Phytase has been shown to consistently improve the bioavailability of phytate phosphorus for pigs. However, only about 60 to 70% of the phytate P in a corn-soy diet is made available when supplemented with an optimal phytase dose. The use of high available P (HAP) should provide an additional strategy for improving the bioavailability of phytate P in pigs. In experiments 1 and 2, growth perform...

Analyses of covariance were used to relate corn yields to population densities of Pratylenchus hexincisus in South Dakota dryland corn or P. scribneri in irrigated corn. The relationship for P. hexincisus was Y = 5,825 - 0.14X - 0.03X' where Y = yield (kg/ha), X = number of P. hexincisus per gram of dry root at midseason and X' = number at harvest. The relationship for P. scribneri was best des...

An experiment was conducted to determine the true ileal digestibility (TID) and the true total tract digestibility (TTTD) of acid-hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE) in extracted corn oil, high-oil corn, distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), corn germ, and high protein distillers dried grains (HP DDG) and to compare these values to the TID and TTTD of AEE in full-fat soybeans. Nineteen barro...

Two finishing trials were conducted to determine the effects of adding different types of corn bran, a component of corn gluten feed, on cattle performance. In Trial 1, 60 English crossbred yearling steers (283 +/- 6.7 kg) were used in a completely randomized design with four dietary treatments. Treatments were diets with no corn bran, dry corn bran (86% DM), wet corn bran (37% DM), and rehydra...

Sixty-four yearling steers (345 ± 4.2 kg BW) were used to study the effects of degree of dry-rolled corn processing and corn dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) inclusion on feeding and ruminating behavior, G:F, and carcass characteristics. Steers were assigned randomly to 1 of 4 experimental treatments (n = 16 per treatment): 1) coarse-rolled (2.68 mm) corn and 20% DDGS, 2) coarse-rol...

in order to study the effect of intercropping of corn with bean and bitter vetch and farmyard manure (fym) on corn nutrition, a factorial experiment was carried out on the basis of randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the factors were types of intercropping systems at levels of sole bean, bean+corn, sole bitter vetch, bitter vetch+corn, sole corn, and fym at levels of 0, 3...

Sixty-four yearling steers (345 ± 4.2 kg BW) were used to study the effects of degree of dryrolled corn processing and corn dried distillers grains plus solubles (DDGS) inclusion on feeding and ruminating behavior, G:F, and carcass characteristics. Steers were assigned randomly to 1 of 4 experimental treatments (n = 16 per treatment): 1) coarse-rolled (2.68 mm) corn and 20% DDGS, 2) coarse-roll...

This study estimated the fermentation characteristics and nutrient value of corn-lablab bean mixture silages relative to corn silages. The effects of feeding corn-lablab bean mixture silages on nutrient apparent digestibility and milk production of dairy cows in northern China were also investigated. Three ruminally cannulated Holstein cows were used to determine the ruminal digestion kinetics ...

Two experiments were conducted to measure the energy and nutrient digestibilities in NutriDense corn and other cereal grains. An additional objective was to evaluate the effect of balancing diets with AA on the values measured for DE and ME of corn varieties. In Exp. 1, 6 growing pigs were fitted with a T-cannula in the distal ileum and allotted to a 6 x 6 Latin square design to measure apparen...

an experiment employing a factorial arrangement of three levels (0, 8 and 16%) of canola meal (cm), two levels (0.15 and 0.25%) of nonphytate phosphorus (npp), and two levels (0 and 450 unit/kg; as fed basis) of microbial phytase was conducted using 216 hy-line w36 laying hens from 39 to 47 weeks of age. the birds receiving cm consumed more (p < 0.05) feed than birds receiving corn-soybean meal...
