  • Lack of interaction between lysine levels fed in growing and finishing diets
    Dritz, S.S.; Tokach, M.D.; Goodband, R.D.; Nelssen, J.L.; Steve, Rops; Marty, Heintz (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    A total of 1,200 pigs were used to determine whether dietary lysine level fed in the growing phase influenced the response to lysine level fed in the finishing phase. Pigs were fed either an adequate or low lysine level ...
  • Manure composition from Kansas swine lagoons
    DeRouchey, J.D.; Keeler, G.L.; Goodband, R.D.; Nelssen, J.L.; Tokach, M.D.; Dritz, S.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Analysis of 41 manure samples from Kansas swine lagoons revealed that nutrient concentrations were higher than previously reported values from the Nebraska Cooperative Extension Service and the Midwest Planning Service. ...
  • Margins of safety can be lowered for supplemental copper, zinc, iron, and manganese in finishing diets without affecting growth performance
    Dritz, S.S.; Tokach, M.D.; Goodband, R.D.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Finishing pig diets are commonly supplemented with copper, zinc, iron, and manganese with large margins of safety compared to those suggested by NRC requirements. In this study, pigs were fed a control diet that provided ...
  • Market hog price discovery
    Schroeder, T.C.; Mintert, J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Cash hog markets are declining in importance, and use of formula pricing of market hogs is increasing. Producers need more information to assist them in price discovery and formula price negotiations with pork packers. ...
  • A new treatment for neonatal scours
    Sedlacek, R.L.; O'Donnell, E.K.; Singh, A.K.; Bridges, R.J.; Van Metre, D.C.; Schultz, B.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Scours account for significant losses to the US swine industry every year. A common treatment for scours is the administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics, a practice with increasing unpopularity in the eyes of consumers. ...
  • On-farm salmonella testing: perspectives of pork producers
    Mark, D.R.; Boland, M.A.; Fox, J.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    Pork producers in Kansas were surveyed to determine their attitudes regarding onfarm Salmonella testing and to provide estimates ofthe costs ofcollecting hide, fecal, or blood samples from live pigs. Veterinarians and ...
  • Predicting lysine requirements using protein and lipid accretion curves for growing-finishing barrows
    De La Llata, M.; Dritz, S.S.; Tokach, M.D.; Goodband, R.D.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    A total of240 growing-finishing barrows (75 to 260 lb) were used to model accretion rates and the lysine:calorie ratio requirement based on lipid and protein content data obtained with a real-time ultrasound. Barrows were ...
  • Predicting lysine requirements using protein and lipid accretion curves for growing-finishing gilts
    De La Llata, M.; Dritz, S.S.; Tokach, M.D.; Goodband, R.D.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1999)
    A total of240 growing-finishing gilts (60 to 260 lb) was used to model accretion rates and the lysine:calorie ratio requirement based on lipid and protein growth. Real-time ultrasound measurements were used to estimate lipid ...
