Forty-eight Boer goats were fed a DDGS diet, to which replaced the common SBM diet through 4 separate treatments (Exp. 1 to 4). The experiment is based on evaluating the efficacy of corn dried distiller grains with solubles ...

There has been an increase in consumer pressure to reduce the use of ZnO and antimicrobials in swine diets. Since there is limited research evaluating alternatives on nursery pig growth performance to replace antibiotics ...

Antibiotics are commonly included in nursery pig diets to improve overall health. However, there is increasing regulatory pressure from consumers and limited research on the inclusion/impact of antibiotics. The objective ...

The Boer goat population in the United States has been increasing rapidly within the last decade, but there is little published research regarding the nutrition of this specie. Our research objective is to provide a better ...

Increased pressure from pork consumers to reduce the use of antibiotics and ZnO in diets of nursery pigs creates a need for research regarding antibiotic alternatives. The objective of this study was to compare the effects ...

Carbadox and Zinc Oxide (ZnO) are traditional supplements for nursery pig diets, but have many modern disadvantages, including negative environmental impacts. By testing different medium chain fatty acid (MCFA) supplements ...

Increased pressure on the agriculture to limit antibiotics in livestock has forced the industry to look for alternative diets. This trial assessed if Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA) can replace Zinc Oxide(ZnO) or carbadox ...

Histidine may be the sixth limiting amino acid in practical nursery diets formulated with high inclusion of crystalline amino acids. The first five limiting amino acids are available in feed-grade forms, meaning diets are ...

A total of 360 pigs [(400 × 200, DNA, Columbus, NE initially 6.7 kg BW) were used in a 35-d study to evaluate the effects of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA; C6, C8, and C10) as a dietary additive on nursery pig growth ...

GPR109A is a Gi-coupled receptor for nicotinic acid (NA; niacin) as well as β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB). In cattle, NA is known to suppress the breakdown of adipose triglycerides, primarily by acting on the GPR109A receptor. ...
