Effects of particle size and mixing time on uniformity and segregation in pig diets

Amornthewaphat, N.; Behnke, Keith C.; Hancock, Joe D. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-02-25)

Diet uniformity, as represented by the coefficient of variation (CV), improved as mixing time was increased from 15 to 120 seconds and(or) com particle size was decreased from 1,200 to 400 ~m. Segregation occurred during ...
Effects of expanded whole soybeans on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in nursery pigs

Cao, H.; Hines, Robert H.; Jiang, J.M.; Park, J.S.; Froetschner, J.R.; Maloney, C.A.; Hancock, Joe D.; Behnke, Keith C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-02-25)

As expected, ADG, ADFI, F/G, and digestibility of DM and N were improved in nursery pigs when cone pressure was increased during dry and moist expanding of whole soybeans. These response were quadratic for the most part, ...
Effects of expander conditioning of corn- and sorghum-based diets on pellet quality and performance in finishing pigs and lactating sows

Johnston, S.L.; Hines, Robert H.; Kennedy, G.A.; Maloney, C.A.; Traylor, S.L.; Sorrell, S.P.; Hancock, Joe D.; Behnke, Keith C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-02-25)

Pellet durability index was similar for sorghum- vs com-based diets but was greater for expander-conditioned pellets than standard-conditioned pellets. For finishing pigs, ADG, F/G, and carcass measurenlents were similar ...
Effects of conditioners (standard, long term, and expander) on pellet quality and growth performance in nursery pigs

Johnston, S.L.; Hines, Robert H.; Maloney, C.A.; Traylor, S.L.; Sorrell, S.P.; Hancock, Joe D.; Behnke, Keith C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-02-25)

In our first experiment, digestibilities for DM, N, and GE were greater and F/G was better for pigs fed pelleted diets than for pigs fed meal diets. However, we observed no advantages in ADG or F/G with long-term conditioning. ...
Effects of diet complexity and processing method on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in nursery pigs

Traylor, S.L.; Hines, Robert H.; Johnston, S.L.; Sorrell, P.; Behnke, Keith C.; Hancock, Joe D.; DeRouchey, Joel M. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-02-25)

A complex diet formulation resulted in greater digestibility of nutrients and a trend for greater ADG for d 0 to 14 of the experiment. However, for d 14 to 28 and overall (d o to 28), diet complexity did not affect growth ...
