Effects of feeding a fumonsin (FB[subscript 2]) naturally contaminated corn at various levels, with and without 2 adsorbents on the growth performance, blood, and liver chemistry of nursery pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Three studies were conducted to determine the effects of diets containing various concentrations of fumonisin FB1 supplied by naturally contaminated corn with and without 2 adsorbents on nursery pig performance. Use of ... -
Effects of reduced protein and diet complexity on performance and cost of nursery pigs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)Two 35-d experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of reducing crude protein by 2.5% and diet complexity with amino acid supplementation on performance and feed cost during the nursery phase. In Exp. 1 and 2, ... -
Evaluation of heat-processed sorghum, high-oleic and low-trypsin inhibitor soybean cultivars as alternatives for corn and conventional soybeans for broilers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Four 21-d experiments were conducted to compare soybean meal (SBM) from high oleic to parent soybean cultivars on growth performance, energy and ileal AA (IAA). Soybean meal was prepared by laboratory-scale mechanical ... -
The importance of the supplementation of zinc in nursey pig diets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)Two 28-d experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of feeding pharmacological concentrations of Zn, from organic and inorganic sources, on growth performance and intestinal microbial population in nursery pigs. ... -
Protein source selection in nursery pigs during choice-feeding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)The animal processing industry is continually growing to meet the demands of a growing human population. It is estimated that with the increasing human populations, the demand for animal proteins will be increasing more ...
