Swine Day 1996 USE OF SORGHUM-BASED DISTILLERS GRAINS IN DIETS FOR NURSERY AND FINISHING PIGS
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of sorghum-based distillers dried grains with solubles in isocaloric diets for nursery and finishing pigs. Rate and efficiency of gain in nursery pigs were decreased with 45% or more distillers grains. For finishing pigs, efficiency of gain was improved as distillers grains was increased to 60% of the diet, and carcass fatness was increased by about .1 inch at the highest concentration.

Swine Day 1995 EFFECTS OF DISTILLERS GRAINS ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE IN NURSERY AND FINISHING PIGS
Rate and efficiency of gain were not affected by adding as much as 20% distillers dried grains in isocaloric diets for nursery pigs or 30% in isocaloric diets for finishing pigs. These results demonstrate that the previously suggested maximums of 5% distillers dried grains in nursery diets and 10% distillers dried grains in finishing diets are too conservative. Finally, because the 20% (nursery...
متن کاملEvaluation of commercially available enzymes, probiotics, or yeast on apparent total-tract nutrient digestion and growth in nursery and finishing pigs fed diets containing corn dried distillers grains with solubles
The ability of enzymes, direct-fed microbials, or yeast to enhance nutrient utilization or growth performance in nursery or finishing pigs fed diets containing increased levels of fiber from corn distillers dried grains with solubles is largely unknown. A total of 192 nursery (11.9 kg initial BW) and 96 finishing (98.4 kg initial BW) pigs were allotted to individual pens and fed their respectiv...
متن کاملEffect of Corn Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles (DDGS) on Growth Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Growing-Finishing Gilts with Previous Exposure to DDGS in the Nursery
The inclusion of high concentrations of DDGS (30%) in both the nursery and growing-finishing periods may result in negative effects on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Summary The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the efiects of high concentrations of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS; 30%) on growth performance and carcass characteristics ofgilts, duringgrow...
متن کاملAmino acid digestibility and energy content of deoiled (solvent-extracted) corn distillers dried grains with solubles for swine and effects on growth performance and carcass characteristics.
A study with 3 experiments was conducted to determine the AA digestibility and energy concentration of deoiled (solvent-extracted) corn distillers dried grains with solubles (dDGS) and to evaluate its effect on nursery pig growth performance, finishing pig growth performance, and carcass traits. In Exp. 1, a total of 5 growing barrows (initial BW = 30.8 kg) were fitted with a T-cannula in the d...
متن کاملBoard-invited review: the use and application of distillers dried grains with solubles in swine diets.
Distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) may be included in diets fed to pigs in all phases of production. The concentrations of DE and ME in DDGS are similar to those in corn. Phosphorus in DDGS is highly digestible to pigs and apparent total tract digestibility values of approximately 60% have been reported. The concentration of starch in DDGS is low (i.e., between 3 and 11%), but the con...
