Evaluation Of Corn Protein Source On Feed Intake Preference In Nursery Pigs, Ethan B. Stas, Robert D. Goodband, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey, Jordan T. Gebhardt
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 180 pigs (241 × 600, DNA; initially 17.0 ±1.6 lb) were used to determine feed intake preference from various corn protein sources. A series of 5-day preference trials were used with two diets offered within each comparison with feeder location rotated daily within each pen. Feed consumption was used to determine preference between each diet comparison. There were 6 replicates of each diet comparison. The corn protein sources utilized in this experiment included: fermented corn protein, high protein distillers dried grains with solubles (HPDDGs), whole stillage solids (approximately 2/3 content of fermented corn protein), and thin stillage …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 21 litters (early or late maturing Duroc × DNA 241) and 247 pigs were used in 170-d trial to determine the effect of sire line growth pattern (early vs. late maturing) and creep feeding on the stress response, intestinal permeability, and growth performance of nursery and finishing pigs.Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 2 factorial with main effect of Duroc sire line (early or late maturing) and lactation creep feeding (with or without). Immediately after weaning (initially 14.0 lb), blood cortisol levels were increased (P<0.01) in late maturing pigs compared to early maturing pigs, indicating an increased stress response. A greater percentage (P<0.001) of late maturing pigs lost weight from d 0 to 3 post-weaning compared to early maturing pigs. Likewise, early maturing pigs had improved ADG (P<0.001) and ADFI (P<0.001) during the first 3 d in the nursery. A similar response was observed in daily feed intake with early maturing pigs having increased daily feed intake (P<0.001) for the first 14 d in the nursery. However, no differences were observed in intestinal permeability between treatments. For overall nursery growth performance, a significant interaction was observed for ADG (P= 0.007) and ADFI ( …

Measurement Of The Acid-Binding Capacity Of Common Ingredients And Complete Diets Intended For Weanling Pigs, Ethan B. Stas, Mike D. Tokach, Joel M. Derouchey, Jason C. Woodworth, Robert D. Goodband, Jordan T. Gebhardt
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Some ingredients bind more acid in the stomach than others which can increase gastric pH in weaned pigs, causing decreased protein digestion and allowing pathogenic microorganisms to proliferate. The objective of this experiment was to measure acid-binding capacity at a pH of 4 (ABC-4) of common nursery ingredients and determine additivity in diets. Ingredient categories included: cereal grains, vegetable proteins, animal proteins and milk, vitamin premixes and minerals, amino acids, and fiber sources. A 0.5 g sample of each ingredient was suspended in 50 mL of distilled deionized water and titrated with 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. Sample ABC-4 was calculated …
