Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of supplementing cracked corn into diets of nursery and finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, 144 pigs were used in a 28-d trial. Pigs (PIC TR4 × 1050; initially 16.5 lb) ...
Effects of sorghum particle size on milling characteristics, growth performance, and carcass characteristics in finishing pigs

Paulk, C.B.; Hancock, Joe D.; Fahrenholz, Adam C.; Wilson, J.M.; McKinney, Leland J.; Benhke, Keith C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2012-02-16)

A total of 200 finishing pigs (PIC TR4 × 1050; average initial BW of 103.2 lb) were used in a 69-d growth assay to determine the effects of sorghum particle size on growth performance. Pigs were sorted by sex and ancestry ...
Effect of sorghum dried distillers grains with solubles on composition, retail stability, and sensory attributes of ground pork from barrows and gilts
