The objective of this study was to determine how the time required to create a uniformly mixed batch of feed is influenced by diets that differ in bulk density. Three 60-lb batches of a corn-soybean meal—based diet (high bulk density) or a high-fiber diet (low bulk density) containing 30% dried distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS), and 19% wheat midds were prepared. The ingredients for each batch were placed in a 60-lb capacity experimental double-ribbon mixer with all batches containing 0.35% table salt. Ten samples were obtained from different parts of the mixer for each batch of feed after 60, 120, …

A total of 300 pigs (PIC 1050; initially 23.3 lb BW) were used in a 21-d study to compare the effects of increasing crystalline amino acids in sorghum- and corn-based diets on nursery pig growth performance. Treatments with 5 pigs per pen and 10 pens per treatment were arranged in a 2 × 3 factorial with main effects of grain source (sorghum vs. corn) and crystalline amino acid supplementation (low, medium, or high). Amino acid ratios to lysine as well as standardized ileal digestibility coefficients used were set by NRC (20123). Because replacing increasing amounts of soybean meal with crystalline …

A total of 160 finishing pigs (PIC 327 × 1050; initially 100.5 lb) were used in an 84-d experiment to evaluate the effects of dietary fat source and feeding duration on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and fat quality. Dietary treatments included a corn-soybean meal control diet with no added fat or a 3 × 3 factorial with main effects of fat source (4% tallow, 4% soybean oil, or a blend of 2% tallow and 2% soybean oil) and feeding duration (d 0 to 42, 42 to 84, or 0 to 84). One pig was identified in each pen on d …
Effects Of Different Feed Mills And Conditioning Temperature Of Pelleted Diets On Nursery Pig Performance And Feed Preference From 14 To 50 Lb (2014), Jon A. De Jong, Joel M. Derouchey, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Steven S. Dritz
Effects Of Different Feed Mills And Conditioning Temperature Of Pelleted Diets On Nursery Pig Performance And Feed Preference From 14 To 50 Lb (2014), Jon A. De Jong, Joel M. Derouchey, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Steven S. Dritz
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 644 pigs (PIC 1050 or 327 × 1050, initial BW~14 lb) were used in 3 experiments to determine possible explanations for poorer pig performance in previous studies with pigs fed pelleted diets compared with those fed meal diets. Therefore, we examined feed pelleted from different mills as well as conditioning temperature as factors influencing our previous results. In Experiment 1, pens of pigs were randomly allotted to 1 of 3 dietary treatments with 10 pens per treatment and 7 pigs per pen. The 3 dietary treatments used the identical corn-soybean meal—based formulation and were mixed from the …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Meta-analyses used data from existing literature to generate equations to predict finishing pig back, belly, and jowl fat iodine value (IV) followed by a prospective study to validate these equations. The final database included 24, 21, and 29 papers for back, belly, and jowl fat IV, respectively. For experiments that changed dietary fatty acid composition, initial diets (INT) were defined as those fed before the change in diet composition and final diets (FIN) were those fed after. The predictor variables tested were divided into 5 groups: (1) diet fat composition (dietary % C16:1, C18:1, C18:2, C18:3, essential fatty acid [EFA], …
Effects Of Feeding Different Dietary Net Energy Levels To Growing-Finishing Pigs When Dietary Lysine Is Adequate (2014), Sureemas Nitikanchana, Steven S. Dritz, Michael D. Tokach, Joel M. Derouchey, Robert D. Goodband, Bradley J. White

A total of 543 pigs (PIC 1050 × 327: PIC Hendersonville, TN) were used in 2 consecutive experiments with initial BW of 105 and 125 lb in Experiments 1 and 2, respectively. The objective was to validate the regression equations predicting growth rate and feed efficiency of growing-finishing pigs based on dietary NE content by comparing actual and predicted performance. Thus, the 5 treatments included diets with: (1) 30% dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS), 20% wheat middlings, and 4 to 5% soybean hulls (low-energy); (2) 20% wheat middlings and 4 to 5% soybean hulls (low-energy); (3) a corn-soybean meal …
