  • An alternative to sulfa-containing antibiotics for starter pigs
    Thaler, R.C.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    An on-farm starter trial was conducted to compare the efficacy of a non-sulfa containing antibiotic (Mecadox®) to that of a sulfa-containing antibiotic (ASP-250®). Two hundred and forty pigs weaned at 3 wk of age were ...
  • Comparison of wet versus dry feeding for starter pigs
    Thaler, R.C.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Two studies utilizing a total of 480 pigs (21 days old) were conducted to compare wet versus dry feeding during a 4 wk starter period. Pigs were fed a pelletized, high nutrient density diet for the first 2 wk and a ...
  • Effect of dietary folic acid additions on sow performance through two parities
    Thaler, R.C.; Nelssen, J.L.; Goodband, R.D.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    A total of 153 gilts from three breeding groups were fed gestation/lactation diets supplemented with either 0, 1.5, or 6.0 g of folic acid/ton of complete feed for two consecutive parities. Serum folate levels were ...
  • Effect of fat source and fat combinations on starter pig performance
    Thaler, R.C.; Nelssen, J.L.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Two 5-wk trials utilizing a total of 324 weanling pigs (21 ± 3 d) were conducted to determine the effects of different fat sources and combinations on starter pig performance. Treatments consisted of a control (CONT) with ...
  • The effects of dietary lysine level on performance of pigs weaned at two weeks of age
    Goodband, R.D.; Hines, R.H.; Nelssen, J.L.; Thaler, R.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    One-hundred fifty pigs weaned at 14 ± 2 days of age and averaging 9.8 ± 2.8 lb were used to determine the effects of increasing levels of dietary lysine on pig performance. Pigs were fed a pelleted corn-soybean meal diet ...
  • The effects of porcine somatotropin (pST) and dietary lysine level on growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing swine
    Goodband, R.D.; Nelssen, J.L.; Hines, R.H.; Kropf, D.H.; Thaler, R.C.; Schricker, B.R.; Fitzner, G.E.; Lewis, A.J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Seventy-two finishing pigs averaging 130 lb were utilized to determine the effects of PST and dietary lysine on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Pigs were injected daily with 4 mg PST in the extensor muscle ...
  • The effects of porcine somatotropin (pST) dosage and dietary lysine level on growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing swine
    Goodband, R.D.; Nelssen, J.L.; Hines, R.H.; Kropf, D.H.; Schricker, B.R.; Stoner, G.R.; Danler, R.J.; Hancock, J.D.; Thaler, R.C.; Kenny, B.P.; Hurt, S.S.; Fitzner, G.E.; Apple, J.; Warren, K. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    One hundred and forty-four finishing pigs (initial weight 126 lb) were utilized to determine the effects of PST dosage (4 or 8 mg PST' head^-1day^-1 ) and dietary lysine level (.8, 1,0, 1.2, or 1.4%) on growth performance ...
  • Effects of ultra pig krave extra® on starter pig performance
    Stoner, G.R.; Nelssen, J.L.; Hines, R.H.; Johnston, M.E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    A growth study and a preference study were conducted to evaluate the effect of a commercially available flavoring agent on starter pig performance. A total of 192, 3-wk old, weaned pigs were utilized. A 2-phase starter ...
  • Folic acid supplementation for sow diets
    Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Folic acid is an essential B-vitamin for swine, and green, leafy plants are an -excellent source of this vitamin. Even though pigs cannot synthesize folic acid, bacteria in their lower gut can, making feces another source ...

    Stoner, G.R.; Nelssen, J.L.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    A growth study was conducted to evaluate the possibility of replacing dried skim milk (DSM) with select menhaden fish (SMFM) in a high nutrient density diet. A total of 210, 3wk- old weaned pigs was utilized. Diets were ...
  • Space requirement of finishing pigs fed to heavier weight
    Hines, R.H.; Goodband, R.D.; Nichols, D.A.; Nelssen, J.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1988)
    Two trials, using a total of 240, crossbred, finishing pigs were conducted to evaluate 7, 9, and 11 ft^2 space allowance per pig from approximately 115 lb to a market weight of 250 lb. Pigs were removed individually each ...
