Oxygen consumption, heart rate and the electrocardiogram of pigs during exertion

Erickson, Howard H.; Faraci, F.M.; Olsen, S.C. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-04-30)

Pigs were exercised for 5 minutes at five different treadmill speeds (1.0-1.8 m• sec^-1 ) (3° incline), while oxygen consumption (MO2), carbon dioxide production (MCO2), and the electrocardiogram (ECG) were continuously ...
Effect of fluctuating hot temperatures on performance and immunity in finishing pigs.

Jensen, M.A.; Blecha, Frank; Hines, Robert H. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-04-30)

Housing pigs in a thermal stress environment reduced gain, intake and feed efficiency. Cell mediated immunity responses were lower under the constant heat stress as well as when the temperature was lowered to a thermal ...
Prediction by a rapid enzymatic procedure of energy values and nitrogen digestibility of diets and feed ingredients for swine

Hsu, A; Allee, G.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-04-30)

A rapid in vitro method has been developed to predict digestibilities of nitrogen, dry matter (DM) and energy in feed ingredients and mixed diets for swine. A total of 21 samples, including nine feed ingredients and 12 ...
Prediction from chemical analyses of energy value and nitrogen digestibility of feed ingredients and diets for swine

Hsu, Ali; Allee, G.L.; Pollmann, D.S. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-04-30)

Nine individual feed ingredients and 12 mixed diets were used in an attempt to select the most suitable regression equation for predicting energy value and nitrogen digestibility from chemical analyses. Samples were analyzed ...
Effect of sarcoptic mange mite infestation on the growth and immunity in growing-finishing pigs

Keeler, G.L.; Pollmann, D.S.; Blecha, Frank; Broce, A.B.; Wooten, E.L. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-04-30)

Twenty -eight pigs were used to evaluate the effect the sarcoptic mange mite infestation on growth and immunity of growing-finishing pigs. Although mange mite infestation did not affect gain, the white blood cell counts ...
