Cooperative Regional Studies with Growing Swine: Effects of Unidentified Factor Ingredients on Rate and Efficiency of Gain of Growing Swine

Abstract

The National Research Council, Committee on Nutrient Requirements of Swine (1968) suggests that the earlier evidence on unidentified factors should be reexamined in view of more exact information on recognized nutrients. The possibility of certain ingredients contributing either or both organic and and inorganic components other than known nutrients for the growing pig has not been precluded by the NRC Swine Committee (1968). Plumlee et al. (1966) reported improved baby pig gains by the inclusion of corn distillers dried solubles or the methanol soluble fraction in semi-purified diets. Both corn distillers dried solubles and fish solubles improved the performance of baby pigs fed diets containing a high level of dried skimmilk in experiments reported by Gage et al. (1961). Becker, Jensen and Terrill (1960) concluded that performance of growing pigs was not improved by additions of dried corn distillers solubles, dried corn distillers grains with solubles, dried whey, dehydrated alfalfa meal, or condensed fish solubles to a cornsoybean meal diet fortified with minerals, vitamins and antibiotics.

¹ The committee during 1966 to 1967 and 1967 to 1968 included the following members: D. E. Becker or A. H. Jensen, Illinois; J. H. Conrad, Indiana; V. C. Speer, Iowa; B. A. Koch, Kansas; J. A. Hoefer or E. C. Miller, Michigan; R. J. Meade, Minnesota; L. F. Tribble. Missouri; E. R. Peo, Jr., Nebraska; W. E. Dinusson or R. Harrold, North Dakota; H. S. Teague, Ohio; R. W. Seerley or R. C. Wahlstrom, Soufh Dakota; F. J. Giesler, Wisconsin, and O. G. Bentley, Illinois, Administrative Advisor.

² Appreciation is expressed to Dr. L. Michaud, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Rahway, N. J. for supplies of the vitamin-antibiotic mixture to Dr W W Fraser Hardy Salt Co St Louis Mo of dried corn distillers grains with solubles, Mr. Vincent W. Nielsen. Midwest Dried Milk Co., Dundee, Illinois for supplies of dried whey, Mr. J. Steele Culbertson, Director. The National Fish Meal and Oil Association, Washington, D. C. for the fish solubles and fish solubles-soybean meal blend used in this cooperative experiment.

³ The committee is indebted to V. C. Speer, Iowa State University for the statistical analyses of the data, and for the final copy of the manuscript.
