Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1944, the National Research Council has published 10 editions of the Nutrient Requirements of Swine. This reference has guided nutritionists and other professionals in academia and the swine and feed industries in developing and implementing nutritional and feeding programs for swine. The swine industry has undergone considerable changes since the tenth edition was published in 1998 and some of the requirements and recommendations set forth at that time are no longer relevant or appropriate. The eleventh revised edition of the Nutrient Requirements of Swine builds on the previous editions published by the National Research Council. A great deal of new research has been published during the last 15 years and there is a large amount of new information for many nutrients. In addition to a thorough and current evaluation of the literature on the energy and nutrient requirements of swine in all stages of life, this volume includes information about feed ingredients from the biofuels industry and other new ingredients, requirements for digestible phosphorus and concentrations of it in feed ingredients, a review of the effects of feed additives and feed processing, and strategies to increase nutrient retention and thus reduce fecal and urinary excretions that could contribute to environmental pollution. The tables of feed ingredient composition are significantly updated. Nutrient Requirements of Swine represents a comprehensive review of the most recent information available on swine nutrition and ingredient composition that will allow efficient, profitable, and environmentally conscious swine production.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, we have come to depend on plentiful and inexpensive energy to support our economy and lifestyles. In recent years, many questions have been raised regarding the sustainability of our current pattern of high consumption of nonrenewable energy and its environmental consequences. Further, because the United States imports about 55 percent of the nation's consumption of crude oil, there are additional concerns about the security of supply. Hence, efforts are being made to find alternatives to our current pathway, including greater energy efficiency and use of energy sources that could lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions such as nuclear and renewable sources, including solar, wind, geothermal, and biofuels. The United States has a long history with biofuels and the nation is on a course charted to achieve a substantial increase in biofuels. Renewable Fuel Standard evaluates the economic and environmental consequences of increasing biofuels production as a result of Renewable Fuels Standard, as amended by EISA (RFS2). The report describes biofuels produced in 2010 and those projected to be produced and consumed by 2022, reviews model projections and other estimates of the relative impact on the prices of land, and discusses the potential environmental harm and benefits of biofuels production and the barriers to achieving the RFS2 consumption mandate. Policy makers, investors, leaders in the transportation sector, and others with concerns for the environment, economy, and energy security can rely on the recommendations provided in this report.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Effects of Branched Chain Amino Acids and Corn distillers Dried Grains By products on the Growth Performance Carcass and Meat Quality Characteristics of Pigs written by Alvaro Rojo Gomez and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of corn byproducts high-protein died distillers grain (HP-DDG), and dried distillers grain with solubles (DDGS), and branched chain amino acids (BCAA) on the growth performance and meat quality of pigs. The first study evaluated the combined effect of dietary level of DDGS and HP-DDG on the growth performance of wean-finish pigs and carcass and pork quality characteristics. This study demonstrated that DDGS can be included at up to 30% in diets (without HP-DDG) without compromising growth performance of wean-to-finish pigs. However, growth performance was increasingly compromised at higher inclusion levels of both co-products and belly firmness was negatively affected by increasing levels of both DDGS and HP-DDG. A second experiment was designed to define the minimum CP level and whether non-essential amino acids become limiting in low crude protein diets for late finishing pigs. The results of this study demonstrated that late finishing pigs can be fed diets with 9.76% crude protein level supplemented with 0.32 % L-Lys HCL and other essential amino acids without affecting growth rate and that non-essential amino acids were not limiting in the low crude protein diets evaluated. A third study was designed to recreate the negative effects on growth performance of feeding diets with 30% HP-DDG inclusion level and to test if the negative effect of feeding high HP-DDG levels on growth performance can be reproduced by adding excess branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) to standard corn-soybean meal based diet. The results show that the reduction in the growth rates of growing pigs fed diets with 30% HP-DDG inclusion levels may be due to the dietary excesses of leucine present in diets with HP-DDG at 30% inclusion levels. The same effect was not present in finishing pigs. In general, growth performance and belly quality are compromised at higher inclusion levels of both HP-DDG and DDGS. The results of the last studies indicate that leucine level may play an important role on the reduction of the growth performance of pigs fed 30% HP-DDG inclusion levels.

Download or read book Effects of Floor Space and Removal of Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles on Heavy Weight Pig Performance written by Anne Bonner Lerner and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of 5 chapters consisting of a study evaluating space allowance and marketing strategies for pigs raised to 160 kg, three experiments evaluating the impact of removing corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) from finishing pig diets, four studies evaluating the use of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA) as a mitigation strategy for porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), and development of a swine-specific undergraduate research program. In Chapter 1, four treatments were evaluated with decreasing space allowance from 1.17 to 0.71 m2/pig with only one final marketing event, plus two treatments with restricted space allowance and four or three marketing events. Increasing space allowance via increased initial pen inventory increased average daily gain (ADG), decreased average daily feed intake (ADFI), and reduced feed efficiency (G:F). Marketing pigs 3 or 4 times improved G:F compared with to the similar treatment with only one marketing event but resulted in similar weight marketed per pen. In chapter 2, pigs were switched from diets containing corn DDGS to corn- and soybean-meal based diets (CSBM) starting at 76 d prior to market. As time consuming CSBM increased, ADG and final BW increased and G:F improved. Average daily feed intake decreased with increasing time after dietary switch to CSBM. Hot carcass weight increased and iodine value decreased with increasing time after DDGS removal from diets. Chapter 3 also evaluated the removal of corn DDGS from finishing pig diets but utilized two seasonal marketing strategies. Regardless of marketing strategy, switching pigs from DDGS to CSBM resulted in increased carcass yield and decreased iodine value, yet live growth performance was marginally impacted. In chapter 4, four experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of applying MCFA to swine feed on detection and infectivity of PEDV. Applying chemical mitigants both prior to and post-PEDV inoculation was effective at reducing PEDV detection via quantitative real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). When tested individually and in combination and applied before viral inoculation, caproic and caprylic acid appeared to provide the greatest reduction of detectable genetic material. The addition of a 1:1:1 blend of C6:C8:C10 at 0.5% and 0.3% C8 prevented infection in in vivo bioassay. Lastly, chapter 5 presents a model to develop a species-specific undergraduate research program in the context of a swine nutrition program that is currently in use at Kansas State University. This program utilizes both graduate students and faculty to provide mentorship and has several project types that vary in level of student involvement. The program is designed to provide a comprehensive research experience, with an emphasis on including the student in pre- and post-trial activities beyond data collection. A majority of students that complete the undergraduate research program enter graduate or veterinary degree programs upon completion of their undergraduate work and cite undergraduate research as a critical step in their career selection process and professional development.
