Effect of adding fat and(or) milk products to the weanling pig diet on performance in the nursery and subsequent grow-finish stages.

چکیده
Six experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of fat in diets containing a high level of milk products for weanling pigs. In Exp. 1, 192 pigs (6.6 kg and 23 d) were used to determine whether milk products (0 or 40%) in the diet influenced the utilization of fat (0 or 10%). No fat x milk product interactions were found. Adding milk products to the diet improved (P < .01) ADG, ADFI, and gain/feed (G/F). Adding fat to the diet did not influence performance. In Exp. 2, 3, and 4, 576 pigs (6.0 kg and 20 d) were used to determine the influence of fat level on performance. Adding soybean oil (0, 3, 6, or 9%) to the diet from d 0 to 14 after weaning had no influence on growth performance. Increasing soybean oil (0, 2, 4, or 6%) in the diet from d 14 to 35 had no influence on ADG; however, G/F improved linearly (P < .001). In Exp. 5, 196 pigs (7.5 kg and 26 d) were used to determine the influence of fat source (soybean oil, corn oil, or tallow) on performance. Pig performance was not different among fat sources. In Exp. 6, 240 pigs (5.4 kg and 21 d) were used to determine the influence of fat and(or) milk product inclusion in the nursery diet on subsequent grow-finish performance. Adding milk products, but not fat, to the nursery diet improved (P < .08) overall performance to market weight. These results indicate adding fat to the diet from d 0 to 14 after weaning had no influence on performance. Adding fat to the diet from d 14 to 35 improved G/F; however, it did not improve ADG or overall performance to market. Diet composition during the nursery period can affect subsequent performance.

Effects of varying nursery phase-feeding programs on growth performance of pigs during the nursery and subsequent grow-finish phases
The present study investigated the effects of varying durations of nursery diets differing in percentages of milk products on growth performance of pigs during the nursery phase (NP) and subsequent grow-finish phase (GFP) to find the feasibility of reducing the use of nursery diets containing costly milk products. A total of 204 21-d-old weanling female and castrated male pigs were subjected to...
متن کاملInteraction of swine nursery and grow-finish space allocations on performance.
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the possible interaction of nursery space allocations and grow-finish space allocations in swine. In Exp. 1, crowding was achieved by varying the number of pigs per pen. During the nursery phase, decreasing the space allocation (0.16 m2/pig vs 0.25 m2/pig; 8 and 12 pens per treatment, respectively) by increasing the number of pigs per pen (18 vs 12) re...

At this study, the effects of adding Iranian acorn flour on growth performance, carcass composition and resistance to salinity stress of common carp were investigated. Experimental diets included: 1) without acorn and not autoclaved diet; 2) without acorn and autoclaved diet for 2 minutes; 3) without acorn and autoclaved diet for 10 minutes; 4) with 10 percent acorn and not autoclaved diet; 5) ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diets containing roasted soybean (R), extruded soybean (E) or their combination (RE) on dairy cow performance and milk fatty acid (FA) profile. Nine multiparous lactating Holstein cows (680 ± 25 kg BW; 90 ± 10 DIM; means ± SD) were randomly assigned to a triple 3 × 3 Latin square design. Dry matter intake (DMI), apparent nutrient dige...
