Low Crude Protein Diets for Late Finishing Barrows1
|
ABSTRACT
Two experiments were conducted with finishing barrows to determine the effect of low CP, amino acid (AA) supplemented diets on growth performance and carcass traits. In Exp. 1, 80 barrows (initial and final BW of 85.5 and 117.5 kg, respectively) were allotted to 4 treatments (5 replicates of 4 pigs per replicate). The dietary treatments were 1) corn-soybean meal diet (C-SBM) with 0.54% true ileal digestible Lys; 2) diet 1 but with crystalline Lys, Thr, and Trp to lower CP (LCP...

Interactive Effects Between Ractopamine Hydrochloride and Dietary Lysine on Finishing Pig Growth Performance, Carcass Characteristics, Pork Quality, and Tissue Accretion1
Professional Animal Scientist
; ABSTRACT A total of 432 pigs were used to evaluate ractopamine HCl (RAC) and dietary Lys on growth performance, carcass characteristics, pork quality, and tissue accretion. The 12 dietary treatments included RAC (0, 5, and 10 ppm) and 4 levels of Lys. For pigs fed no RAC, Lys levels were 0.6, 0.8,

A Deficiency or Excess of Dietary Threonine Reduces Protein Synthesis in Jejunum and Skeletal Muscle of Young Pigs1,2
The Journal of Nutrition
; Abstract Dietary threonine imbalance is known to reduce the growth of the small intestine, liver, and skeletal muscle in young animals, but the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Using the pig model, this study was conducted to test the hypothesis that either a deficiency or an excess of

Dietary phosphorus removal with and without microbial phytase addition for growing finishing pigs1
Professional Animal Scientist
; Abstract One hundred seventy one crossbred pigs (53.3 + or - 1.4 kg) were used to evaluate the effects of removing inorganic P from finishing diets with or without phytase addition during two 28-d finisher phases (EARLY and LATE, respectively). Dietary treatments were: 1) control (Trt 1; EARLY

A high amylose (Amylomaize) starch raises proximal large bowel starch and increases colon length in pigs
The Journal of Nutrition
; ABSTRACT Young male pigs consumed a diet of fatty minced beef, safflower oil, skim milk powder, sucrose, cornstarch and wheat bran. Starch provided 50% of total daily energy either as low amylose cornstarch, high amylose (amylomaize) cornstarch or as a 50/50 mixture of corn and high amylose starch.
