A Multi-Trial Analysis Evaluating The Effects Of Pharmacological Levels Of Intellibond Copper On Growing-Finishing Pig Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics, Hayden R. Kerkaert, Jason C. Woodworth, Joel M. Derouchey, Steve S. Dritz, Mike D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Hilda Calderon Cartagena

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

A multi-trial analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of pharmacological levels of added IntelliBond Copper (IBC) on growing-finishing pig growth performance and carcass characteristics compared to pigs fed control diets containing typical additions of copper from a trace mineral premix. Data with 331 observations within 8 trials were included in the final database. Inclusion rates for IBC were either 150 (7 trials), or 200 (1 trial) ppm. Pigs fed IBC throughout the entire grow-finish period had greater (P<0.05) overall ADG, ADFI, and final BW and tended (P= 0.085) to be more efficient than pigs fed control diets. There was no evidence for differences (P …

Comparison Of Mehlich-3 And Dtpa Soil Tests For Analysis Of Micronutrients In Kansas Soils, B. Rutter, D. A. Ruiz Diaz, L. Hargrave

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Mehlich-3 (M3) was designed as a multi-nutrient soil test procedure and has become common at soil testing labs across the U.S. In Kansas, Mehlich-3 is predominately used as a soil test for phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), but recent studies have also investigated the use of M3 for the extraction of base cations and cation exchange capacity estimation. However, data relating M3 to traditional methods for soil micronutrient extraction remain scarce. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between M3 and diethylenetriamine pentaacetate (DTPA) extractable copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn) across a wide …

Dietary treatments were arranged in a 2 × 3 factorial with main effects of Mn source (Mn hydroxychloride, IntelliBond M, Micronutrients, Indianapolis, IN; or Mn sulfate, MnSO4, Eurochem, Veracruz, Mexico), and increasing added …

Assessment Of Sampling Technique From Feeders On Copper, Zinc, Calcium, And Phosphorus Analysis, A. M. Jones, J. C. Woodworth, C. Vahl, S. S. Dritz, M. D. Tokach, R. D. Goodband, J. M. Derouchey

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

While numerous research articles have been published on how to collect a representative sample, and analytical or laboratory-to-laboratory variation, we are unaware of any studies to examine exactly how many samples to collect from feeders, or whether they should be pooled or not to minimize analytical variation. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate different sampling procedures and the number of samples to collect, and achieve an accurate assessment of nutrient fortification in swine diets.

Diet samples were collected from a study evaluating the effects of increasing Cu on growth performance of finishing pigs. Treatments were arranged in a split-plot …
