The Effects of Dietary Chicory and Reduced Nutrient Diets on Composition and Odor of Stored Swine Manure1
Professional Animal Scientist ; ABSTRACT Two experiments were conducted to examine the impact of dietary chicory on growth performance and odor of stored swine manure. In Exp. 1, 180 nursery pigs (10.6 2 kg BW) were used in a 21-d experiment to evaluate the effects of replacing corn with chicory (0.5 to 10.0%) on pig performance.
Low Crude Protein Diets for Late Finishing Barrows1
Professional Animal Scientist ; 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
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,
