Effects of specialty proteins as alternatives to bovine or porcine spray-dried plasma in non-medicated diets fed to weaned pigs housed in an unsanitary environment

Crenshaw, J. D.; Campbell, J. M.; Polo, J.; Stein, H. H.

2017 Translational Animal Science

doi:10.2527/tas2017.0040 pmid:32289105

Abstract Two experiments were done to compare growth performance of pigs weaned at 21 ± 2 d of age that were housed in unsanitary pens and fed non-medicated diets containing alternative proteins versus spray-dried porcine (SDPP; Exp. 1) or bovine (SDBP; Exp. 2) plasma. Experiment 1 used 360 pigs...

Feeding a calf starter containing highly digestible corn may improve calf growth

Casper, David P.; Srivastava, Shruti; Strayer, Brittney

2017 Translational Animal Science

doi:10.2527/tas2017.0041 pmid:32704658

Abstract New corn hybrids have been developed by Masters Choice (MC) that vary in energy density due to an altered starch structure that improves ruminal and intestinal starch digestibility. Twenty-nine (1 to 3 d old; 40.6 ± 1.72 kg) Holstein heifer and 2 Holstein bull calves (31 total) were...

Effects of space allocation on finishing pig growth performance and carcass characteristics

Thomas, L. L.; Goodband, R. D.; Woodworth, J. C.; Tokach, M. D.; DeRouchey, J. M.; Dritz, S. S.

2017 Translational Animal Science

doi:10.2527/tas2017.0042 pmid:32704659

Abstract A total of 405 pigs (PIC 327 × 1,050) were used in 2 experiments (Exp. 1, initially 66.1 ± 1.8 kg BW, Exp. 2 initially 60.8 ± 2.5 kg BW) to examine the effects of space allocation on finishing pig growth performance and carcass characteristics. Pigs were randomly allotted to pens on...

The age of surgical castration affects the healing process in beef calves

Norring, Marianna; Mintline, Erin M.; Tucker, Cassandra B.

2017 Translational Animal Science

doi:10.2527/tas2017.0044 pmid:32704660

Abstract Castration is painful for calves. Castrating at an earlier age is often recommended, but little is known about how this affects the healing process or the pain experienced. We compared incision closure, swelling and pain sensitivity of beef calves surgically castrated at 3 (range 0 to 8...

Effects of agronomic factors on yield and quality of whole corn plants and the impact of feeding high concentrations of corn silage in diets containing distillers grains to finishing cattle

Burken, D. B.; Nuttelman, B. L.; Gramkow, J. L.; McGee, A. L.; Sudbeck, K. M.; Gardine, S. E.; Hoegemeyer, T. C.; Klopfenstein, T. J.; Erickson, G. E.

Abstract Corn plants were sampled over 2 consecutive years to assess the effects of corn hybrid maturity class, plant population, and harvest time on whole corn plant quality and yield in Nebraska. A finishing experiment evaluated the substitution of corn with corn silage in diets with corn...

Journal Article

Digestibility and performance of steers fed varying inclusions of corn silage and modified distillers grains with solubles to partially replace corn in finishing diets

Burken, D. B.; Nuttelman, B. L.; Jolly-Briethaupt, M. J.; Gramkow, J. L.; Gardine, S. E.; Klopfenstein, T. J.; MacDonald, J. C.; Erickson, G. E.

2017 Translational Animal Science

doi:10.2527/tas2017.0046 pmid:32704662

Abstract Two finishing and 1 digestibility experiment evaluated the partial substitution of corn with corn silage and corn modified distillers grains with solubles (MDGS). Steers were used in Exp. 1 (n = 295; 467 ± 52 kg) and Exp. 2 (n = 225; BW = 348 ± 27 kg) in a 2 × 2 + 1 factorial arrangement...

Evaluation of raw pork as a commercially manufactured diet option for zoo-managed African wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica)

Iske, C. J.; Morris, C. L.; Kappen, K. L.

2017 Translational Animal Science

doi:10.2527/tas2017.0047 pmid:32704663

Abstract Second to beef, pork is a major protein source produced in the US. Properly sourced and handled pork could be utilized as a protein option for zoo-managed carnivores. Concerns of high levels of microbial populations in raw meat diets are common. The objectives of this study were to...

Effects of ractopamine hydrochloride on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of heavy-weight finishing pigs sent for slaughter using a 3-phase marketing strategy

Rickard, J. W.; Allee, G. L.; Rincker, P. J.; Gooding, J. P.; Acheson, R. J.; McKenna, D. R.; Puls, C. L.; Carr, S. N.

2017 Translational Animal Science

doi:10.2527/tas2017.0053 pmid:32704664

Abstract A total of 2,158 crossbred pigs was used to evaluate the effects of feeding 7.4 mg/kg ractopamine hydrochloride (RAC) on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of heavy-weight finishing pigs sent to slaughter using a 3-phase marketing strategy. The study was performed from...
