The Value of Solvent Extracted Rice Bran in the Rations of Growing-Fattening Swine¹

Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station

Abstract

A feeding trial involving forty pigs divided into eight equal lots is reported. Solvent extracted rice bran was fed at two levels in a fairly complete ration. The design was an incomplete factorial which included control rations. Both control rations contained corn as the main cereal grain and fish meal. They differed only in that one had 0.5 percent APF supplement containing vitamin B₁₂ and aureomycin.

In three rations the solvent extracted rice bran was included at the level of IS percent of the total ration. In the other three rations it was included at the level of 30 percent of the total ration. In each of these series of three rations, one ration contained fish meal and no APF supplement. There was also one ration containing fish meal plus the APF supplement and the third one contained no fish meal but the APF supplement.

On the basis of these data the following conclusions seem justified.

² The authors wish to acknowledge the assistance of Professor R. M. Crown for collecting the fat samples and to Mr. Clebert LeBlanc for aid in handling the animals. They are indebted to the American Rice Growers Cooperative Association, Houston, Texas; to the Lederle Laboratories, Pearl River, New York; and to the Louisiana Menhaden Company, Cameron, Louisiana, for generally supplying the rice bran, the APF supplement (APF #5) and the fish meal respectively for this study.
