Effect Of Different Fat Sources And Vitamin E Isoforms/ Levels On Carcass Characteristics, Meat Quality, And Belly/Bacon Characteristics Of Pigs Grown To Heavy Slaughter Weights (>150kg), Marlee Kelley
Theses and Dissertations--Animal and Food Sciences
Two separate studies were conducted to evaluate the potential interaction of fat sources and vitamin E (VE) on heavy slaughter weights. In Study 1, a total of 64 individually-fed pigs (28.41 ± 0.83 kg) were randomly assigned to 8 dietary treatments in a 4×2 factorial arrangement. Fat treatments included cornstarch (CS), tallow (TW), corn oil (CO), and coconut-oil (CN). VE treatments were dietary alpha-tocopheryl-acetate (ATA) at 11 and 200 ppm. In Study 2, a total of 72 individually fed pigs (28.55 ± 1.16 kg) were randomly assigned to 12 dietary treatments in a 2 × 6 factorial arrangement. Fat treatments …
