Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A multi-trial analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of pharmacological levels of added IntelliBond Copper (IBC) on growing-finishing pig growth performance and carcass characteristics compared to pigs fed control diets containing typical additions of copper from a trace mineral premix. Data with 331 observations within 8 trials were included in the final database. Inclusion rates for IBC were either 150 (7 trials), or 200 (1 trial) ppm. Pigs fed IBC throughout the entire grow-finish period had greater (P<0.05) overall ADG, ADFI, and final BW and tended (P= 0.085) to be more efficient than pigs fed control diets. There was no evidence for differences (P …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 1,026 grow-finish pigs (337 × 1050 PIC; initially 57.2 ± 0.73 lb) were used in a 124-d trial to compare sulfate and hydroxychloride forms of Zn, Mn, and Cu on growth performance, carcass characteristics, weight variation, and economics of grow-finish pigs. Pigs were housed in mixed gender pens with 27 pigs per pen and 19 pens per treatment. The treatments were structured as a completely randomized design and consisted of a control diet containing 150, 16, and 110 ppm of Cu, Mn, and Zn, respectively, from sulfate sources or the same inclusion provided by hydroxychloride sources. Experimental …

We hope that the information in the 2023 Swine Day Research Report will be of benefit as we attempt to meet the needs of the Kansas swine industry.


Effects Of Increasing Energy Or Lysine In Soybean Meal-Based Diets On Early And Late Finishing Pig Performance, Ty H. Kim, Jamil E. G. Faccin, Robert D. Goodband, Mike D. Tokach, Joel M. Derouchey, Jason C. Woodworth, Jordan T. Gebhardt Jan 2023

Effects Of Increasing Energy Or Lysine In Soybean Meal-Based Diets On Early And Late Finishing Pig Performance, Ty H. Kim, Jamil E. G. Faccin, Robert D. Goodband, Mike D. Tokach, Joel M. Derouchey, Jason C. Woodworth, Jordan T. Gebhardt

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 2,265 finishing pigs (337 × 1050 PIC; initially 110.7 ± 6.14 lb) were used in two 28-d trials to determine the effect of increasing energy or lysine in soybean meal-based diets on early and late finishing pig performance. Pigs were housed in mixed gender pens with 27 pigs per pen and 21 pens per treatment. Soybean meal (SBM) NE values used in diet formulation were either 946 kcal/lb (78% NE of corn; NRC) or 1,212 kcal/lb (100% NE of corn). The treatments were structured as a completely randomized design. Treatments consisted of: 1) a diet containing a …


Effects Of Feeding Finishing Pig Diets Differing In Ca:P Ratio, Added Phytase And Vitamin D Sources On Growth Performance, Weight Variation, Serum 25(Oh)D3, Carcass Characteristics, Bone Characteristics, And Economics, Hilario M. Cordoba, Jason C. Woodworth, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Mike D. Tokach, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Jon R. Bergstrom Jan 2023

Effects Of Feeding Finishing Pig Diets Differing In Ca:P Ratio, Added Phytase And Vitamin D Sources On Growth Performance, Weight Variation, Serum 25(Oh)D3, Carcass Characteristics, Bone Characteristics, And Economics, Hilario M. Cordoba, Jason C. Woodworth, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Mike D. Tokach, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Jon R. Bergstrom

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 2,160 grow-finish pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 71.8 ± 1.4 lb) were used in a 114-d trial to determine the effects of feeding diets differing in Ca:P ratio and added phytase or phytase and 25(OH)D3(Hy-D, DSM Nutritional Products, Parsippany, NJ) on growth performance, weight variation, serum 25(OH)D3, bone characteristics, and economics. Pigs were housed in mixed gender pens with 27 pigs per pen and 20 pens per treatment. The four treatments were structured as a randomized complete block design and consisted of: 1) a high phosphorus (HP) diet formulated to a 1.25:1 …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 2,160 mixed-gender pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 54.8 ± 9.4 lb) were used in the 120-d study to compare feeding strategies (phase feeding vs. complete diet blending) at different SID Lys levels (90 vs. 100% of requirement estimates) on finishing pig growth performance, carcass characteristics, and economics. Pens of pigs were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments following a completely randomized block design with barn and initial body weight as blocking factors. The treatments included two feeding programs, a 5-phase feeding strategy at either 90% (Phase-90) or 100% of SID Lys requirement estimates (Phase-100); or …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 1,080 pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 58.4 ± 1.26 lb) were used in this 121-d experiment to determine the effects of added soybean meal (SBM) versus using an amino acid (AA) adjustment in diets with dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Pens were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design. There were 27 pigs per pen and 10 replications per treatment. Treatments diets consisted of: 1) a control diet containing high SBM with no DDGS; 2) DDGS-based diet with a medium level of SBM; …
