  • Effect of fat thickness and temperature on ADG and F/G ratio in finishing swine
    Nichols, D.A.; Ames, D.R.; Hines, R.H.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    Fat and lean pigs were observed at temperatures of 0(32F), 5(41F), 10(50F), 15(59F), and 20C(68F). In comparing fat and lean pigs no significant differences were observed in feed-to-gain ratio or average daily gain. Pigs ...
  • Effect of feeding oats and oat hulls on performance of weanling pigs
    Thulin, A.J.; Hines, R.H.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    Two hundred twenty-eight Yorkshire pigs, weaned at 5 weeks of age and averaging 8.4 kg. (18.46 lbs) were used to determine how feeding them various levels of oats, oat hulls, and oats plus fat would effect their performance. ...
  • Evaluation of a concentrated milk replacer and a vitamin-amino acid-iron-electrolyte supplement on baby pig survival and performance
    Hines, R.H.; Schoneweis, D.A. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    Litters offered a concentrated milk replacer and the vitamin amino acid, iron-electrolyte supplement, weighed the same as control litters at day 10, 14, 21, and 28. Blood analysis revealed no difference in packed cell ...
  • Evaporative cooling systems for swine
    Ames, D.R.; Nichols, D.A.; Hines, R.H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    During heat stress swine must rely an evaporation as a mechanism for heat loss. Providing water via sprinklers, showers, and foggers is a practical method of reducing heat stress. It is imperative in any evaporative system ...
  • Modification of KSU swine finishing facility hovers, floors, or supplemental heat
    Hines, R.H.; Koch, B.A.; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 1978)
    Two trials were conducted to evaluate the benefits of modifying the KSU swine finishing barn by adding hovers, flooring, or both with and without supplemental heat. In trial 1, pigs with no supplemental heat, hover or ...
  • 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 ...
