Carcass Characteristics
…using an amino acid (AA) adjustment in diets with dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Pens were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 dietary…
…(SID-Lys) to metabolizable energy (ME) on the performance and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs. In the first three experiments, graded levels of energy were fed to determine an optimum ME…
…in average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake, hot carcass weight, carcass yield, carcass ADG, and backfat depth (Table 2), and tended to decrease percentage of removals and mortality…
…(30 birds per pen) until processing on d 42 when carcass weights and part yields, and incidence and severity of WB and WS were assessed. Data were analyzed as a…
…the greatest change from increasing SBM from 19.1 to 22.6%. For late-finishing pigs (Exp. 2), no differences (P > 0.10) were observed for any growth performance or carcass criteria. Experiments…
…0.030) with increasing withdrawal time. There was a linear increase (P = 0.010) in HCW, with a marginally significant increase in carcass yield (linear, P = 0.094) with increasing DDGS…
…NE or decreasing NDF improved (linear and quadratic, P< 0.05) average daily gain (ADG), gain-to-feed ratio (G:F), carcass ADG, and carcass G:F (Table 1); but reduced (linear and quadratic, P<…
This study evaluated the effect of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with DDGS and crystalline amino acids on growth and carcass lean. Pigs (n = 512; 38.51±0.13 kg BW) were blocked…
Soybean meal has been extensively used in animal feeds for its plentiful protein content and excellent amino acid composition. In recent days, as the need for high nutrient-density diets has…
…solubles (DDGS), and DDGS supplemented with crystalline Ile, Val, and Trp (DDGS+IVT). In experiment 1, growth performance and carcass characteristics of pigs (n=288; initial BW=36.9±4.2 kg) were measured in a…
