Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
Samples of sorghum dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) were collected and analyzed to establish a nutrient database and evaluate the quality and consistency between and within samples taken from 5 ethanol plants in the Western Plains region. Four plants were located in Kansas and 1 in Texas. A total of 21 samples were collected, with 4 plants contributing 4 samples each and 1 plant contributing 5 samples from different manufacturing lots of DDGS. Each sample was analyzed for amino acids, DM, CP, crude fiber, crude fat, ash, NDF, ADF, Ca, P, trace minerals, GE, and starch. In addition, DE, …

The Importance Of Defining The Method In Particle Size Analysis By Sieving (2010), Adam C. Fahrenholz, Leland J. Mckinney, C E. Wurth, Keith C. Behnke
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) publishes a standard for identifying particle size by sieving (ASABE S319.4). However, this standard includes a number of options that allow the test to be conducted differently, and different laboratories may analyze a single sample with different results. Options include the type of sieve shaker used, the use of sieve agitators, the use of a dispersion agent, and the sieving time. A small study was conducted to examine the effect of varying these methods on the calculated geometric mean diameter by weight (dgw) and geometric standard deviation by weight (sgw). Results …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
The effects of feed-withdrawal time on finishing-pig carcass composition and net returns were determined in 2 studies. In Exp. 1, a total of 728 pigs (BW = 286.4 ± 2.7 lb, 10 to 19 pigs per pen) were marketed from 48 pens that were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatments: feed withdrawal times of 7, 24, 36, or 48 h before harvest. Pigs were fed a common corn-soybean meal diet containing dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and bakery co-products. As expected, increased feed withdrawal time decreased (linear; P<0.001) live weight. Withholding feed also decreased (linear; P<0.03) HCW and backfat depth. Percentage yield increased (quadratic; P<0.01) with longer withdrawal periods, as did percentage lean (linear; P<0.01). Withholding feed increased (quadratic; P<0.01) live price and, accordingly, also increased (linear; P<0.001) carcass price. These results were due in part to increased (linear; P<0.02) premiums and decreased (linear; P<0.01) weight discounts. Total value and net revenue received were similar (P>0.32) between treatments as HCW decreased in fasted pigs, but …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 84 barrows (PIC 337 x 1050, initially 68.3 lb) were fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet with added dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS; 0 or 20%) and increasing glycerol (0, 2.5, or 5%) to determine the effects on belly quality. Criteria that were evaluated included: belly length, thickness, firmness, and slice yield; proximate and fatty acid analyses; iodine values; and sensory characteristics. There were no (P>0.08) DDGS x glycerol interactions on any criteria measured. Inclusion of 20% DDGS in the diet decreased belly firmness (P<0.04), as measured by the belly flop test (fat-side down method). Twenty percent DDGS decreased (P<0.01) the percentage of myristic acid, palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, vaccenic acid, total saturated fatty acids, and total monounsaturated fatty acids. In contrast, 20% DDGS increased (P<0.01) the percentage of linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, eicosadienoic acid, total polyunsaturated fatty acids, unsaturated:saturated fatty acid ratios, polyunsaturated:saturated fatty acid ratios, and iodine values. The inclusion of 0, 2.5, and 5% glycerol in swine diets did not affect any measured criteria in this study. In conclusion, feeding DDGS at a level of 20% decreased belly firmness and changed the fatty acid profile; however, it did not affect belly processing or sensory characteristics. Glycerol fed at 2.5 or 5.0% did not affect belly quality, fatty acid profile, or sensory characteristics of bacon.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 18, 2010

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 288 pigs (PIC TR4 x 1050, initially 82 lb) were used in a 91-d study to evaluate the effects of feeder trough space (1.75 vs. 3.5 in/pig) and minimum feeder-gap opening of 0.5 in. (narrow), vs. 1.0 in. (wide) on finisher pig performance. Our hypothesis was that at minimal feeder trough space (1.75 in./pig), feeders should be set at a wide gap opening to avoid limiting feed intake and ADG. The feeders were adjusted to the minimum gap setting, but the agitation plate could be moved upward to a maximum gap opening of 0.75 in. or 1.25 …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 208 pigs (104 barrows and 104 gilts, initial average 138 lb) were used in a 63-d experiment to determine the effects of adding cracked corn to diets for finishing pigs. The pigs were sorted by ancestry and blocked by weight with 13 pigs per pen and 4 pens per treatment. Treatments were corn-soybean meal-based with none, 10, 20, or 40% roller-milled corn (mean particle size of 3,549 μm). Particle size for the none, 10, 20, and 40% cracked corn diets were 684, 926, 979, and 1,187 μm, respectively. Feed and water were offered ad libitum until slaughter …

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 1,239 finishing pigs (initially 43 lb) were used in a 41-d trial to determine the effects on ADG, ADFI, and F/G of switching every 2 wk from a corn-soybean mealbased diet to a diet containing alternative ingredients. Pens of pigs were weighed and allotted randomly to 1 of 4 dietary treatments. Dietary treatments were: (1) feeding a corn-soybean meal-based diet; (2) feeding an alternative ingredient-based diet; (3) feeding both diets in succession by feeding 2 wk of the corn-soybean meal-based diet followed by 2 wk of the diet with alternative ingredients, then feeding the corn-soybean meal-based diet …
Effects Of Vomitoxin Concentration In Nursery Pig Diets And The Effectiveness Of Commercial Products To Mitigate Its Effects (2010), J A. Barnes, Joel M. Derouchey, Michael D. Tokach, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen, Steven S. Dritz

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 180 pigs (PIC TR4 x 1050, initially 22.8 lb and 34 d of age) were used in a 21-d trial to evaluate the effects of vomitoxin concentration in nursery pig diets and the effectiveness of commercial products to mitigate vomitoxin's negative effects on performance. Pens of pigs were balanced by initial weight and were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 dietary treatments with 6 replications per treatment. Dietary treatments included a control diet consisting of corn-soybean meal and regular dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS; low vomitoxin), a negative control diet containing 4 ppm dietary vomitoxin (from …
Effects Of Mixing Late-Finishing Pigs Just Before Marketing On Growth Performance (2010), M L. Potter, J R. Bergstrom, Michael D. Tokach, Joel M. Derouchey, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen, Steven S. Dritz
Effects Of Mixing Late-Finishing Pigs Just Before Marketing On Growth Performance (2010), M L. Potter, J R. Bergstrom, Michael D. Tokach, Joel M. Derouchey, Robert D. Goodband, Jim L. Nelssen, Steven S. Dritz
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 512 commercial finishing pigs were used in a 15-d trial to determine the effects of mixing late-finishing pigs from 1 or 2 barns at different stocking densities on pig performance prior to marketing. Close-to-market-weight pigs from 2 barns (north barn or south barn) were placed in 32 single-sex pens in the north barn at densities of either 12 or 20 pigs per pen. Pens of pigs were allotted to 1 of 4 mixing treatments (8 pens per treatment). Mixing treatments were: (1) nonmixed pens with 12 north barn pigs (control), (2) mixing 6 north barn pigs with …

The Influence Of Hamlet Protein 300 And Fish Meal On Nursery Pig Performance (2010), W Ying, Joel M. Derouchey, Robert D. Goodband, Michael D. Tokach, Jim L. Nelssen, Steven S. Dritz
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 360 nursery pigs (PIC 1050 barrows) were used in a 24-d study to evaluate the effects on growth performance of nursery diets containing Hamlet Protein 300 (HP 300) or fish meal. Pigs were weaned at approximately 21 d of age and placed on a pretest diet for 7 d before dietary treatments began. Pens of pigs were balanced by initial weight and randomly allotted to 1 of 7 dietary treatments with 9 replications per treatment. The 7 dietary treatments included a control diet containing no specialty protein sources or the control diet with 2, 4 or 6% …
