Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

This study was conducted to determine the effects of a multi-species direct-fed microbial product based on lactic acid bacteria and Bacillus subtilis on growth performance and carcass characteristics of grow-finish pigs. A total of 1,188 pigs (PIC 359 × 1050; initially 57 lb BW) were used in a 121-d growth trial with 27 pigs per pen and 22 pens per treatment. Pigs were allotted to treatments based on initial body weight (BW) in a randomized complete block design. The two experimental diets were Control and Biowish (BIOWISH MultiBio 3P, BIOWISH Technologies Inc., Cincinnati, OH). The diets were based on corn, …


The Effect Of Phase-Feeding Strategies On Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Growing-Finishing Pigs: I. Lysine Levels At The Estimated Requirement, M. B. Menegat, S. S. Dritz, M. D. Tokach, J. C. Woodworth, J. M. Derouchey, R. D. Goodband Jan 2018

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The objective of this study was to evaluate phase-feeding strategies for grow-finish pigs under commercial research conditions and using lysine levels closely set to the pig’s requirement estimates for maximum growth performance. A total of 1,188 pigs (PIC 359 × 1050; initially 60.4 lb body weight (BW)) were used in a randomized complete block design with 27 pigs per pen and 11 pens per treatment. Treatments consisted of four feeding programs: a 1-phase feeding program with 0.82% standardized ileal digestible (SID) lysine from 60 to 280 lb BW; a 2-phase feeding program with 0.96 and 0.77% SID lysine from 60 …


The Effect Of Phase-Feeding Strategies On Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Growing-Finishing Pigs: Ii. Field Approach On Lysine Levels, M. B. Menegat, S. S. Dritz, M. D. Tokach, J. C. Woodworth, J. M. Derouchey, R. D. Goodband Jan 2018

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

The objective of this study was to evaluate phase-feeding strategies for grow-finish pigs under commercial research conditions and using a field approach with lysine levels slightly below the pig’s requirement estimates for maximum growth performance. A total of 1,100 pigs (PIC 359 × 1050; initially 57 lb body weight (BW)) were used in a randomized complete block design with 25 pigs per pen and 11 pens per treatment. Treatments consisted of four feeding programs: a 1-phase feeding program with 0.79% standardized ileal digestible (SID) lysine from 60 to 280 lb BW; a 2-phase feeding program with 0.91 and 0.72% SID …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

It is with great pleasure that we present the 2018 Swine Industry Day Report of Progress. This report contains updates and summaries of applied and basic research conducted at Kansas State University during the past year. We hope that the information will be of benefit as we attempt to meet the needs of the Kansas swine industry.


Effects Of Standardized Ileal Digestible Histidine:Lysine Ratio On Growth Performance Of 15- To 25-Lb Pigs, H. S. Cemin, R. M. Karns, C. M. Vier, M. D. Tokach, S. S. Dritz, K. J. Touchette, J. C. Woodworth, J. M. Derouchey, R. D. Goodband Jan 2018

Effects Of Standardized Ileal Digestible Histidine:Lysine Ratio On Growth Performance Of 15- To 25-Lb Pigs, H. S. Cemin, R. M. Karns, C. M. Vier, M. D. Tokach, S. S. Dritz, K. J. Touchette, J. C. Woodworth, J. M. Derouchey, R. D. Goodband

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Two experiments were conducted to determine the standardized ileal digestible (SID) His:Lys requirement of 15- to 25-lb nursery pigs. A total of 360 and 350 pigs (DNA 241 × 600), initially 15.6 and 14.5 lb body weight (BW), were used in Exp. 1 and 2, respectively. There were 5 pigs per pen and 12 and 10 replicates per treatment in Exp. 1 and 2, respectively. After weaning, pigs were fed a common pelleted diet for 10 d in Exp. 1 and 7 d in Exp. 2. Then, pens were assigned to treatments in a randomized complete block design with BW …


Effects Of Insoluble Fiber Source (Cellulose Or Distillers Dried Grains With Solubles) On Growth Performance Of Nursery Pigs, H. S. Cemin, M. D. Tokach, S. S. Dritz, J. C. Woodworth, J. M. Derouchey, R. D. Goodband Jan 2018

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 3,171 weanling pigs (PIC 327 × L42) with an initial body weight (BW) of 12.7 lb were used in a 39-d study with 66 or 67 pigs per fence-line feeder (experimental unit) and 12 replicates per treatment. Pens were blocked by BW and allotted to 1 of 4 dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design. The treatment structure was a 2 × 2 factorial with 0 or 1% cellulose (Arbocel, J. Rettenmaier USA, Schoolcraft, MI) and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS; 0 or 5% in Phase 1 and 0 or 15% in Phase 2). Dietary …
