Nutritive Value of Aerobically or Anaerobically Processed Swine Waste

B. G. Harmon, D. L. Day, D. H. Baker and A. H. Jensen

University of Illinois, Urbana 61801

Abstract

The oxidation ditch provides a feasible means of collecting swine waste and an environment for biologically enhancing the waste to single-cell protein. Attempts to concentrate solids by allowing a fraction of the ditch contents to circulate through a settling-skimming tank, thereby floating solids to the surface, yielded a product low in protein and detrimental to performance of rats and swine. The oxidation ditch mixed liquor serving as a nutrient solution mixed with dry feed significantly (P<0.05) improved weight gain and feed efficiency of finishing swine fed a dry diet that was marginal in protein. The nutrient solution containing 3% dry matter increased protein intake 2.5% and lysine intake by 0.1%. Addition of nutrient solution to corn alone did not significantly increase gain or efficiency.
