWS) improved ADG, F/G, and digestibility of DM and N. Feeding tallow increased belly firmness but also increased backfat thickness compared to diets with soy oil and DEWS. Comparisons among soybean genotypes indicated that high oleic acid soybeans supported greater growth performance than soybeans with high palmitic acid content. However, soybean genotype had no effect on carcass or meat quality measurements.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Effects Of Particle Size And Mixing Time On Uniformity And Segregation In Pig Diets (1998), N Amornthewaphat, Keith C. Behnke, Joe D. Hancock Jan 1998

Effects Of Particle Size And Mixing Time On Uniformity And Segregation In Pig Diets (1998), N Amornthewaphat, Keith C. Behnke, Joe D. Hancock

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Diet uniformity, as represented by the coefficient of variation (CV), improved as mixing time was increased from 15 to 120 seconds and(or) com particle size was decreased from 1,200 to 400 ~m. Segregation occurred during free-fall, and the coarser particle sizes resulted in greater segregation than the finer particle sizes. Thus, reducing particle size of the cereal grain in swine diets not only improves efficiency of growth (as demonstrated in numerous KSU Swine Day Reports) but also decreases mix time needed for adequate blending and the likelihood of segregation during handling, storage, and delivery of diets to feeders.; Swine Day, …

Pellet durability index was similar for sorghum- vs com-based diets but was greater for expander-conditioned pellets than standard-conditioned pellets. For finishing pigs, ADG, F/G, and carcass measurenlents were similar for pigs fed sorghum vs com. Efficiency of gain was 6% better for pigs fed pelleted diets compared to those given meal diets but was sinlilar for pigs fed the conventional- and expander-conditioned diets. For sows, the com- and sorghumbased diets supported similar litter performance. Our data indicate that sorghum is an excellent feedstuff: comparable to corn, in diets for finishing pigs and sows.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

A complex diet formulation resulted in greater digestibility of nutrients and a trend for greater ADG for d 0 to 14 of the experiment. However, for d 14 to 28 and overall (d o to 28), diet complexity did not affect growth performance. In contrast, pelleting improved essentially every response criterion especially in simple diets. Expander conditioning before pelleting increased overall digestibility of nutrients and of F/G compared to standard conditioning, but again, the response was most pronounced with the simple diet formulations.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

In finishing pigs, waxy sorghum had lower digestibilities for DM and GE than the other genotypes. Also, the hard sorghums were more digestible (P<.06) than the medium hardness sorghum. In broiler chicks, the waxy sorghum was similar to the other genotypes for growth performance and nutrient digestibility. The soft sorghum was superior to the medium and hard genotypes for nutrient retention but not for growth performance. Fine grinding improved F/G and increased retention of nutrients and steam-flaked sorghum supported greater growth performance than extruded sorghum.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998
