Survey Of Pork Products Available To Consumers (1996), S Hollinger, John A. Unruh Jan 1996

Survey Of Pork Products Available To Consumers (1996), S Hollinger, John A. Unruh

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A survey was conducted to investigate the variety and price per pound of pork products available to consumers. The survey was conducted in the largest store of each of the three leading supermarket chains in Manhattan, KS. The 217.3 pork products per store (642 total) were categorized into fresh pork, smoked/cured pork, sausages, lunch meats, and pastry/pork combinations, which represented 7.4, 13.9, 32.5, 20.4, and 24.4% of the pork products surveyed, respectively. Retail cuts from the loin were the most numerous and highest priced in the fresh pork category. Retail cuts from the ham and belly (bacon) were the most …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Diets that had been processed using standard, long-term, and expander (high shear) conditioning tended to support greater ADG than an unconditioned meal control diet. Pelleting was necessary to maximize efficiency of growth, but only with standard and long-term conditioning. Indeed, the best efficiencies of gain were for pigs fed the expander processed diets, with no additional benefits from pelleting the expanded mash.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 21, 1996

Use Of Sorghum-Based Distillers Grains In Diets For Nursery And Finishing Pigs (1996), B W. Senne, I Mavromichalis, S L. Johnston, P S. Sorrell, I H. Kim, Robert H. Hines, Joe D. Hancock Jan 1996

Use Of Sorghum-Based Distillers Grains In Diets For Nursery And Finishing Pigs (1996), B W. Senne, I Mavromichalis, S L. Johnston, P S. Sorrell, I H. Kim, Robert H. Hines, Joe D. Hancock

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Two experiments were conducted to etermine the effects of sorghum-based distillers dried grains with solubles in isocaloric diets for nursery and finishing pigs. Rate and efficiency of gain in nursery pigs were decreased with 45% or more distillers grains. For finishing pigs, efficiency of gain was improved as distillers grains was increased to 60% of the diet, and carcass fatness was increased by about .1 inch at the highest concentration.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 21, 1996

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

In Exp. 1, increasing dietary lysine from .40% to .70% linearly improved ADG, F/G, 10th rib fat depth, and percentage lean in finishing gilts from 200 to 250 lb. Increasing dietary lysine also tended to improve longissimus muscle area. Results from Exp. 2 indicate no improvement in growth or carcass performance of gilts fed greater than .60% lysine. The combined results of Exp. 1 and 2 indicate that finishing gilts from 200 to 250 lb requires between .60% to .70% (18 to 20 g/d) dietary lysine to maximize both growth performance and carcass characteristics.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 21, …

Effects Of Fat And Sodium Bicarbonate On Growth Performance And Stomach Morphology In Finishing Pigs (1996), S P. Sorrell, I H. Kim, Robert H. Hines, G A. Kennedy, L L. Burnham, Joe D. Hancock

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Pigs fed diets with soybean oil consumed less feed; grew more efficiently; and had greater last-rib backfat thickness, keratosis, and ulceration in their stomachs than pigs fed diets without soybean oil. Pigs fed diets with NaHC03 tended to eat more feed and had numerically greater ADG, but feed/gain and carcass measurements were not affected. NaHC03 decreased ulceration scores only for pigs fed diets without added fat.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 21, 1996

Removing Vitamin And Trace Mineral Premixes From Finisher Diets (154 To 247 Lb) Did Not Affect Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Or Meat Quality (1996), I H. Kim, J H. Lee, J S. Park, Donald H. Kropf, S L. Johnston, P Sorrell, Robert H. Hines, Joe D. Hancock Jan 1996

Removing Vitamin And Trace Mineral Premixes From Finisher Diets (154 To 247 Lb) Did Not Affect Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Or Meat Quality (1996), I H. Kim, J H. Lee, J S. Park, Donald H. Kropf, S L. Johnston, P Sorrell, Robert H. Hines, Joe D. Hancock

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Average daily gain; ADFI; F/G; dressing percentage; tenth rib fat thickness and depth; and color, firmness, and marbling of the longissimus muscle were not influenced by omitting the vitamin and(or) trace mineral premixes from diets during finishing (154 to 247 lb). Thus, omitting vitamin and trace mineral premixes can decrease diet costs without decreasing performance or meat quality of high-lean pigs.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 21, 1996

Effects Of Spray-Dried Blood Cells In Lactation Diets On Sow And Litter Performance (1996), E Weaver, Michael D. Tokach, Jim L. Nelssen, Robert D. Goodband, Steven S. Dritz Jan 1996

Effects Of Spray-Dried Blood Cells In Lactation Diets On Sow And Litter Performance (1996), E Weaver, Michael D. Tokach, Jim L. Nelssen, Robert D. Goodband, Steven S. Dritz

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

High producing sows were used to evaluate the effect of spray-dried blood cells as a dietary protein source on lactation performance and subsequent reproductive performance. No significant differences were observed between sows fed a corn-soybean cells-based diet or a diet containing 2.5% spray-dried blood cells for lactation performance or subsequent reproductive performance. Therefore, spray-dried blood cells can be used as a partial replacelnent for the protein source in lactation diets.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 21, 1996

Influence Of Lysine Concentration On Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Finishing Pigs (1996), Robert D. Goodband, Michael D. Tokach, Jim L. Nelssen, Steven S. Dritz Jan 1996

Influence Of Lysine Concentration On Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of Finishing Pigs (1996), Robert D. Goodband, Michael D. Tokach, Jim L. Nelssen, Steven S. Dritz

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

We used a total of 11,653 pigs to examine the influence of a lysine phase-feeding regimen on growth performance and carcass characteristics in finishing pigs. We found that the lysine regimen did not affect ADG. Also, the low-lysine regimen was adequate for maximizing growth performance and carcass characteristics of barrows. However, the low-lysine regimen was inadequate to optimize feed efficiency in gilts. Further analysis indicated that the largest differences in feed efficiency were for the 115 to 160 lb period in gilts. Later in the growth period, feed efficiency of gilts was similar across dietary lysine regimens.; Swine Day, Manhattan, …

Effects Of Split-Nursing Management On Growth Performance In Nursing Pigs (1996), T S. Donovan, Steven S. Dritz Jan 1996

Effects Of Split-Nursing Management On Growth Performance In Nursing Pigs (1996), T S. Donovan, Steven S. Dritz

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

We evaluated the effects of split nursing the lightest 50% of pigs per litter or the lightest and heaviest 50% of pigs per litter at birth on growth performance until weaning. We did not observe any effects of split nursing on growth performance in pigs from litter sizes<9 at birth. Additionally, we did not observe a difference in mean ADG or pig weight at weaning. However, we did observe a reduction in the variation of ADG between litters. The resulting decrease in variation leads to approximately a 55% (1.3 vs 3.0) reduction in pigs weighing less than 8 lb at weaning. We conclude that the greatest economic benefits are derived from split nursing the lightest 50% of pigs from litter sizes greater than or equal to 9.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 21, 1996

Trees Of History In Systematics And Philology, Robert O’Hara

Robert J. O’Hara

«The Natural System» is the name given to the underlying arrangement present in the diversity of life. Unlike a classification, which is made up of classes and members, a system or arrangement is an integrated whole made up of connected parts. In the pre-evolutionary period a variety of forms were proposed for the Natural System, including maps, circles, stars, and abstract multidimensional objects. The trees sketched by Darwin in the 1830s should probably be considered the first genuine evolutionary diagrams of the Natural System—the first genuine evolutionary trees. Darwin refined his image of the Natural System in the well-known evolutionary …
