  • Omitting vitamin and trace mineral premixes from diets during late finishing (190 to 250 lb) did not reduce growth performance, carcass leanness, or muscle quality
    Kim, I.H.; Hancock, J.D.; Burnham, L.L.; Kropf, D.H.; Hines, R.H.; Behnke, K.C.; Rantanen, M.M.; Mavromichalis, I. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1995)
    Average daily gain; F/G; dressing percentage; tenth rib fat thickness; and depth, marbling, color, and firmness of the longissimus muscle were not influenced by omitting the vitamin and(or) trace mineral premixes from ...
  • On-farm feed uniformity survey
    Stark, C.R.; Behnke, K.C.; Goodband, R.D.; Hansen, J.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1991)
    An on-farm feed manufacturing survey was conducted in conjunction with a mixer uniformity analysis. The survey collected information on producer size and type of operation, mixer type, manufacturing practices, and feed ...
  • Optimum particle size of corn and hard and soft sorghum grain for nursery pigs and broiler chicks
    Healy, B.J.; Hancock, J.D.; Bramel-Cox, P.J.; Behnke, K.C.; Kennedy, G.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1991)
    A total of 240 weanling pigs (avg initial wt of 11.7 lb) was used to determine the effects of particle size of corn and two sorghum genotypes on growth performance. In addition to the pig feeding experiment, 420 broiler ...
  • Particle size (1,000 vs 500 um) affects nutritional value of simple and complex diets for weanling pigs and broiler chicks
    Kim, I.H.; Hancock, J.D.; Cabrera, M.R.; Hines, R.H.; Rantanen, M.M.; Behnke, K.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1995)
    Nursery pigs fed complex diets had greater ADG than those fed simple diets, and as particle size was reduced, ADG and F/G tended to improve. There was a trend for reducing particle size to increase ADG more for pigs fed ...
  • Pellet quality affects growth performance of nursery and finishing pigs
    Stark, C.R.; Behnke, K.C.; Hancock, J.D.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
    Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of diet form (meal vs pellet) and amount of fines in pelleted feed on growth performance of nursery and finishing pigs. One hundred twenty-six weanling pigs, with an ...
  • Pelleting corn-soybean meal swine diets
    Skoch, E.R.; Binder, S.F.; Deyoe, C.W.; Allee, G.L.; Behnke, K.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    One hundred forty-six pigs were used to study the effects of steam pelleting a corn-soybean meal diet on pig performance. Treatments included ground meal, meal steam conditioned to 80 C (176 ̊F) before pelleting, meal ...
  • Performance of weanling pigs as influenced by feeding insect-and fungal-damaged grain sorghum
    Dietz, J.C.; Behnke, K.C.; Allee, G.A.; Deyoe, C.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Using 128 crossbred pigs with an average initial weight of 18.3 Kg, we determined the effect that insect- and fungal-damaged sorghum would have on the pigs' performance. No differences were found in daily feed consumption ...
  • Performance of young pigs fed sorghum grain damaged by lesser grain borer or fungal invasion
    Dietz, J.C.; Behnke, K.C.; Deyoe, C.W.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Nutritional quality and physical conditions were used to evaluate grain sorghum damaged by either the lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) or by nontoxin-producing fungi. Experimental treatments were: 1) control ...
  • Performance of young pigs fed sorghum grain damaged by lesser grain borer or fungal invasion
    Dietz, J.C.; Behnke, K.C.; Deyoe, C.W.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1984)
    Nutritional quality and physical conditions were used to evaluate grain sorghum damaged by either the lesser grain borer Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) or by nontoxin-producing fungi. Experimental treatments were: 1) control ...
  • Reduction of corn particle size in lactation diets improves sow and litter performance
    Wondra, K.J.; Hancock, J.D.; Kennedy, G.A.; Hines, R.H.; Behnke, K.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1992)
    One hundred primiparous sows were used to determine the effects of corn particle size in lactation diets on sow and litter performance. Sows were fed com-soybean mealbased diet with the com ground to 1,200, 900, 600, or ...
  • Sorghum genotype and particle size affect growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and stomach morphology in finishing pigs
    Cabrera, M.R.; Hancock, J.D.; Behnke, K.C.; Bramel-Cox, P.J.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1993)
