Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A total of 2,100 pigs (PIC 327 × 1050, initially 68.8 lb) were used in a 118-d trial to determine the effects of pellet feeding regimens on finishing pig growth performance, stomach morphology, and carcass characteristics. Pens of pigs were balanced by initial BW and randomly allotted to 1 of 6 dietary treatments (14 pens/treatment with 25 pigs/pen). Pens were sorted by gender allowing for 7 barrow and 7 gilt pens/treatment. The same corn-soybean meal–based diets containing 15% dried distillers grains with solubles were used for all treatments and fed in 5 phases. The 6 treatments included a meal or …
Evaluating The Effects Of Maternal Vitamin D Supplementation On The Subsequent Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of A Subsample Population Of Growing Pigs, J. R. Flohr, J. C. Woodworth, M. D. Tokach, S. S. Dritz, R. D. Goodband, J. M. Derouchey, J. R. Bergstrom
Evaluating The Effects Of Maternal Vitamin D Supplementation On The Subsequent Growth Performance And Carcass Characteristics Of A Subsample Population Of Growing Pigs, J. R. Flohr, J. C. Woodworth, M. D. Tokach, S. S. Dritz, R. D. Goodband, J. M. Derouchey, J. R. Bergstrom
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports
A subsample of 448 growing pigs (PIC 327 × 1050), or approximately 50% of pigs weaned from sows fed varying dietary vitamin D regimens, were used in a split-plot design to determine the influence of maternal and nursery vitamin D regimens on growth performance. Sows were previously administered diets containing vitamin D as either: 1) low vitamin D3(363 IU/lb); 2) medium vitamin D3(907 IU/lb); 3) high vitamin D3(4,354 IU/lb); or 4) 23μg 25(OH)D3/lb (Hy-D, DSM Nutritional Products Inc, Parsippany, NJ) as described by Flohr et al. (20153) throughout gestation and …
