Effects of phytase and mycotoxin control strategies in nursery pig diets and determining finishing pig lysine requirements
… (DON). One experiment using a total of 360 nursery pigs was used to determine the effect of increasing phytase on nursery pig growth performance and bone ash characteristics. Two experiments using a total of 4,223 pigs were used to determine the optimal dietary standardized ileal digestible …

INVESTIGATION OF ACUTE STRESS IMPACT ON NURSERY PIG GASTROINTESTINAL FUNCTION AND ABILITY OF BIOACTIVE COMPONENTS OF GARLIC TO MITIGATE STRESS-INDUCED PHYSIOLOGICAL CHANGES
… of post-weaning feed and water deprivation on nursery pig growth performance, gastrointestinal function, and ability of garlic-derived diallyl disulfide (DADS) and diallyl trisulfide (DATS) to mitigate deprivation-induced effects. For the first experiment, the effects of a 24-h post-weaning …

Effect of Sensory Additives on Sow Lactation Performance, Subsequent Reproductive Performance, and Nursey Pig Performance
… additive on sow lactation performance and nursery pig performance. Five groups of sows were farrowed, three during winter (October, December and January) and two during summer months (June, July, August). Sows were weighed, and back fat depth was measured, at 110 d of gestation prior to …

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
… corn with and without 2 adsorbents on nursery pig performance. Use of naturally contaminated corn instead of fumonisin culture material more approximates what would occur under industry conditions. Three 21 d studies were conducted using 30 to 32 two wk old post-weaned individually …

The Safety and Adequacy of Galactooligosaccharides and Fructooligosaccharides in Infant Pig Formula
… Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) supplementation in nursery pig diets on growth and efficiency of food utilization. Forty-eight 4-day old crossbred pigs (1.628 ± .037 Kg BW) were randomly assigned to 1 of 8 diets: 1) milk-based formula containing Type 2 GOS and Type 1 FOS (4 + 1 g/L); 2) soy-based …

Effects of Commercial Feed Additives on Growth Performance and Gut Microbiota of Nursery Pigs
… production, feed additives are often added to nursery pig diets to increase nutrition digestibility, enhance intestinal health, and prevent or mitigate disease, with the ultimate goal of improving growth performance. This thesis performed a longitudinal analysis using next-generation sequencing …

The impact of soybean derived trypsin inhibitor proteins and soybean hulls on nursery and grow-finish pig nutrient digestibility, growth performance, and carcass composition
… hinder efficiency at high amounts in growing pig diets. Therefore, it is important to understand how to incorporate these ingredients into swine diets to optimize performance. Interestingly, our understanding of using soybean hulls in growing pig swine diets is not fully understood when one …

Utilization of energy in high-fiber diets fed to pigs
… utilization of energy in high-fiber diets fed to pigs. Experiment 1 determined the DE, ME, and NE of diets with 0, 15, or 30% wheat bran added to a corn-soybean meal-based diet fed to growing pigs. Indirect calorimetry also was used to determine O2 consumption and CO2 and CH4 production to …

Effect of circovirus vaccination on immune responses, viral load, and growth performance of pigs under field conditions
… (PCV2) has become a standard practice to improve pig mortality and growth rate in PCV2-affected herds. Unfortunately, there has been little field-based research evaluating factors which affect circovirus vaccination. The focus of this research was on potential vaccination-affecting factors such as …

Dietary effects on pig health
… because they provide physiological activities to pigs to improve their health and performance by modulation of microbial populations in the digestive tract and/or immune system. The 6 experiments described in this dissertation were conducted to evaluate whether specific dietary factors can be …
