  • Pelleting corn-soybean meal swine diets
    Skoch, E.R.; Binder, S.F.; Deyoe, C.W.; Allee, G.L.; Behnke, K.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    One hundred forty-six pigs were used to study the effects of steam pelleting a corn-soybean meal diet on pig performance. Treatments included ground meal, meal steam conditioned to 80 C (176 ̊F) before pelleting, meal ...
  • Performance of pigs fed corn, sorghum, or wheat with 0 or 4% added fat
    Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    We used 96 crossbred pigs averaging 8.3 kg (19.3 lbs.) to compare performances with sorghum, corn, or wheat with 0 or 4% added fat (tallow). The trial ended when pigs averaged approximately 220 pounds. Grain source (sorghum, ...
  • The relationship between body measurements and performance traits of selected barrows carried to heavy weights
    Carnahan, D.H.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    Forty-seven Yorkshire barrows were selected for large and small scale test groups by using body height and length as a selection index. Initially the index between groups differed; however, the same measurements gave ...
  • Selection for muscling in Durocs
    Wheat, J.D.; Kropf, D.H.; Hines, R.H.; Na-Lampang, P. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    Select line pigs were compared with those in the control line for growth patterns, production traits, and carcass quality. Heritability and genetic correlations were calculated for certain production and carcass traits ...
  • Teat necrosis in newborn gilts
    Schoneweis, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    Marked enlargement and edema of the vulva are often noted in newborn gilts. An accompanying, but less conspicuous, lesion is enlarged, engorged mammary glands. Although not fully understood, the changes are thought to ...
  • Using oral E. Coli milk vaccine to control colibacillosis
    Schoneweis, D.A.; Gaeth, V. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    Colibacillosis is still a costly disease to swine producers in spite of new antibiotics and other products and procedures used to prevent or treat the disease. A recent aid in controlling the disease is the oral E. coli ...
