Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of adding coarse wheat bran with reduced crude protein level in diets without pharmacological levels of zinc oxide on the growth performance and fecal dry matter of nursery pigs. Our objective was to determine if a low-crude protein diet with an added fiber source might provide similar growth performance and reduce the incidence of scours in weanling pigs compared to a typical, high-protein diet with added Zn. A total of 300 and 350 pigs (DNA 241 × 600), initially 15.4 and 13.7 lb body weight (BW), were used in Exp. 1 and …

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 …

Utilization Of Depth - Enabled Identification And Tracking System To Identify And Track Individual Pigs And Analyse Individual Pig Activity, Jessica Michelle Lancaster
Utilization Of Depth - Enabled Identification And Tracking System To Identify And Track Individual Pigs And Analyse Individual Pig Activity, Jessica Michelle Lancaster
Department of Animal Science: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Ensuring the health and wellbeing of pigs is of the utmost importance to the swine industry. There is a need for a real-time system that can identify changes in pig activities and activity patterns to accurately identify compromised pigs. The value of a real-time system is the capability to identify compromised pigs prior to observance of visible clinical symptoms by facility personnel. Therefore, a novel computer vision depth-enabled identification and tracking (DeIT) system was evaluated. Evaluation of 10,544 randomly selected frames indicated a 93.9% accuracy rate for identifying pigs’ identity when classified by the system as standing/walking. The accuracy of …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 398 pigs (PIC 19 × 1050 or PIC 3 × C29, initially 13.56 ± 0.02 lb) were used in a 42-d growth study to compare the effects of increasing two different sources of encapsulated butyric acid on growth performance of nursery pigs fed meal diets. Dietary treatments were arranged as a 2 × 2 + 1 factorial with main effects of butyric acid source (ButiPEARL vs. ButiPEARLZ; Kemin Industries, Des Moines, IA) and level (low (1 or 1.38 lb/ton) vs. high (2 or 2.76 lb/ton) respectively) plus a control diet without any butyric acid. The inclusion rates …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 286 nursery pigs (PIC 327 × 1050; initially 24.3 lb and d 42 of age) were used in a 21-d growth trial to determine the available P (aP) release curve for a novel phytase source (Natuphos E 5,000 G, BASF Corporation, Florham Park, NJ). Pigs were randomly allotted to pens at weaning. On d 0 of the experiment (d 18 after weaning), pens were allotted in a randomized complete block design to 1 of 8 treatments. There were 4 pigs per pen and 9 pens per treatment. Pigs were fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet formulated to 1.25% …
Evaluation Of L-Methionine Bioavailability In Nursery Pigs, Jina Lim
Evaluation Of L-Methionine Bioavailability In Nursery Pigs, Jina Lim
Theses and Dissertations--Animal and Food Sciences
DL-Methionine (Met) has been conventionally used in swine diets with assumption of similar bioefficacy with L-Met. However, because L-Met is the form that is utilized by animals for protein synthesis, L-Met could, theoretically, be more available. Four experiments were conducted to evaluate L-Met bioavailability in nursery pigs with 21-day growth trials. A total of 105,105,112 and 84 crossbred pigs were used in Exp. 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Each experiment had a low Met basal diet and 3 levels of the Met sources (DL-Met and L-Met). In addition to the basal diet, supplementation levels were 0.053%, 0.107% and 0.160% …
