Evaluating Energy in Swine Diets

2013-07-25 00:31:00| National Hog Farmer

Source: University of Illinois University of Illinois Professor of Animal Sciences Hans Stein believes that pork producers need accurate information on the energy value of fat in feed ingredients to ensure that diets are formulated economically and in a way that maximizes pork fat quality. University of Illinois research has determined the true ileal and total tract digestibility of fat in four corn co-products, as well as in full fat soybeans and corn oil. read more

Changing Swine Diets Impacts Manure Value

2013-07-11 17:48:00| National Hog Farmer

Source: eXtension Livestock and Poultry Environmental Learning Center Changing swine diet formulation has the potential to dramatically change manure values. Iowa State University Extension Swine Field Specialists Dave Stender and Matt Swantek are putting the finishing touches on a spreadsheet to compare the feed savings from diet formulation to the value of nutrients in the manure. Swantek also developed a feeding model to predict the feed cost and manure nutrient changes on a per-pig basis. read more

Study Shows Effects of Mixed GM Diets on Pig Health

2013-06-12 02:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News

GLOBAL - A long-term study of pigs fed a combination of genetically modified (GM) soybeans and GM corn maize has revealed differences in the animals' reproductive and intestinal tracts and liver compared with those fed a non-GM diet, report researchers based in Australia and the US.
