  • Litter size for gilts fed higher levels of folic acid and Riboflavin during gestation
    Davis, D.L.; Nelssen, J.L.; Zhang, C.; Li, D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1990)
    We fed gilts diets containing either additional folic acid throughout gestation (1.5 g/ton, 4.5 lb/gilt daily), additional riboflavin (100 mg/gilt daily) from d 4 to 10 of gestation, both folic acid and riboflavin, or ...
  • Low test-weight sorghum for growing-finishing swine
    Hansen, J.A.; Goodband, R.D.; Thaler, R.C.; Hancock, J.D.; Nelssen, J.L.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1990)
    Two growth studies were conducted to determine the effects of substituting lower test-weight sorghum (35 lb/bu as LOW or 45 lb/bu as MED) for normal test-weight sorghum (55 lb/bu NORM), in growing and finishing swine diets. ...
  • Postfinishing mineralization of skeletal tissue in replacement gilts
    Nicholson, R.I.; Hines, R.H.; Fitzner, G.E.; Hancock, J.D.; Goodband, R.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1990)
    Thirty-two crossbred gilts averaging 250 /b were selected for the experiment at the conclusion of the finishing phase. Eight of the gilts were slaughtered on d 0 to serve as a pretreatment control group. The remaining 24 ...
  • Price discovery and basis risk for live hogs
    Schroeder, T.C.; Goodwin, B.K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1990)
    The short- and long-run daily price relationships between cash and futures markets for live hogs were examined over the 1975-89 period. Price discovery generally originates in the futures market with about 65% of new ...
  • Processing method affects the nutritional value of low-inhibitor soybeans for nursery pigs
    Hancock, J.D.; Lewis, A.J.; Jones, D.B.; Giesemann, M.A.; Healy, B.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1990)
    One hundred weanling pigs (16.5 lb avg initial wt) were used in a 35-d growth assay to determine the effects of processing method (roasting in a Roast-A-Tron roaster vs extrusion in an Insta-Pro extruder) on the nutritional ...
  • Protein sparing effect of a fermentation product in pig diets from weaning to market
    Hancock, J.D.; Swanson, J.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1990)
    One hundred eighty pigs (avg wt of 21.11b) were used in an experiment to determine if a fermentation product improves performance and reduces last rib fat thickness in pigs when added to a low-protein diet regimen. ...
  • Utilization of surimi-like products from pork with sex-odor in restructured, precooked pork roasts
    Garcia Zepeda, C.M.; Kastner, C.L.; Kropf, D.H.; Hunt, M.C.; Kenney, P.B.; Schwenke, J.R.; Schleusener, D.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1990)
    Surimi-like materials from boar and sow muscle and Alaska pollack surimi were evaluated at a 5% inclusion level in a restructured, precooked (158°F) pork roast. Meat batches were formulated to contain 95% chunked ham ...
