  • Effects of daily porcine somatotropin administration on tile performance and carcass characteristics of finishing swine
    Fitzner, G.E.; Goodband, R.D.; Hines, R.H.; Nelssen, J.L.; Nichols, D.A.; Kropf, D.H.; Schricker, B.R.; Darden, D.E.; Weeden, T.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    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 ...
  • Effects of heat stress, dietary energy density and exogenous porcine somatotropin on tile growth performance of finishing pigs
    Stoner, G.R.; Nelssen, J.L.; Nichols, D.A.; Allee, G.L.; Schricker, B.R. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    This experiment was conducted to determine the interactive effects of environmental temperature porcine somatotropin (pST) and dietary energy density on the growth performance of finishing pigs. Forty-eight barrows were ...
  • Effects of various fat sources on growth performance of finishing pigs
    Goodband, R.D.; Hines, R.H.; Nelssen, J.L.; Nichols, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    One hundred and twenty-eight finishing pigs averaging 124 lb were utilized to evaluate the effects of different fat sources on growth performance. Pigs were fed one of four diets containing either no added fat (control) ...
  • The genetics of lean growth
    Nichols, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    In recent years, the pork industry has faced numerous challenges. As consumer resistance to fatter meats has increased, the industry has had two options, 1) argue against popular opinion that fat consumption posed a health ...
  • Space requirements of finishing pigs fed to an average pen weight of 250 pounds
    Hines, R.H.; Nicholson, R.I.; Goodband, R.D.; Fitzner, G.E.; Nelssen, J.L.; Nichols, D.A.; Hancock, J.D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1989)
    Space allowances of 6, 8, 10, and 12 ft^2 were evaluated for pigs fed from 130 lb to a pen average of 250 lb. Average daily gain and average daily feed intake. increased linearly (P<.05) as space allowance increased. ...
