Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two trials involving 105 finishing pigs (initial average weight 125 pounds) and 55 growing pigs (initial average weight 28 pounds) were conducted to determine the nutritional value of high-moisture, acid-treated milo in swine rations. Additionally, feeding method (complete mixed or free-choice) and processing method (ground or whole) were compared. The high-moisture milo (22% moisture) was treated with either propionic acid (P.A.) 0.6% w/w, or ammonium isobutyrate (AIB) 1.75% w/w. Pigs fed high-moisture, acid-treated milo as a complete mixed ration gained at the same rate and were just as efficient in feed utilization as pigs fed the dry, complete mixed ration. …
