An Evaluation of a Yeast-Derived Mannan Oligosaccharide and Its Mode of Action in Swine
… RTM. In a meta-analysis of 54 comparisons of nursery pigs fed Bio-Mos RTM versus no Bio-MosRTM, there was an overall 4.12% improvement in growth rate with a more pronounced response (4.60%; P < 0.05) to Bio-MosRTM seen in pigs with a slow growth rate during the first 1--2 weeks post-wean. A 2 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The impact of soybean derived trypsin inhibitor proteins and soybean hulls on nursery and grow-finish pig nutrient digestibility, growth performance, and carcass composition
… was to evaluate optimizing growth performance in nursery and grow-finish pigs using diet formulations that include soybean hulls and soybean antinutritional proteins. To accomplish this overarching objective, a series of studies were conducted and outlined across four research chapters (Chapter 2, …

Effects of mannan oligosaccharide on immune function and disease resistance in pigs
… on immune function and disease resistance in pigs. Study 1 evaluated whether MOS in both in vivo and in vitro systems regulates cytokine production by alveolar macrophages (AMφ) in response to in vitro microbial challenge models. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- stimulated AMφ from MOS-fed pigs …

Copper from copper hydroxychloride in diets for growing pigs increases feed efficiency, improves energy utilization and changes intestinal microbial activity
… intestinal permeability, and lipid metabolism of pigs. The first 3 experiments were conducted to determine effects of Cu hydroxychloride on digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME), apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy and acid hydrolyzed ether extract (AEE), diarrhea …

Evaluation of pelleting process parameters on feed nutrients, starch gelatinization and pig growth performance
… portion of these treatments were then fed to 180 nursery pigs (PIC 327 × 1050; initially 12.6kg) in an 18-d study. Treatments included: 1) non-processed mash (negative control); 2) pelleted diet conditioned for 30 s (positive control); 3) pelleted diet conditioned for 15 s and reground; 4) …

Maternal programming of piglet microbiomes
… and a dietary prebiotic on gut microbiomes of nursery pigs. The gut microbiomes of primiparous mothers and offspring displayed greater microbial diversity and altered composition at weaning when compared to multiparous animals. The effects of maternal parity lasted throughout the post-weaning …

Effect of Feed Additives and Toxic Elements on Swine Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, Immune Function and Reproductive Performance
… (Exp 2&3) and semen quality (Exp 3), weaned pigs (Exp 1), growing gilts (Exp 2) and growing boars (Exp 3) were randomly allotted to dietary treatments. Treatments for Exp 1 during phase 1&2 were: (1) Positive Control (PC), formulated to meet NRC (2012) nutrient requirements; (2) Negative …

Impact of exogenous factors on amino acid digestibility in non-ruminants
… 2 examined effect of the carbohydrase mixture in pigs fed a high DDGS diet. Ileal cannulated growing pigs (n = 8, 64.3 ± 0.5 kg) were allotted to 4 dietary treatments in a replicated 4 Ã 4 Latin Square design. Control and DDGS (40%) diets were supplemented or not with a mixture of carbohydrases. …

Hybrid rye may partially or fully replace corn in diets fed to growing or reproducing swine
… for gestating and lactating sows, weanling and nursery pigs, and growing-finishing pigs without negatively impacting growth performance. In experiment 1, 45 sows per treatment were fed diets in which 0, 25, 50, or 75% of corn was replaced with hybrid rye in corn-soybean meal control diets …
