Twenty corn hybrids were grown under irrigation and harvested at 90 % of the kernel milk line. Hybrid had a significant effect on plant height, whole-plant dry matter (DM) and DM yield, grain yield, stover yield, and plant part proportions. The highest whole-plant DM (45.9%) was for Cargill 7997, whereas the lowest was for Cargill 4327 (30.1%). Cargill 8427 and Pioneer 3245 had the highest wholeplant DM and grain yields, whereas Cargill 4327 was lowest. Grain yield and the percentage of grain in the whole-plant DM increased as the plant height increased.

One hundred pigs (initially 13.0 lb and 21 d of age) were used to assess the differences between moist and dry extruded soybean meal in diets for early-weaned pigs. Dietary treatments included: 1) corn+ dried skim milk+dried whey+casein, 2) corn+soybean meal, 3) corn+dry extruded soybean meal, and 4) com+moist extruded soybean meal. The diets were formulated to contain 1.4% lysine and 24.4% lactose. Soybean meal (with or without extrusion processing) replaced milk protein on an equal lysine basis. Experimental diets were fed for the entire 28 d experiment. On d 14, fecal samples were collected to determine apparent DM and …

A 25 d growth trial utilizing 198 pigs was conducted to determine the influence of fumaric acid and calcium formate on starter pig performance. At weaning (19 d of age and 11.9 lb), pigs were blocked by weight and allotted to one of three dietary treatments: a control diet without acid addition or diets containing 1.5% fumaric acid or 1.5% calcium formate. Adding calcium formate to the diet had no influence on average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), or feed efficiency (F/G). Pigs fed the diet containing fumaric acid had improved feed efficiency during the first 2 …

Two experiments were conducted to determine the nutritional value of extruded corn, sorghum, and soybean meal (SBM) for nursery-age pigs. Experiment 1 involved 180 weanling pigs, with an average age of 22 d and average weight of 13.2 lb. Treatments were 1) corn-SBM-dried whey-based control, 2) extruded corn (Ecorn)-SBM, 3) Ecornextruded SBM (ESBM), 4) sorghum-SBM, 5) extruded sorghum (Esorghum)-SBM, 6) Esorghum-ESBM. Extrusion of the grains improved feed to gain (F/G) but reduced average daily feed intake (ADFI) in phase 1 (d 0 to 10). For phase 2 (d 10 to 24), phase 3 (d 24 to 38), and overall, corn …

A total of 318 pigs was used in a 25-d growth trial to determine the influence of high levels of B-vitamins on starter pig performance. At weaning (l6-d of age), pigs were blocked by weight to one of six dietary treatments based on B-vitamin level. The negative control diet contained the standard KSU B-vitamin additions. The next four diets contained vitamin B12, riboflavin, pantothenic acid, or niacin at lOx the level recommended by NRC (1988). The positive control diet contained all four vitamins at 10 x the levels suggested by NRC (1988). B-vitamin inclusion rate did not influence average daily …

One hundred and seventy pigs (initially 12.81b and 21 d of age) were used to determine the effect of moist extrusion on soybean products when fed to the early-weaned pig. Dietary treatments, including a positive control, fed d 0 to 14 postweaning were arranged in a 2 x 3 factorial. Pigs were fed one of the seven diets: 1) control diet (milk): corn+dried skim milk+dried whey+casein; 2 and 3) corn+defatted soy flakes with or without moist extrusion; 4 and 5) corn+toasted soy flour with or without moist extrusion; and 6 and 7) corn+ soy protein concentrate with or without moist …

One hundred-eighty British crossbred steers (760 lb) were used in a 3x2 factorially arranged experiment to evaluate the main effects of alfalfa form (chopped hay, dehydrated pellets, or a 50:50 mixture of hay:dehy) and level (5 or 10% of diet DM) on finishing steer performance. Alfalfa (third-cutting, 23.9% CP) was harvested in alternate rows from a common field. No interactions between alfalfa form and level were detected. Steers fed chopped hay or the 50:50 mixture gained faster (P<.05), consumed more feed (P<.05), and had heavier final and carcass weights (P<.05) than steers fed dehy pellets. Steers fed 10% alfalfa gained faster (P<.05), consumed more feed (P<.0003), and had heavier carcass weights (P<.02) vs those fed 5% alfalfa. Feed efficiency was unaffected by alfalfa form or level. Lower feed intakes and numerically higher incidences of liver abscesses indicated less ruminal tactile stimulation and more subacute acidosis for dehy pellets vs hay or the 50:50 mixture and for 5 vs 10% alfalfa, respectively. Positive associative responses of 5.1% (P = .07) on daily gain and 2.9% (P = .11) on dry matter intake suggested that the 50:50 mixture provided enough long particles for adequate rumen function at the alfalfa levels studied. Our results suggests more dehy pellets than chopped hay must be fed to provide similar roughage value.

Corn and forage sorghum silages were stored in pilot-scale silos for 180 days, and dry matter (DM) and organic matter (OM) recoveries and estimated OM recovery were measured at three depths within the top 3 ft. of silage. The unsealed silages deteriorated badly in the top 12 in. Actual DM and OM losses in the top 24 in. were higher in unsealed than sealed silages at each successive storage period (7 to 180 days). The unsealed silages began to deteriorate immediately in the top 12 in. in both crops, and deterioration progressed to the second 12 in. by 90 days …
