Low-level antibiotics in growing-finishing swine rations.

Studies of high level copper supplementation to rations for growing swine.

Managing variability in decision making in swine growing-finishing units

BACKGROUND Analysis of data collected from pig farms may be useful to understand factors affecting pig health and productive performance. However, obtaining these data and drawing conclusions from them can be done at different levels and presents several challenges. In the present study, information from 688 batches of growing-finishing (GF) pigs (average initial and final body weight of 19.1 a...

Limiting Amino Acids in Low-protein Corn-soybean Meal Diets for Growing-finishing Swine 1 ,2

Experiments were conducted with growing and finishing swine to evaluate the effectiveness of various amino acid additions to low-protein corn-soybean meal diets. Two feeding experiments were conducted with growing swine each including a 16% protein positive control diet. In the first, a 14% protein diet served as the negative control while in the second trial it was a 12% protein diet. Amino ac...

Evaluation of NutriDense low-phytate corn and added fat in growing and finishing swine diets.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of NutriDense low-phytate corn in conjunction with increasing added dietary fat on growing and finishing pig performance. Diets in both experiments were corn-soybean meal-based, with yellow dent or NutriDense low-phytate corn and 0, 3, or 6% added choice white grease arranged in a 2 x 3 factorial design. There were 25 to 28 pigs per pen and...
