Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 360 pigs (Line 241 × 600; DNA, Columbus, NE) were used in a 14-d growth trial to determine if the response to added dietary salt in nursery pigs (15 to 24 lb) was due to either the Na or Cl concentration in the diet. Upon entry to the nursery, pigs were allotted by BW and fed a common starter diet (0.33% Na and 0.76% Cl) for 7 d after weaning. On d 7 after weaning, considered d 0 in the trial, pens were assigned to 1 of 4 dietary treatments that were fed from d 0 to …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 325 maternal line barrows (Line 200 × 400; DNA, Columbus, NE; initially 14.6 lb BW) were used in a 14-d growth trial to determine the optimal inclusion rate of dietary salt for growth performance of nursery pigs weighing approximately 15 to 22 lb. Upon entry of the nursery, pigs were allotted by BW and fed a common starter diet (6 lb/ton added salt and 25% dried whey) for 7 d after weaning. At d 7 after weaning, considered d 0 in the trial, pigs were allotted by pen weight and assigned to 1 of 5 dietary treatments. …
