Dietary Available Phosphorus Needs of High Lean Pigs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pigs from a high lean strain reared via a segregated early wean (SEW) scheme were self-fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet containing one of five dietary available phosphorus (AP) concentrations (.30, .40, .50, .60, and .70%) from bodyweights of 7 to 23.5 kg. The dietary AP concentrations were achieved by the addition of monodicalcium phosphate. Dietary available phosphorus concentrations of .70, .50, and .50% were required for maximum growth rate at 8.9, 15.6, and 22.3 kg, respectively. Furthermore, efficiency of feed utilization was optimized at dietary AP concentrations of .70% throughout the study. The results of this study suggest that dietary AP concentrations for high lean pigs is 1.7 to 2.3 times greater than the current NRC (1) estimations for pigs in similar stages of growth.

Dietary Available Phosphorus Needs of High Lean Pigs Fed from 9 to 119 kg Body Weight
Eighteen replicates (9 barrows, 9 gilts) were used to estimate the dietary available phosphorus (AP) needs of a high lean strain of pigs during each of four stages of growth (9 to 37, 37 to 65, 65 to 92, and 92 to 119 kg body weight [BW]). Pigs were self-fed a basal diet supplemented with one of six incremental additions of AP from monodicalcium phosphate. Initially (9 to 37 kg), pigs were fed ...

Growth and digestion experiments were conducted to estimate the digestible P needs of terminal-cross growing-finishing pigs fed sorghum-soybean meal-based diets from 25 to 118 kg. Dietary available P levels approximated the levels recommended by the NRC (1988) or were approximately 25% above or below those levels. Up to 80 kg, dietary treatment did not affect performance; from 80 to 118 kg, the...
متن کاملDietary Available Phosphorus Needs of Pigs Experiencing a Moderate and High Level of Antigen Exposure
and Implications Pigs experiencing a moderate and a high level of antigen exposure were self-fed one of six dietary concentrations (.30, .40, .50, .60, .70, .80%) of available phosphorus (AP) from 14 to 60 pounds body weight. Pigs reared via a management scheme that resulted in a moderate level of antigen exposure consumed more feed daily, gained body weight faster, required less feed per unit ...
متن کاملDietary Thiamin Needs of High Lean Growth Pigs
Ten sets of five littermate pigs with a high genetic capacity for lean tissue growth (350 to 370 g/day) and reared via a segregated-early-weaning scheme were used to determine the dietary thiamin needs of pigs exhibiting a high rate of lean tissue growth. Within each litter, pigs were randomly allotted to one of five dietary thiamin concentrations equivalent to 200, 330, 460, 590, and 720% of t...
متن کاملDietary Niacin Needs of High Lean Pigs
Pigs of a high lean strain reared via an SEW scheme were self-fed a basal diet supplemented with 0, 15, or 30 mg niacin/kg diet from 10 to 27 kg body weight. The basal diet contained 18 mg of total niacin and 9.4 mg of bioavailable niacin per kg diet. Dietary niacin supplementation did not alter pig growth, efficiency of feed utilization, or body nutrient (protein, fat) accretion. Based on thes...
