    One hundred forty-four pigs (72 barrows and 72 gilts) were utilized in six treatments with six pens each to evaluate four levels of daily porcine somatotropin (pST) injections (0, 1, 3, or 5 mg/d) in combination with diets ...
  • The effects of excess dietary lysine additions on growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs
    Goodband, R.D.; Hines, R.H.; Nelssen, J.L.; Kropf, D.H.; Stoner, G.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Seventy-five barrows (initial wt 136 lb) were utilized to evaluate the effects of dietary lysine levels ranging from .6 to 1.4% on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Pigs were fed a pelleted corn-sesame meal ...
  • Improved pork products for the 1990's
    Kropf, D.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    The word "improved" in a commercial sense means "altered product characteristics to meet the consumers' real and perceived needs." The pork industry in the 90's must progress toward offering products designed to meet ...
