Effects of combinations of wheat, corn or hulless barley with hulled barley supplemented with soybean meal or canola meal on growth rate, efficiency of feed utilization and carcass quality of market pigs

The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of feeding system on the growth rate and carcass quality of crossbred Improved Jezersko-Solčava x Texel (JSRT) lambs and to evaluate the effect of sex on these traits. The trial was conducted in nature according to the traditional rearing systems. The trial included 44 crossbred lambs, which were born and reared until the slaughter in three different flocks. In the age of 10 days suckled lambs were offered with ad libitum corresponding diets according to the feeding system. All lambs were slaughtered in seven consecutive days by the same procedure. The effect of feeding system significantly affected daily gain from birth to slaughter, EUROP carcass conformation and shoulder width. Likewise, the effect of sex significantly affected daily gain from birth to slaughter and internal fatness of carcasses. According to carcass cuts the feeding system significantly affected only the proportion of neck and leg. Considering meat quality traits, feeding system had a significant effect on the pH 45 and CIE a* values. In this study, we could speculate that more than the feeding system the growth and the carcass traits as well as meat traits were affected by the amount of the supplement.

Effect On Growth

The effects of sex and age of castration of males on growth rate, feed efficiency and carcass characteristics in bacon type swine were measured using 16 pigs each as gilts, entire boars, and boars castrated at birth, 6, 12, 16, and 20 weeks of age. Castration at 20 weeks was too late since some pigs reached 200 pounds live weight before that age. Boars consumed less feed daily than barrows and gilts, were thinner in loin fat, and yielded a higher percentage of shoulder than gilts. The carcasses of boars and gilts were longer, had less fat covering over the shoulder and back, a larger area of loin, and a higher iodine number than those castrated late. Acceptability tests showed that sex or age of castration did not affect the flavour, odour, or tenderness of the meat.Purebred breeders can delay castration for better selection of boars without any serious effect on growth, physical carcass characteristics, and feed requirements. Although the market discriminates against boars, it appears questionable whether castration is necessary when boars are slaughtered at 200 pounds before they reach the age of 150 days.

Significant Difference

SUMMARYGrowth performance and carcass quality (linear measurements) were studied in pigs grown from 25 to 90 kg on barley stored and prepared in different ways. Half the barley was dried to about 14% moisture content for storage and half was not dried but treated with 0·8% propionic acid. Each was given after hammer-milling (3·2 mm screen) or rolling. A total of 144 pigs was used at four centres.The performance and carcass quality of pigs given acid-treated barley were as good as those given dried barley. While feed utilization, expressed on the basis of air-dry feed, was poorer for pigs fed on acid-treated barley this difference disappeared when account was taken of the different moisture contents of the barley samples. Pigs fed on diets based on milled barley grew more quickly, had better feed utilization but greater fat measurements than pigs fed on rolled barley. There was a significant interaction between storage method and feed preparation (milling or rolling). Pigs given the acid-treated barley grew more quickly when it was in the milled form than when it was rolled, whereas for the dried barley there was a small, non-significant difference in favour of the rolled form.

The biological availability of biotin in canola meal (CM), cereal grain, cereal grain plus CM, and soybean meal (SBM) was estimated, using 140 pigs in the 10- to 20-kg weight range. In exp. I, pigs (six/treatment) were individually housed and fed a basal casein-cornstarch diet with 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 or 250 μg d-biotin kg−1 to generate data for a dose-response curve based on plasma biotin concentration. Other pigs were fed CM, SBM or soyprotein isolate (SPI) included in the diet. In exp. II, pigs were housed in pairs and four pairs were fed diets based on cereal grain or cereal grain plus CM. Results (exp. I) showed a higher correlation between daily biotin intake and plasma biotin (r = 0.835, P < 0.01) than on growth rate (r = 0.627, P < 0.05). The regression for plasma biotin (Y) on biotin intake (X) computed from the linear portion of the curve (i.e., 0-200 μg added biotin kg−1) was[Formula: see text]Biotin bioavailability in various feedstuffs was highest for corn (101.2%), followed by SBM (85.5%), CM (70.9%), and wheat (33.3%), triticale (25.9%), sorghum (25.1%) and barley (24.0%).

SUMMARYA by-product of the distilling industry designated ‘distillers’ grains plus solubles' was evaluated using forty-eight growing pigs. The product was included at 0, 14·7 and 25% in three diets in which the proportion of other constituents was adjusted to give similar concentrations of TDN, dry matter and crude protein.The performance and carcass quality of pigs receiving 0% and 14·7% of the by-product in the diet was similar, but inclusion at 25% significantly reduced growth rate (g/day) from 632 for the 0% diet to 578.

Red Tilapia

Abstract Red tilapia is kind of freshwater culture fish is quite popular because it has several advantages compared with other types of freshwater fish. To fullfil the demand of red tilapia can be overcome by cultivation. Effort to increase the production of red tilapia is to improve the quality of feed. The purpose of this study was to try the effect of the use of sword bean seed meal on the growth rate, survival rate and feed efficiency of red tilapia. The research method is experimental with completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and four replications. The treatments used were: (A) sword beans seed meal at 0% and soybean meal by 50%, (B) 10% sword beans seed meal and 40% soybean meal, (C) 20% sword beans seed meal and 30% soybean meal, (D) 30% sword beans seed meal and 20% soybean meal and (E) 40% sword beans seed meal and 10% soybean meal. The main parameters that measured were growth, survival rate and feed efficiency. Secondary parameters measured were water quality. Analysis of the data using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and to know the difference between treatments using Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Results showed the administration of sword bean seed meal on feed rations provide a significantly different effect (p<0.05) on the growth and feed efficiency but not significantly on survival rate of red tilapia (p>0.05 ). Highest daily growth rate obtained on treatment B on feed containing 10% of sword bean meal (1.20 %) was significantly different than treatment A (1.02 %), C (0.88 %) , D (0.85 %) and E (0.75 %) . Lowest daily growth rate was treatment E that significantly different with treatment A and B but not significantly different with treatments C and D. Highest feed efficiency obtained on treatment B (30.29 %) was not significantly different than treatment A (27.56 %), C (25.95 %) and D (27.78 %). Lowest feed efficiency was treatment E (17.84 %) significantly different than treatment B. Subtitution of sword bean seed meal in feed rations gave result that was not significantly different effect on the level of survival of red tilapia. Water quality of red tilapia rearing media was temperature range between 25-28° C, pH 7-8, dissolved oxygen 2-5 mg/L and ammonia 1.5 to 3.0 mg/L.

Feeding Trial

Four stations co-operated in a statistically analysed feeding trial to compare barley and oats in self-fed finishing rations. Pigs fed barley gained 0.25 lb. more per day, consumed more TDN and calories daily, had higher dressing percentages, and received lower commercial grades for carcass quality. They had more back fat but Advanced Registry (AR) scores were not significantly different.There was no improvement in commercial grades or AR scores when pigs were slaughtered at 185 instead of 200 lb. liveweight, although lighter pigs had less back fat. Significant differences between stations demonstrate importance of considering genetic and environmental influences when interpreting results of nutrition studies.
