Is The Total Sulfur Amino Acid:Lysine Ratio For Lactating Sows Greater Than 50%? (2005), J D. Schneider, Jim L. Nelssen, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Steven S. Dritz
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 75 lactating sows were used in a study to determine whether the ratio of total sulfur amino acid (TSAA) to lysine calculated from the NRC (1998) is adequate for lactating sows. Low and high sulfur amino acid diets were formulated to contain a (true ileal digestible (TID) TSAA content of 0.44 or 0.57%, respectively. Both experimental diets were based on corn and soybean meal and were formulated to contain 0.88% TID lysine (0.97% total lysine). Thus, the TID TSAA:lysine ratios were 50 and 65% for the two experimental diets, respectively. Both experimental diets contained 0.37% L-lysine HCl, …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 280 pigs were used in a 28-d growth study to evaluate the effects of feeding the antimicrobial carbadox, BIOSAF (0.4%), and the combination of carbadox and BIOSAF yeast (0.15%) in nursery pig diets. Over the length of the entire trial, pigs fed the diet containing carbadox alone had greater ADG than did pigs fed the control diet or the diet containing 0.4% BIOSAF. Overall, pigs fed the diet containing both carbadox and 0.15% BIOSAF had greater ADG than did pigs fed the control diet or the diet containing 0.4% BIOSAF (P<0.04), although their growth performance did not differ from that of pigs fed carbadox alone. Antibody titers in response to routine vaccination against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae were not affected by dietary treatment. There was no evidence that BIOSAF improved growth performance of nursery pigs, either alone or in combination with the carbadox. It is possible that the interactive effects of BIOSAF that have been reported for other in-feed antibiotics are not present when BIOSAF is combined with carbadox, or perhaps interactive effects are only observed when carbadox itself exerts a more potent stimulation of ADG in nursery pigs.; Swine Day, 2005, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 2005

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Forty pork carcass sides were assigned to one of four treatments: pre-rigor citrate (CIT) or acetate (ACE) injection, post-rigor phosphate plus salt (PHOS) injection, and noninjected control (CON). Loins in 20 sides were injected 50 min post-mortem with 4% solutions of CIT or ACE to approximately 110% of projected loin weights, and 10 PHOS-treated loins were injected at 24 h postmortem to 106.6% with a 4.4% PHOS plus 2.2% salt solution. Although CIT increased pH (P0.05) glycolytic metabolite concentrations. The pH increase in CIT-injected muscle was most likely due to its buffering ability rather than glycolytic inhibition. Citrate improved tenderness …

Porcine Reproductive And Respiratory Syndrome: Characteristic Features Of The Infected Fetus (2005), Raymond R. Rowland R, Jerome C. Nietfeld, Steven S. Dritz
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Pregnant gilts were infected at 90 days of gestation with porcine reproductive and respiratory virus (PRRSV) isolate SD-23983. Fetuses recovered between 109 and 112 days of gestation were analyzed for the presence of PRRSV. The results showed that not all fetuses were infected, and that infected fetuses tended to be clustered within the uterine horns, suggesting that virus is spread from fetus to fetus. Even though affected litters exhibited different degrees of gross pathology, the presence of an anatomical abnormality was not an identifier of an infected fetus. Analysis of virus replication in individual tissues identified the thymus as the …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 239 sows (PIC C-22) were used in this experiment. Sows were randomly allotted to one of the two experimental treatments approximately 5 days before their expected farrowing date. Control sows did not receive any topdress; sows on the WEANMOR+® treatment received a single daily topdress of 25 g of WEANMOR+®. Topdressing the sow feed with WEANMOR+® reduced (P<0.06) urine pH, but number of total pigs born, mummied, fostered, died, or weaned were not influenced by treatment (P>0.67). There was a parity group-by-stillborn interaction (P<0.10) in which feeding WEANMOR+® reduced the number of stillborn pigs in the parity 2 to 5 sows, with a numeric increase in stillborns when WEANMOR+® was fed to sows that were parity 6 and over.; Swine Day, 2005, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 2005

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Oxytocin is frequently used to decrease farrowing time and birth interval as an aid to prevent stillbirths, but recent research has shown that oxytocin use can increase the number of pigs stillborn when used too early in the birth process. The research indicated that the reason for increased stillbirths was an increased number of ruptured umbilical cords, leading to compromise of the pigs' oxygen supply during the birth process. Oxytocin usage should be limited to older-parity sows and the last half of the birth order.; Swine Day, 2005, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, 2005

A total of 210 nursery pigs (PIC L327 × L42), with an initial weight of 11.9 lb and 21 d of age, were used in a 28-d growth study. The objective was to evaluate the effects of increasing oregano oil in diets for nursery pigs. Oregano oil is an extract derived from the Greek herb, Origanum vulgare, and has been speculated to have antimicrobial-like activity. Previous research at Kansas State University showed no improvement in growth performance in nursery pigs fed oregano oil (0.10% in the Phase 1 diet, and 0.05% in Phase 2). The present study evaluated growth performance …

Although the importance of thoroughly mixing diets is often emphasized, little data is available to quantify the impact of inadequate mixing on pig growth performance. Therefore, a 28-d trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of mixing time on growth performance of nursery pigs. A total of 180 weanling pigs (13.9 ± 1.8 lb BW, 21± 3 d of age) were used, with 6 pigs per pen and 6 pens per treatment. Experimental treatments consisted of mixing a diet for 0, 30, 60, 120 or 330 s in a horizontal ribbon mixer. Diets were fed in two phases (d 0 …
