Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 144 weanling pigs (initially 14.1 lb and 24 d of age) was used to compare three different blood meal sources in starter diets. The three sources included spray-dried porcine, spray-dried bovine, and flash-dried bovine blood meal. Each diet contained 10% dried whey and 2.5% of one of the three blood meal sources. Diets were formulated to contain 1.25%lysine and .31% methionine. Pigs receiving diets containing either source of spray-dried blood meal had improved average daily gain and feed efficiency during the first 2 weeks of the experiment and the overall trial compared to pigs receiving diets containing …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 744 pigs (initially 12.8 lb and 22 d of age) was used in a 28 d trial to determine the effects of increasing levels of blood meal in the phase II (d 7 to 28) diet. Pigs were allotted by sex and weight and placed in pens containing 13 to 14 pigs each. A common phase I diet was fed for the first 7 days postweaning. The phase I diet contained 37.5% dried whey and 7.5% porcine plasma and was formulated to contain 1.5% lysine. After the phase I period, pigs were assigned to one of six …
