…was equivalent to 90% of corn net energy. There were 42 replicates per treatment. Pigs were weighed approximately every 2 weeks to calculate ADG, ADFI, G:F, and caloric efficiency. Data…
…BW). For both experiments, pigs were weighed and feed disappearance was measured every 14 d to determine ADG, ADFI, F/G, and caloric efficiency (CE). In the early finishing study, there…
…gain and feed efficiency, respectively, for SBM control diets. Pigs fed DDGS to displace SBM were 2.65 lbs. lighter at marketing with a feed efficiency that was similar between the…
…benzoic acid having increased (P = 0.006) G:F. When evaluating caloric efficiency, pigs fed diets containing benzoic acid had improved (P < 0.001) metabolizable energy (ME) caloric efficiency compared to…
…and SID Lysine:NE ratio was kept constant within dietary phase. The HE L-SBM diet had ca. 52 kcal NE/kg advantage to L, M, H-SBM diets (isocaloric). Early growth (phase 1)…
…indispensable AA increased (P <0.042) in pigs fed pelleted diets compared with mash diets. Average daily feed intake decreased (P=0.001) and G:F and caloric efficiency improved (P=0.001) in pigs fed…
…for 21 d. Pigs were weighed and feed disappearance measured to calculate average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), feed-to-gain ratio (F/G), and caloric efficiency (CE). Pigs used…
