The effects of distillers dried grains with solubles and corn gluten feed substitutes in growth diets of Boer-type goats

Tran, Sophia M.; Crane, Alison R.; Lattimer, James M.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2019-05-09)

This study was commenced to obtain more knowledge in the growing field of goat production. The objective of the study is to compare goat growth and the economical values of the diets for Boer-type goats. The three types ...
The effects of medium chain fatty acids as alternatives to zinc oxide or carbadox in nursery pig performance

Bone, Madison L.; Lerner, Anne B.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2019-05-09)

There is an increased consumer pressure to limit the use of feed based antibiotic in nursery pig diets. A total of 360 weanling pigs (DNA 200×400; 5.4 ± 0.07 kg) were used in a 35-d growth experiment with 6 treatments to ...
The effects of medium chain fatty acids in mash and pelleted diets on growth performance of broilers

Nichols, Gage E.; Stark, Charles R.; Delfelder, C.J.; Beyer, R. Scott; Braun, Michaela B.; Wecker, H.K.; Evans, C.E.; Woodworth, Jason C.; Jones, Cassandra K.; Paulk, Chad B. (2018-02-05)

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effects of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) in mash and crumbled broiler diets. A total of 400 male chicks (Cobb 500; initial BW 41.8 g) were housed in 4 Petersime ...
The effects of monensin sodium and Xylanase on corn and wheat based diets

O'Leary, Kirsten; Delfelder, C.J.; Beyer, R. Scott; Stark, Charles R.; Evans, C.E.; Yoder, Ashton D.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2017-05-05)

Due to increase in consumer concern about the use of antibiotics in broiler chick feed, xylanase was tested against monensin sodium to observe if the xylanase had better growth performance in broiler chicks. By comparing ...
The effects of replacing soybean meal with dried distiller's grain and corn gluten feed on Boer-type grower rations

Edington, Jordan E.; Crane, Alison R.; Lattimer, James M.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2019-05-09)

Evaluating different Boer goat grower rations is important in being cost effective with goat growth and performance. There have been few research experiments done on goat growth. The objective of this experiment was to ...
The effects of replacing soybean meal with dried distillers grains with solubles in a growing Boer goat diet

Hanson, Jessica M.; Crane, Alison R.; Lattimer, James M.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2018-02-05)

The objective was to determine what the impact of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) has in a growing Boer goat diet, specifically on ADG, ADFI, G:F, and carcass traits. Information ...
The effects of replacing soybean meeal with dried distillers grains with solubles in Boer goats

Zurschmiede, Josephine M.; Crane, Alison R.; Lattimer, James M.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2018-02-05)

Internationally, the meat goat industry has been increasing. A census calculated that the goat population intended for meat purposes went up one hundred million in just ten years worldwide (FAOSTAT 2002 and 2012). In the ...
The effeects of incerasing GleptoForte dosage on newborn piglet blood and growth parameters

Wecker, Haley K.; Williams, Hayden E.; Jones, Cassandra K.; DeRouchey, Joel M.; Tokach, Michael D.; Woodworth, Jason C.; Goodband, Robert D.; Dritz, Steven S.; Holtcamp, A. (2017-12-08)

The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of increasing Gleptoforte dosage on newborn piglet blood and growth parameters. A total of 336 suckling pigs (DNA 241 x 600, initially 3.83 ...
The impact of varying protein sources on goat growth and feed cost

Mitchell, Allianna R.; Sorensen, Rachel J.; Crane, Alison R.; Lattimer, James M.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2018-12-07)

Feed is the number one expense for farmers, accounting for 50% of costs. There is minimal research on meat goat diets. Thus, this project is crucial to helping farmers choose the best diet for the goats while minimizing ...
The improvement of carbohydrate digestibility in wheat-based diets with Xylanase

Burg, Elizabeth R.; Delfelder, C.J.; Beyer, R. Scott; Stark, Charles R.; Evans, C.E.; Yoder, Ashton D.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2017-05-05)

An increasing problem in agriculture today is the pressure from consumers to reduce the use of antibiotics in poultry feed. However, the producers still must maintain animal welfare. One possibility would be to replace ...
Use of dried distillers grains with soluables (DDGS) for incremental replacement of soybean meal (SBM) in a Boer goat diet

Behrens, Anna A.; Crane, Alison R.; Lattimer, James M.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2018-02-05)

Dried distiller’s grains with solubles is a co-product of ethanol manufacturing. It is highly available in the Midwest and is relatively inexpensive compared to soybean meal. There is a 17% savings when purchasing DDGS ...
Use of exogenous Xylanase for improvement of nutrient digestibility in broiler chicks

Moniz, Madison M.; Delfelder, C.J.; Beyer, R. Scott; Stark, Charles R.; Evans, C.E.; Yoder, Ashton D.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2017-05-05)

Due to consumers growing concern of the use of antimicrobials on livestock, the industry is working towards finding alternatives. Antimicrobials not only provide protection against bacterial infection but also help with ...
Variables impacting sanitation efficacy in university swine barns

Staggs, Alexander J.; Muckey, M.E.; Jones, Cassandra K. (2017-05-05)

Health is a primary concern for pork producers. It is essential to make sure barns are cleaned between groups of pigs to prevent horizontal disease transmission by using standard cleaning procedures. However, there is ...
