    Interaction of Nursery and Growing—Finishing Space Allocation for Pigs

    Get PDF
    Although feed intake and growth rate data were inconclusive, pigs that were crowded for floor space in the nursery period may have been less negatively affected by crowding in the growing–finishing period than were pigs that had adequate floor space during the nursery period

    Condensed Porcine Solubles in Diets Fed to Growing-Finishing Pigs

    Get PDF
    Condensed porcine solubles (CPS) was a suitable source of energy and protein when fed at 5% of the diet as a partial replacement of corn and soybean meal. Therefore, its use in growing-finishing diets should be based on relative ingredient costs and convenience of incorporation of a liquid material at the mixer

    Effects of Clinoptilolite on Growth Performance and Carcass Composition of Growing-Finishing Pigs and on Fecal Nitrogen and Phosphorus Content

    For both period and cumulative growth performance data, there were trends for increased feed intake and increased feed to gain ratios associated with increasing concentrations of dietary clinoptilolite. If, however, efficiency was expressed as daily intake of megacalories of metabolizable energy, there were no treatment effects. This lack of treatment response is illustrated by overall cumulative efficiencies of 4.39, 4.39, 4.40, and 4.31 Mcal. metabolizable energy/pound of weight gain for pigs fed diets containing 0, 2, 4, and 8% clinoptilolite. The decreased carcass backfat and increased carcass lean content associated with increasing concentrations of dietary clinoptilolite are responses that were probably caused by the concomitant increases in dietary protein (amino acid) to metabolizable energy ratios. Chemical analyses of feces for nitrogen and phosphorus revealed two relationships with dietary clinoptilolite concentration. First, both nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in feces decreased with increasing dietary clinoptilolite concentrations. These responses likely resulted because the clinoptilolite increased the volume of feces. Second, the ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus increased with increasing dietary clinoptilolite concentration. This response probably resulted because ammonia nitrogen was sequestered by clinoptilolite because of its ion exchange properties

    Effect of Inedible Egg Product on Growth Performance of Weanling Pigs

    Inedible egg product was evaluated as a replacement for soybean meal and soybean oil in diets fed to weanling pigs. Increasing egg product concentrations of 0, 3, 6, and 9% linearly decreased average daily gain and gain:feed ratio, but not average daily feed intake
