  • Effect of diet and method of feeding on performance of pigs weaned at three weeks of age
    Clarkson, J.R.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Four trials involving 600 pigs weaned at 15 to 23 days were conducted to evaluate pig performance as affected by added whey and method of feeding during the first week after weaning. Pigs fed 20% dried whole whey gained ...
  • Effect of diet complexity and physical form on performance of starter pigs and on efficiency of feed processing
    Pollmann, S.; Behnke, K.C.; Allee, G. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    In two trials 330 crossbred pigs averaging 12 pounds were used to evaluate the effect of starter diet complexity and physical form on average daily gain, feed efficiency, and cost of gain. In a processing efficiency trial, ...
  • Effect of space allowance with and without antibiotic on performance of weaned pigs
    Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Two feeding trials were conducted to evaluate 1.5, 2.5, and 3.5 sq. ft. of space allowance for the four week old weaned pig. In addition, performance of pigs fed an antibiotic (ASP 250) versus no antibiotic at each space ...
  • Estrous synchronization and fertility in allyl trenbolone-treated gilts
    Stevenson, J.S.; Schmidt, W.E.; Davis, D.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Onset of estrus in gilts fed allyl-trenbolone for either 14 or 18 days was controlled effectively. The stage of the cycle at the beginning of treatment had little effect on the synchronization response. More than 97% of ...
  • Farrowing duration and its effects on pig performance
    Wheat, J.D.; Hines, R.H.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Based on the first 76 farrowings recorded, average duration (the time between the birth of the first pig and of the last pig in the litter) was 129.09±7.28 minutes, and the average time interval between pigs was 15.71± 1.02 ...
  • Growing vegetables and flowering plants in a greenhouse supplied with swine-building exhaust air.
    Greig, J.K.; Spillman, C.K.; Koch, B.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Exhaust air from a Kansas State University swine-finishing house provides C02 and possibly other gases that are being used by vegetable plants in a KSU green house. In addition, a rock-storage system reduces fuel requirements ...
  • Intermittant antibiotics vs. continuous antibiotics for the finishing pig
    Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    The use of low or high level antibiotics fed continuously or intermittantly (2 week rotation) to 310 finishing pigs was evaluated in two trials. No significant improvements were noted for rate of gain or feed per lb. of ...
  • Performance of weanling pigs as influenced by feeding insect-and fungal-damaged grain sorghum
    Dietz, J.C.; Behnke, K.C.; Allee, G.A.; Deyoe, C.W. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Using 128 crossbred pigs with an average initial weight of 18.3 Kg, we determined the effect that insect- and fungal-damaged sorghum would have on the pigs' performance. No differences were found in daily feed consumption ...
  • Plasma and milk oxytetracycline levels in post parturient sows
    Schoneweis, D.; Hummels, S.; Schulteis, L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Plasma and milk samples were collected from three sows injected with LA 200 at 4 hours after injection and at 24-hour intervals thereafter. The single dose was calculated at 1 ml/22 pounds.
  • Prostaglandin F2α to induce farrowing in sows
    Davis, D.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Alternate groups of sows were synchronized, with prostaglandin, to farrow within a certain time or to serve as controls. The objective was to determine if baby-pig survival or litter-weaning weight would be improved by ...
  • Rapid ID of diarrhea causing K88 E. coli
    Mills, K.W.; Phillips, R.M.; Kelly, B.L.; Baughman, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    The efficiency of the standard agglutination test, Y-1 mouse adrenal cell test, and infant-mouse gastric test was compared with a recently developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting the K88 pilus ...
  • Soybean protein in milk replacer diets for baby pigs
    Allee, G.L.; Hsu, P.; Prather, R.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Two trials, involving 108 pigs, were conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing milk protein with various levels of soybean protein in milk replacer diets. Pigs fed diets in which 25 or 50% of the milk protein was ...
  • Value of adding fat to finishing diets to alleviate heat stress
    Nichols, D.A.; Ames, D.R.; Hines, R.H.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    Crossbred barrows, observed at temperatures of 62 and 95°F, were fed either a control or a fat added diet. Pigs housed at 95°F ate significantly less feed, gained slower, and were less efficient than littermates housed at ...
  • Whey, steam rolled or whole oats, and fishmeal or meat and bone scraps for weaned pigs
    Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1981)
    In two feeding trials, the use of whey, steam rolled or ground oats, fishmeal or meat and bone scraps in starter diets for the weaned pig was evaluated. In Trial I, pigs fed the basal corn-soybean meal diet gained 5% slower ...
