Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Forty-seven growing pigs (initially 65 ± 2 lb) were used in a metabolism study to determine the effects of a single respiratory disease challenge on nitrogen retention, plasma insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), organ weight, and carcass characteristics. Thirty pigs were challenged with Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia, and 7 pigs were assigned to an ad libitum fed nonchallenged control group. Ten additional nonchallenged pigs were pair-fed the feed intake of a A. pleuropneumonia-challenged counterpart. There were five 4 d collection periods (d 4 to 7, d 8 to 11, d 12 to 15, d 16 to 19, and d 22 to 25), and …
