Title: Effect of Phase-Feeding Beef Tallow along with Dried Distiller Grains on Pork Quality Principle Investigator: Jason Apple Year:2009 Scientific Abstract: Soft pork fat in fresh pork bellies has become a major concern of pork processors. Soft pork bellies have been associated with fabrication difficulties, reduced product yields, unattractive bacon slices, reduced product shelf-life, and … Continued
Title: Metabolizable Energy Value of Meat and Bone Meal Principle Investigator: Layi Adeola Year: 2005 Objective: 1. Determine the metabolizable energy (ME) contents of a variety of samples of meat and bone meal for pigs. 2. Assess the variation in metabolizable energy contents of meat and bone meal and develop robust regression equations that relate … Continued
Title: Improving Fat Utilization by the Weaned pig: Effect of Diet Physical Form, Fatty Acid Chain length, and Emulsification Principle Investigator: Kathryn Price and Jack Odle Year: 2005 Objective: We hypothesized that MCT would be better digested than LCT, especially in dry diets, and emulsification would improve digestibility of LCT more than MCT. Lay Summary/Industry … Continued
Title: Evaluating the Impact Under Commercial Conditions of Increasing Diet Tallow Content and Dietary Energy Concentration on Grow-Finish Performance, Carcass Quality and Return Over Feed Cost Principle Investigator: John Patience Year: 2004 Objective: The objectives of this experiment were: 1. To determine the response of growing and finishing pigs to increasing dietary energy concentration on … Continued
Title: Evaluating the Effects of Meat & Bone Meal in Reproducing Sow Diets Principle Investigator: Donald Malmn Year: 2004 Objective: To evaluate the effects of Meat & Bone Meal as a protein (amino acid) source for reproducing sows on reproductive performance, changes in backfat thickness, nursing pig performance, and sow milk compositions over a 3 … Continued
