  • 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 ...
  • 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 ...
  • Sodium sulfite and extrusion affect the nutritional value of soybean products for nursery pigs
    Burnham, L.L.; Hancock, J.D.; Kim, I.H.; Hines, R.H.; Gugle, T.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1995)
    Extruded soybeans improved rates and efficiencies of gain when fed to nursery pigs in place of soybean meal (SBM). Sodium sulfite (an extrusion aid) increased extruder throughput and improved d 13 to 35 and overall ...
  • Summary of Kansas State University swine enterprise record
    Goodband, R.D.; Richert, B.T.; Langemeier, M.L.; Tokach, M.D.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1995)
    The Kansas Swine Enterprise Record Program evaluates biological and economic performance and is part of a cooperative record-keeping project with extension personnel and swine producers in Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. ...
  • Test weight affects the milling characteristics of grain sorghum
    Traylor, S.L.; Behnke, K.C.; Hancock, J.D.; Herrman, T.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1995)
    As test weight was reduced from normal to intermediate (i.e., from 58 to 52 lb/bu), little change occurred in milling characteristics of grain sorghum. However, as test weight was decreased from intermediate to light (52 ...
  • Wheat gluten and spray-dried plasma protein blends for nursery pigs
    Burnham, L.L.; Hancock, J.D.; Kim, I.H.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1995)
    Using a 50:50 blend of spray-dried plasma protein (SDPP):spray-dried wheat gluten (WG) (i.e., with each as approximately 4% of the diet) gave the greatest ADG and ADFI, while reducing diet costs compared to the control ...
