Optimization Of Canola Co-Product Utilization In Swine, Jung Wook Lee
Optimization Of Canola Co-Product Utilization In Swine, Jung Wook Lee
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Canola co-products have a high content of fiber and glucosinolates. Fiber reduces nutrient utilization in pigs, whereas glucosinolates are degraded to toxic products, which interfere with liver, kidney and thyroid functions. Negative effects of fiber can potentially be alleviated by fiber-degrading enzymes, whereas negative effects of glucosinolates in pigs can potentially be alleviated through reduction in hindgut pH. However, there is a lack of information on effects of supplemental fiberdegrading enzymes on digestion and fermentation characteristics of canola coproducts for pigs. Also, there is limited information on effects of reducing hindgut pH on toxicity of glucosinolates in pigs. Four experiments …

A total of 720 barrows (initially 13.0 lb; Line 200 × 400; DNA, Columbus, NE) from 2 study groups (360 pigs per study group), were used in a 42-d growth trial to test the effects of spray-driedLactococcus-based fermentation products on nursery pig performance. There were 24 replications per treatment and 5 pigs per pen. For both experiments, pens of pigs were randomly allotted to 1 of 6 dietary treatments in a completely randomized design. There were six treatment diets fed in 3 phases. The positive control diet included zinc oxide (phase 1), zinc oxide + chlortetracycline (CTC; phase …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The objective of this study was to evaluate the independent and additive effects ofCordycepsmushroom powder (MP) and carbadox to pharmacological levels of copper and zinc in nursery pig diets. Two hundred and ten crossbred weanling pigs (Duroc × (York × Landrace)) average of 19 d of age and 12.8 lb were used in a 33-day growth trial. Pigs were allotted by weight, sex, ancestry, and assigned to body weight (BW) blocks. Within BW blocks, sex ratios were constant in each pen. Pen was the experimental unit, and growth performance was analyzed using BW, average daily gain (ADG), average …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
One hundred thirty-two gilts and barrows (18.2 d of age) weighing an average of 13.4 lb (Duroc × (York × Landrace)) were put on test for a 35-day growth trial to assess the effects ofCordycepsmushroom powder (MP) or purified mushroom beta-glucan (BG) as an antibiotic alternative in nursery diets. There were 6 diets, negative and positive controls (NC and PC), 150 and 300 ppm mushroom powder, and 150 and 300 ppm beta-glucan equivalents to the MP diets. Pigs were divided by weight, sex, litter, and assigned to 6 body weight (BW) blocks. Within BW blocks, sex ratios were …
