In finishing pigs, waxy sorghum had lower digestibilities for DM and GE than the other genotypes. Also, the hard sorghums were more digestible (P<.06) than the medium hardness sorghum. In broiler chicks, the waxy sorghum was similar to the other genotypes for growth performance and nutrient digestibility. The soft sorghum was superior to the medium and hard genotypes for nutrient retention but not for growth performance. Fine grinding improved F/G and increased retention of nutrients and steam-flaked sorghum supported greater growth performance than extruded sorghum.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Castrates were predictably less efficient, had greater ADFI, and tended to have more BF than contemporary boars. Castration decreased detection of boar taint, but alterations of dietary CP, pH, and antimicrobial level from 225 to 276 lb had no effect on sensory panel perception of odor from fat of intact males.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Eighty-four crossbred gilts were used to examine the effects of increasing dietary additions of poultry fat (PF) or choice white grease (CWG) on longissimus muscle (LM), belly, and bacon quality. Pigs fed PF had greater LM cooking loss values than those fed CWG. As PF increased in the diet, LM Minolta L* and belly lean values decreased. then increased. Neither fat source nor level significantly affected other LM quality or sensory traits. As PF increased, bacon slicing score decreased. Although all taste panel scores were well within acceptable ranges, bacon from pigs fed PF had higher sensory panel "off flavor" …
Effects Of Sorghum Endosperm Hardness And Processing On Growth Performance And Nutrient Digestibility In Pigs And Broiler Chicks (1998), H Cao, Robert H. Hines, J S. Park, B W. Senne, J M. Jiang, J R. Froetschner, P Sorrell, Joe D. Hancock, Keith C. Behnke

In nursery pigs, the greatest digestibilities of DM, N, and OE were observed with soft sorghum. In finishing pigs, no difference was observed in digestibility of nutrients among the sorghum genotypes. Chicks fed soft sorghum had better F/G than chicks fed medium and hard sorghum. Finally, thermal processing (steam flaking and extrusion) improved ADG and F/G and digestibilities of DM, N, and GE compared to grinding (coarse and fine).; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998
Effects Of Enzyme Supplementation And Particle Size Of Wheat-Based Diets On Nursery And Finishing Pigs (1998), I Mavromichalis, G A. Kennedy, Robert H. Hines, B W. Senne, S P. Sorrell, Joe D. Hancock, Joel M. Derouchey

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
In nursery pigs, enzyme supplementation generally had no effect on ADG or F/G, but a trend occurred for greater digestibility of DM in pigs fed enzymes. However, one notable interaction occurred. Enzyme supplementation gave improved F/G at the coarser (l,300 mm) particle size but not at the finer (600 or 400 mm) particle sizes. In finishing pigs, trends for better F/G and digestibilities of DM and N with enzyme supplementation occurred in one experiment (1,300 vs 600 mm) but not in the other experiment (600 vs 400). Thus, the effects of enzyme supplementation were neither large nor consistent, but wheat …

Thirty-five growing pigs (initially 65 ± 2 lb) were used in a metabolism study to determine the effects of a single enteric disease challenge on N retention, growth performance, and blood immunological variables. Twenty-one pigs were challenged with Salmonella typhimurium, and six pigs were assigned to an ad libitum-fed, nonchallenged control group. Eight additional nonchallenged pigs were pair-fed the feed intake of an S. typhimurium challenged counterpart. There were five 4 d collection periods (d 4 to 7, d 8 to 11, d 12 to 15, d 16 to 19, and d 22 to 25), with the S. typhimurium challenge …
Effects Of Magnesium Silicate (Talc) On Feed Flow Characteristics And Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, And Stomach Morphology In Finishing Pigs (1998), S P. Sorrell, S L. Traylor, S L. Johnston, I H. Kim, Robert H. Hines, G A. Kennedy, Joe D. Hancock

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Talc did not affect growth performance, carcass characteristics, or stomach ulceration in finishing pigs. Feeder bridging scores and coefficients of static force (the force needed to result in particle movement) were increased with added talc, both of which indicate reduced feed flowability. In a second experiment, reducing particle size from 1,050 microns to 450 microns increased the coefficients of static force, dynamic force, and angle of repose. Adding talc to either particle size diet did not improve feed flow characteristics.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Some swine practitioners are advocating the use of dietary acidifiers to reduce urine pH and, thereby, reduce the incidence of urinary tract infections. In our experiment, sows fed an inorganic (phosphoric) acid had lower urine pH than sows fed diets with organic (fumaric, lactic, formic, propionic, and citric) acids. Indeed, the organic acids at 1.5% and 3.0% of the diet increased blood pH and decreased pC02,indicating that these sows were in a more alkalotic (not acidotic) state.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Influence Of Spirulina Platensis On Growth Performance Of Weanling Pigs (1998), G S. Grinstead, J Sawyer, K Maxwell, R Stott, A Moser, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We conducted three experiments to evaluate the influence of an algal feed additive, Spirulina platensis, on weanling pig performance. Two experiments conducted under commercial production conditions indicated a response to Spirulina platensis in meal-based diets but not pelleted diets. Another experiment concluded that Spirulina platensis tended to improve F/G early in the trial but not for cumulative performance. Results of these three experiments suggest that Spirulina platensis added at low inclusions to the diet may enhance performance. However, the results lacked consistency across experiments and warrant further investigation.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Three hundred arid fifty three lactating sows were used to determine the effects of increased dietary lysine on sow and litter performance. At farrowing, sows were assigned to com-soybean meal lactation diets consisting of either 1.0 or 1.3% total lysine. A treatment by parity interaction was observed, with first parity sows fed 1.3% lysine having heavier litter weaning weights than sows fed 1.00/0 lysine. Surprisingly, third and fourth parity sows fed 1.3% lysine had lower litter weaning weights than those fed 1.0% lysine. No other treatment by parity interactions existed. No differences were observed in the number of pigs weaned …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
We conducted a 28-d experiment to evaluate effects of increasing dietary pantothenic acid on growth performance of segregated early-weaned pigs. Pigs (initially 8.8 ± 2.21b and 11 ± 2 d of age) were fed a control diet (no added pantothenic acid) or the control diet with 30, 60, and 120 ppm of added pantothenic acid. Increasing pantothenic acid increased ADG and ADFI linearly from dO to 14 after weaning. However, from d 14 to 28 after weaning, pigs fed 60 mg/kg of added pantothenic acid tended to have the greatest ADG and ADFI. For the cumulative period (d 0to 28 …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Three hundred-six sows were used to evaluate effects of the interrelationship among valine, isoleucine, and leucine on sow and litter performance. Eight dietary treatments were arranged as a 2x2x2 factorial with two levels of valine (.80 and 1.20%), isoleucine (.68 and 1.08%), and leucine (1.57 and 1.97%). Litter weaning weight, litter weight gain from d 2 to weaning, and sow backfat loss increased as dietary valine increased but were not affected by dietary isoleucine or leucine. Increasing dietary valine, isoleucine, or leucine did not affect milk fat, DM, CP, or lactose. These results confirm the importance of dietary valine for …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Seventy two early-weaned pigs (initially 12.4 lb) were used in a 14-d growth trial to evaluate a control diet (no added spray-dried egg albumin or animal plasma) or the control diet with 5% spray-dried plasma, 7% spraydried egg albumin~ or 2.5% spray-dried plasma plus 3.5% spray-dried egg albumin. Pigs fed 5% spray-dried animal plasma had greater ADG and improved F/G compared with those fed 7% spray-dried egg albumin, whereas pigs fed the control or a blend of spray-dried egg albumin plus spray-dried animal plasma had intermediate performance. These results suggest that the spray-dried egg albumin used is not an effective …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
In our first experiment, digestibilities for DM, N, and GE were greater and F/G was better for pigs fed pelleted diets than for pigs fed meal diets. However, we observed no advantages in ADG or F/G with long-term conditioning. In a second experiment, pelleting once again improved nutrient digestibility and F/G. Expander conditioning improved digestibilities of DM, N, and GE but not growth performance compared to standard conditioning.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Results of these studies suggest that experimental high molecular weight, whey protein concentrate can be an effective replacement for spray-dried animal plasma in diets for weanling pigs. Increasing spray-dried animal plasma improved ADG and ADFI quadratically, with the maximum response observed with 2.5% in 21-d-old pigs or 5.0% in 12-d-old pigs. The specialty whey protein concentrate fed from d 0 to 14 after weaning resulted in similar responses as spray-dried animal plasma fed during the same period and may be an effective alternative.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

Compared to a corn-soybean meal control, added-fat from tallow, soybean oil, and dry-extruded whole soybeans (DEWS) improved ADG, F/G, and digestibility of DM and N. Feeding tallow increased belly firmness but also increased backfat thickness compared to diets with soy oil and DEWS. Comparisons among soybean genotypes indicated that high oleic acid soybeans supported greater growth performance than soybeans with high palmitic acid content. However, soybean genotype had no effect on carcass or meat quality measurements.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998

A complex diet formulation resulted in greater digestibility of nutrients and a trend for greater ADG for d 0 to 14 of the experiment. However, for d 14 to 28 and overall (d o to 28), diet complexity did not affect growth performance. In contrast, pelleting improved essentially every response criterion especially in simple diets. Expander conditioning before pelleting increased overall digestibility of nutrients and of F/G compared to standard conditioning, but again, the response was most pronounced with the simple diet formulations.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 19, 1998
