Molasses, Sugar (Sucrose), Corn, Tallow, Soybean Oil and Mixed Fats as Sources of Energy for Growing Swine¹

University of Hawaii, Honolulu

Abstract

CANE molasses has been used at relatively high levels in diets of growing swine (Brooks and Iwanaga, 1967). A need for adding a concentrated energy source such as fat to these high molasses diets was apparent. Ly and Preston (1969) demonstrated that sugar could be used to upgrade the energy level of high molasses diets but data are not available to evaluate swine diets containing sugar as the prime source of energy.

Fat added to swine diets has generally improved rate and efficiency of gains (Day et al., 1953; Sewell, Tarpley and Abernathy, 1958; Brooks and Thomas, 1959; Pond, Kwong and Loosli, 1960; Clawson et al., 1962; Greeley et al., 1964; Hale, Johnson and Warren, 1968). In other trials, efficiency of gain was increased without an increase in rate of gain (Kropf, Pearson and Wallace, 1954; Seerley, Poley and Wahlstrom, 1964; Brooks, 1967a). An increase in carcass fat with the addition of fat to the diet has been reported (Bowland and Berg, 1959; Kuryvial, Bowland and Berg, 1962; Seerley et al., 1964).
