Influence Of Herbal Active D On Nursery Pig Growth Performance, Larissa L. Becker, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Jordan T. Gebhardt Jan 2023

Influence Of Herbal Active D On Nursery Pig Growth Performance, Larissa L. Becker, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Jordan T. Gebhardt

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 2,268 pigs (L337 × 1050 PIC; initially 12.1 ± 0.39 lb) were used in a 42-d growth study to evaluate the effects of herbal active D on growth performance, bone characteristics, and serum parameters of nursery pigs. Pigs were weaned at approximately 21 d of age and randomly allotted to 1 of 3 dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design. A total of 84 pens were used with 27 pigs per pen and 28 replications per treatment across 2 rooms. Pens were blocked by BW and weaning date. Dietary treatments were corn-soybean meal-based and fed in …


Evaluating Hiphorius Phytase In Two Diet Formulation Strategies On Finishing Pig Growth Performance, Serum Chemistry, Bone Mineralization, And Carcass Characteristics, Macie E. Reeb, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey, Mike D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Jon R. Bergstrom Jan 2023

Evaluating Hiphorius Phytase In Two Diet Formulation Strategies On Finishing Pig Growth Performance, Serum Chemistry, Bone Mineralization, And Carcass Characteristics, Macie E. Reeb, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey, Mike D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Jon R. Bergstrom

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of HiPhorius (DSM Nutritional Products, Parsippany, NJ) phytase on finishing pig growth performance, serum chemistry, bone mineralization, and carcass characteristics. In Exp. 1, 1,161 pigs (PIC 337 × 1050; initially 80.9. ± 1.06 lb) were used in a 105-d trial. There were 27 pigs per pen and 10 or 11 replications per treatment. Treatments consisted of: 1) Control diet with no added phytase and formulated to NRC (2012) requirement estimates for standard total tract digestible (STTD) P; 2) 600 FYT/kg added phytase formulated to the same STTD P as the control diet …


Evaluating The Effects Of Sodium Diformate On Finishing Pig Growth Performance, Katelyn N. Gaffield, Mike D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Mariana B. Menegat, Mary Liebenstein, Matt Allerson Jan 2023

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 2,200 pigs (Duroc sire (PIC 800 or DNA 600) × PIC Camborough; initially 53.4 ± 0.66 lb) were used to conduct a 117-d growth trial to evaluate the effects of dietary sodium diformate level on grow-finish pig growth performance and carcass characteristics. Pens of pigs (25 pigs per pen) were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design with 22 replicates per treatment. Dietary treatments were corn-soybean meal-based with the addition of none, 0.25, 0.50, or 0.75% sodium diformate (Formi NDF; ADDCON Nordic AS, Porsgrunn, Norway). Diets were fed in 6 …


Effect Of Sulfate Or Hydroxychloride Forms Of Zinc, Manganese, And Copper On Growth Performance, Weight Variation, Carcass Characteristics, And Economics Of Grow-Finish Pigs, Hilario M. Cordoba, Jason C. Woodworth, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Mike D. Tokach, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Chris P.A. Van De Ligt Jan 2023

Effect Of Sulfate Or Hydroxychloride Forms Of Zinc, Manganese, And Copper On Growth Performance, Weight Variation, Carcass Characteristics, And Economics Of Grow-Finish Pigs, Hilario M. Cordoba, Jason C. Woodworth, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Mike D. Tokach, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Chris P.A. Van De Ligt

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A total of 1,026 grow-finish pigs (337 × 1050 PIC; initially 57.2 ± 0.73 lb) were used in a 124-d trial to compare sulfate and hydroxychloride forms of Zn, Mn, and Cu on growth performance, carcass characteristics, weight variation, and economics of grow-finish pigs. Pigs were housed in mixed gender pens with 27 pigs per pen and 19 pens per treatment. The treatments were structured as a completely randomized design and consisted of a control diet containing 150, 16, and 110 ppm of Cu, Mn, and Zn, respectively, from sulfate sources or the same inclusion provided by hydroxychloride sources. Experimental …


A Meta-Regression Analysis To Evaluate The Effects Of Narasin On Grow-Finish Pig Performance, Larissa L. Becker, Jordan T. Gebhardt, Mike D. Tokach, Jason C. Woodworth, Robert D. Goodband, Joel M. Derouchey, Jenna A. Seltzer, Roger A. Arentson, Michael Shields, Christopher L. Puls Jan 2023

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A meta-regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of added narasin in growing-finishing pig diets to predict the influence on average daily gain (ADG), feed efficiency (G:F), and carcass yield. A database was developed containing 21 technical reports, abstracts, and refereed papers from 2012 to 2021 representing 35 observations for growth performance data in studies ranging from 35 to 116 days in length (overall data). In addition, within these 35 observations, individual period data were evaluated (143 observations) using weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly performance intervals (period data). Regression model equations were developed, and predictor variables were assessed with a …
