EVALUATION OF GROUND CORN GERM AS AN ENERGY SOURCE IN NURSERY DIETS Swine Day 2001
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two hundred eighty nursery pigs (initially 30.9 lb) were used in a 21-d growth assay to determine the energy value of ground corn germ relative to corn oil in nursery diets. Increasing dietary corn oil linearly decreased average daily feed intake and improved feed efficiency. However, pigs fed diets containing ground corn germ meal had similar gain and feed efficiency as those fed the corn-soybean meal diet without added fat. These results suggest that the added energy provided by corn germ is not utilized as well as that from corn oil.

Fumonisin B(1) and implications in nursery swine productivity: a quantitative exposure assessment.
This study estimated the long-term exposure of fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) in nursery swine diets and associated toxicological adverse effects on negative productivity potential using quantitative exposure assessment. Fumonisin B(1) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium proliferatum and is a common biological contaminant of corn (Zea mays L.) and other grains. Acute effect...

Two experiments utilizing a total of 530 pigs were conducted to evaluate the effects of commercial enzymes in diets containing dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on nursery pig growth performance. In Exp. 1, 180 pigs (initially 19.9 lb) were used in a 27-d growth trial to compare the effects of Easyzyme, Hemicell-W, and Porzyme in diets containing 30% DDGS on weanling pig performance....

Samples of sorghum distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) were collected and analyzed to establish a nutrient database and evaluate the quality and consistency between and within 5 ethanol plants in Kansas and Texas. Each sample (n = 21) was analyzed for AA, DM, CP, crude fiber, crude fat, ash, NDF, ADF, trace minerals, and starch. Mean values (DM basis) were 0.88% Lys, 10.49% crude fat, ...

p R E G N A N T swine exhibit a remarkable capacity to provide nutriment to the developing fetuses during periods of severe protein restriction. Clawson et al. (1963) and Rippel et al. (1965a) observed no deleterious effects on offspring at birth from feeding 5% protein diets during pregnancy. Even an essentially protein-free diet from day 24 of pregnancy to parturition has resulted in normal n...
