Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A 35-d growth trial was conducted to determine the influence of different soybean meal processing techniques on starter pig growth performance. From d 0 to 14 after weaning, all pigs were fed a common diet. Then pigs were fed six experimental diets from d 14 to 35 after weaning. Three treatment comparisons were made. Pigs fed a diet containing extruded-expelled soybean meal (SBM) without hulls (Insta-Pro) were compared to those fed solvent-extracted SBM (46.50/0 CP) and 3.21% soy oil. Pigs fed a diet containing extruded-expelled SBM with hulls (lnsta-Pro) were compared to those fed a diet containing 44% CP SBM …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We conducted a 28-d experiment to evaluate effects of increasing dietary pantothenic acid on growth performance of segregated early-weaned pigs. Pigs (initially 8.8 ± 2.21b and 11 ± 2 d of age) were fed a control diet (no added pantothenic acid) or the control diet with 30, 60, and 120 ppm of added pantothenic acid. Increasing pantothenic acid increased ADG and ADFI linearly from dO to 14 after weaning. However, from d 14 to 28 after weaning, pigs fed 60 mg/kg of added pantothenic acid tended to have the greatest ADG and ADFI. For the cumulative period (d 0to 28 …

Effects Of Level Of Modified Tall Oil On Finishing Pig Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics (1998), P R. O'Quinn, J C. Woodworth, Jim L. Nelssen, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, John A. Unruh
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A growth trial was conducted to evaluate effects of increasing levels of modified tall oil (MTO) on growth performance and carcass composition of finishing barrows. No effect of treatment was observed for ADG, ADFI, or feed efficiency (F/G) during any of the growth periods. However, pigs fed increasing MTO had less backfat, larger longissimus muscle area, and increased percentage muscle than control pigs not fed MTO. Additionally, carcasses from pigs fed MTO had decreased drip loss. The results of this trial indicate that although MTO has no impact on growth performance in barrows, it can improve carcass leanness. The optimal …

Added Dietary Fat Improves Growth Performance And Feed Efficiency In Growing-Finishing Pigs Under Commercial Conditions (1998), S S. Dritz, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of480 pigs was used in an experiment conducted in a commercial research facility to determine the influence of fat additions to the growing-finishing diet on pig performance and carcass composition. Adding fat to the diet from 80 to 265 lb increased ADG and FIG by 1 and 2%, respectively, for each 1%added fat. The growth response was greatest during the initial phase of the trial (80 to 130 lb) and declined as the trial progressed. The feed efficiency response was consistent throughout the trial. After adjusting for the greater carcass weight of pigs consuming the high fat diets, …

Apparent Ileal Digestiblity Of Amino Acids And Digestible And Metabolizable Energy Values For Conventional Soybean Meal Or Dry Extruded-Expelled Soybean Meal For Swine (1998), J C. Woodworth, P R. O'Quinn, D A. Knabe, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We conducted two experiments to determine the apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids and digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) values for conventionally processed, solvent-extracted soybean meal (SBM) compared to dry-extruded-expelled SBM with or without soy hulls. Apparent ileal digestibility of crude protein and lysine and DE and ME values were greater in either extruded-expelled SBM compared to the conventionally processed SBM. No differences occurred in apparent digestibility of amino acids or energy values between extruded-expelled SBM with hulls and that without hulls. These results suggest that the dry extrusion followed by expeller processing of soybeans results in a …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Seventy two early-weaned pigs (initially 12.4 lb) were used in a 14-d growth trial to evaluate a control diet (no added spray-dried egg albumin or animal plasma) or the control diet with 5% spray-dried plasma, 7% spraydried egg albumin~ or 2.5% spray-dried plasma plus 3.5% spray-dried egg albumin. Pigs fed 5% spray-dried animal plasma had greater ADG and improved F/G compared with those fed 7% spray-dried egg albumin, whereas pigs fed the control or a blend of spray-dried egg albumin plus spray-dried animal plasma had intermediate performance. These results suggest that the spray-dried egg albumin used is not an effective …

Senne, Robert H. Hines, D W. Dean, I Mavromichalis, J R. Froetschner, Joe D. Hancock
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
No differences occurred in ADG, ADFI, F/G, digestibilities of DM and GE, dressing percentage, 10th rib fat depth, or fat free lean index in pigs fed normal vs heterowaxy sorghums. As anticipated, with the greater fiber and lower energy in distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) than the parent cereal grains, ADG and digestibilities of DM and GE were lower and F/G was worse for pigs fed DDGS. However, the energy value of the DDGS was affected less adversely when heterowaxy sorghum was used for fermentation to ethanol.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998
Influence Of High Levels Of Zinc From Zinc Oxide, Zinc Sulfate, Or A Zinc Amino Acid Complex On Starter Pig Performance (1998), J C. Woodworth, P R. O'Quinn, J A. Loughmiller, S A. Moser, T M. Fakler, Michael D. Tokach, Jim L. Nelssen, Robert D. Goodband, Steven S. Dritz

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We conducted two studies to determine the effects of increasing L-lysine HCI in finishing pig diets. Experiment 1 used sorghum-soybean meal-based diets, and Exp. 2 used corn-soybean meal-based diets. Treatments included a control diet (no L-lysine HCl) or .15, .225, and .30% L-lysine HCI replacing the lysine provided by soybean meal. In Exp. 1, increasing L-lysine HCI from 0 to .150/0 had no effect on ADG, F/G, and percentage lean; however, pigs fed .225 and .30% L-Iysine HCI had poorer ADG, F/G, and percentage lean. In Exp. 2, ADG and FfG were poorer for pigs fed .225 or .30% L-lysine …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three hundred and sixty early-weaned barrows were fed diets containing increasing levels of added Zn from zinc oxide (0, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,600, 2,400, and 3,200 ppm). From d 11 to 21, growth performance improved with up to 100 ppm of added Zn but was not improved further until pigs were fed 3,200 ppm of added Zn. From d 21 to 36, pigs fed 100 ppm of Zn had the best growth performance. These results suggest that a pig's basal Zn requirement is met with 100 ppm of added Zn from zinc oxide, but adding 3,200 ppm Zn …

Influence Of Spirulina Platensis On Growth Performance Of Weanling Pigs (1998), G S. Grinstead, J Sawyer, K Maxwell, R Stott, A Moser, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We conducted three experiments to evaluate the influence of an algal feed additive, Spirulina platensis, on weanling pig performance. Two experiments conducted under commercial production conditions indicated a response to Spirulina platensis in meal-based diets but not pelleted diets. Another experiment concluded that Spirulina platensis tended to improve F/G early in the trial but not for cumulative performance. Results of these three experiments suggest that Spirulina platensis added at low inclusions to the diet may enhance performance. However, the results lacked consistency across experiments and warrant further investigation.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Three hundred arid fifty three lactating sows were used to determine the effects of increased dietary lysine on sow and litter performance. At farrowing, sows were assigned to com-soybean meal lactation diets consisting of either 1.0 or 1.3% total lysine. A treatment by parity interaction was observed, with first parity sows fed 1.3% lysine having heavier litter weaning weights than sows fed 1.00/0 lysine. Surprisingly, third and fourth parity sows fed 1.3% lysine had lower litter weaning weights than those fed 1.0% lysine. No other treatment by parity interactions existed. No differences were observed in the number of pigs weaned …

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
Three hundred and fifty pigs were used in a 27-d growth study to determine the appropriate total sulfur amino acid:lysine ratio for 25 to 50 lb pigs. Pigs were blocked by weight (initially 22.5 lb) and allotted to one of 10 treatments arranged in a 2 x 5 factorial with two levels of total dietary lysine (.95 and 1.250/0) and five total sulfur amino acid ratios (.45, .50, .55, .60, and .65% of total lysine). Increasing total lysine from .95 to 1.25% increased ADG and improved FIG. Increasing the total sulfur amino acid:lysine ratio did not affect ADG but improved …
Evaluation Of A High-Protein Whey Protein Concentrate And Spray-Dried Animal Plasma On Growth Performance Of Weanling Pigs (1998), G S. Grinstead, B Reibold, J T. Sawyer, M Molitor, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen, Michael D. Tokach

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

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

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

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

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three hundred ninety high-lean growth pigs were used in a 17 d growth assay from 25 to 45 lb. Treatments consisted of soybean meal (SBM) from either high-oleic or check-line soybean varieties processed under pilot-plant processing conditions at four temperature ranges (80-85, 85-90, 90-95, 100-105 °C). Positive and negative controls were made using commercially obtained SBM (46.50%CP). Total dietary lysine was maintained at .95% except for the positive control (1.30%). Pigs fed commercial SBM with 1.30% dietary lysine had increased ADG and better F/G than pigs fed any other treatment. A SBM variety x processing temperature interaction was observed for …
