Diet mixing time affects nursery pig performance.
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of mixing time (mixer efficiency) of diets containing several low-inclusion ingredients (crystalline AA, ZnO, a medication, and vitamin and trace mineral premixes) on growth performance of nursery pigs. In a pilot study, mixing efficiency of a 1,360-kg capacity, horizontal ribbon mixer was evaluated with salt of different particle sizes (...
متن کاملInfluence of feed flavors and nursery diet complexity on preweaning and nursery pig performance.
In Exp. 1, 50 sows and their litters were used to determine the effects of adding a feed flavor to the creep diet on the proportion of pigs consuming creep feed ("eaters") and preweaning performance. Sows were blocked according to parity and date of farrowing and allotted to 2 experimental treatments: 1) litters fed a creep diet with no flavor (negative control) or 2) negative control diet with...
متن کاملEffects of Diet Particle Size on Pig Growth Performance, Diet Flow Ability, and Mixing Characteristics
Cereal grains are the primary energy source in swine diets. Therefore, not only must producers be concerned about the composition of the grain, but also how it is processed so the pig can fully utilize the nutrients. Because feed represents 65 to 75 percent of overall production costs in a swine operation, improving the efficiency of feed utilization will have a tremendous impact on the cost of...
متن کاملEFFECTS OF INGREDIENT AND WHOLE DIET IRRADIATION ON NURSERY PIG PERFORMANCE Swine Day 2001
Two trials were conducted to determine the effects of irradiation of individual ingredients or the whole diet on growth performance in nursery pigs. The response was similar for both trials with pigs fed diets containing irradiated spray-dried animal plasma or soybean meal having increased (P<0.05) ADG compared with pigs fed the control diet with no irradiated ingredients or the complete diet t...
متن کاملEvaluation of Dietary Electrolyte Balance on Nursery Pig Performance
A total of 2,880 pigs (PIC 327 × L42; initial BW 11.4 lb) were used in a 35-d growth performance trial evaluating the effects of dietary electrolyte balance (dEB) on growth performance of nursery pigs. There were 30 pigs per pen (60 pigs per double-sided feeder) and 12 replications (feeder) per treatment. Pens of pigs were allotted by BW and sex on arrival, and randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dieta...
