Abstract:

A growing-finishing ration that substituted 25% L-lysine fortified bulgar millfeed for 20% of the sorghum grain and 5% of soybean meal' (44%) gave weight gains and feed:gain ratios for finishing swine similar to those with the control ration. But pigs receiving rations with the 25% bulgar millfeed replacing 15% of the sorghum grain and 10% of the soybean meal gained significantly (P<.0l) slower and 25% less efficiently, so we did not evaluate using more than 25% of the bulgar mil1feed in rations for finishing swine.
