Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two trials were conducted to determine the effects of irradiation of spray-dried blood meal and animal plasma on nursery pig growth performance. In Exp. 1, irradiation of spray-dried blood meal resulted in improved ADG and F/G and tended to increase ADFI for the 14 d experiment. The majority of the increase in growth performance occurred during the first week of the trial. In Exp. 2, ADG and ADFI were increased from d 0 to 10 for pigs fed irradiated spray-dried animal plasma compared to pigs fed regular spray-dried animal plasma. In addition, we observed differences in growth performance between different …

Influence Of Dry, Extruded-Expelled Soybean Meal From Different Manufacturers On Growth Performance Of Nursery Pigs (2000), J C. Woodworth, M U. Steidinger, Joel M. Derouchey, Michael D. Tokach, Jim L. Nelssen, Robert D. Goodband
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 150 pigs (initially 22 lb; 42 d of age) was used to determine the influence of dry, extruded-expelled soybean meal from three different manufacturers on growth performance of pigs. No differences were observed for ADG, ADFI, or F/G between any of the sources. All three sources resulted in performance similar to that with a cornsoybean meal diet with added fat. These results confirm the accuracy of the energy values published in the 1998 Swine Day Report for dry, extruded-expelled soybean meal.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 16, 2000

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A 24-d growth study was conducted to evaluate the effects of low rates of a dietary acidifier, calcium propionate, on weanling pig growth performance. Experimental diets, fed from d 0 to 10, were a control diet with no acidifier, the control diet with 4 lb/ton of Kemgest, or the control diet with 4 or 8 lb/ton calcium propionate. From d 10 to 24, pigs were fed a common phase II diet containing no acidifier. Adding a low rate of acidifier to the diet had no influence on pig performance.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 16, 2000
Market Versus Formula-Derived Prices For Segregated Early-Weaned Pigs (2000), Kevin C. Dhuyvetter
Market Versus Formula-Derived Prices For Segregated Early-Weaned Pigs (2000), Kevin C. Dhuyvetter
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A formula for deriving the price of segregated early-weaned (SEW) pigs using prices of grain, soybean meal, and market hog was estimated based on return on investment being equal for all three phases of production—farrowing, nursery, and finishing. The USDA- reported SEW pig prices were compared with formula-derived prices. The level of correlation between these two series was sensitive to how prices of grain, soybean meal, and market hog were chosen. Using expected prices in the formula resulted in SEW prices that were correlated strongly with reported market prices. Using hindsight cash prices in the formula resulted in SEW formula …
Optimal Parity Distribution – When Is The Best Time To Cull Sows? (2000), Kevin C. Dhuyvetter
Optimal Parity Distribution – When Is The Best Time To Cull Sows? (2000), Kevin C. Dhuyvetter
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The economic impact of alternative sowculling strategies was examined by simulating costs and returns for a farrowing-to-weaning swine operation. Culling strategies considered were to sell sows after parity 1 (P1) through parity 10 (P10). These 10 culling strategies resulted in different parity distributions. The optimal parity distribution is a complex issue, because it is related to conception rates, litter size, feed intake, as well as other factors. Results of this analysis indicate that the most economical time to cull a sow is after her eighth or ninth parity. This results in a breeding herd comprised of 18 to 20% gilts …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
One hundred forty-four finishing pigs were used to determine the influence of added dietary niacin on their growth performance and meat quality. Gilts grew slower, ate less, and were more efficient than barrows for the entire growth performance period. Increasing dietary niacin levels to 25 g/ton increased ADG in gilts for the first 25 days, but decreased ADG for barrows. No other interactions occurred. From d 25 to 62, ADFI tended to increase for pigs fed up to 100 g/ton niacin, whereas pigs fed 500 g/ton niacin ate less. Dietary niacin level did not significantly affect carcass yield or quality …

Variation In The Digestibility Of Amino Acids In Soybean Meal From A Single Processing Plant (2000), D J. Lee, C A. Maloney, D W. Dean, H Cao, Joe D. Hancock, Joel M. Derouchey
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Digestibilities of amino acids among samples of soybean meal (SBM) collected during a fall harvest season (4 collections made 15 d apart) were similar, except that true digestibility from tryptophan was lower for a sample collected on d 30 of the experiment vs SMB samples collected on the other dates. Our data suggest that proximate components and amino acid digestibilities of the SBM were very consistent and uniform during the 45 d of sample collection in one processing plant.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 16, 2000
