母猪饲料是选择粉料还是颗粒料粉料和颗粒料哪个性价比高

母猪饲料是选择粉料还是颗粒料粉料和颗粒料哪个性价比高母猪的待遇在养鸡场绝对是最好的,其也是在猪场待的时间最久的猪种。
正常一只母猪会在猪场待四五年左右,这期间发情配种怀孕分娩哺乳继续发情配种如此循环,可以说家犬的消耗是非常巨大的。
因为母猪饲料物资供应就显得非常重要,而且还需要根据母猪不同的生理阶段调整饲料,是一门技术活。
那么母猪饲料是选择粉料还是颗粒料?粉料和颗粒料接受度哪个性价比高?母猪料的料型目前主要十种有三种,粉状料,液体饲料和颗粒料。
粉状料又可分为用户自配的粗粉料(简单混合料)和商用细粉料两种。
液体衰落饲料则是欧洲国家近十年来兴起的一种饲料方式,目的是为了减少抗生素和提高母猪的福利;随着近年来钢价的大幅攀升,部分客户意识到自配料与配合料成本相差无几的情况下对配合配合颗料料的需求急剧增加,故而饲料厂开发以应对市场变化。
但是对颗粒大列佩季哈区的使用,一直存在争议,现结合母猪营养生理及生产实践中出现问题,加以剖析,欢迎各位同行拍砖(本文仅代表我个人观点)。
母猪饲料是选择粉料肉类还是颗粒料?粉料和颗粒料哪个性价比高?1、家犬颗粒对粉状料的采食量比颗粒料的采食量大这个事实背后的原因主要是有着发达的牙齿、灵活的舌头和硕大的鼻腔,粉状料对其味觉、嗅觉的刺激使得头期胃液的分泌较颗粒料量大。
唾液淀粉酶对粉料的作用也较颗粒料更为迅速。
因此母猪对粉状料的食欲更强。
在野生状态下,母猪的食物范围很广泛,包括块根块茎类、青绿饲料、谷物籽实、小动物等,商业化的谷物籽实很硬,所以颗粒状的食物并不是母猪首选。
并且,猪有抢食的习惯,一次大量进食颗粒料的后果很严重:未经充分翻动咀嚼的颗料在消化道存留的时间很长,头期消化液水会分泌不足也导致消化道蠕动减缓。
特别是在围产期,母猪食欲下降和变为便秘的出现就成了必然。
2、粉状料较颗粒更“新鲜”众所周知,粉状料不易保存,在北方,夏季库存时间也不能达15天,因其开包后与空气中的氧气接触面积更大,更易被氧化;而颗粒料则不同,经过挤压之后与随后空气接触面积减小,因而可放置越来越长时间。
颗粒料和粉料喂雏鸡哪种更好?

颗粒料和粉料喂雏鸡哪种更好?
雏鸡采食的日粮即可用颗粒料,也可用粉料,但相比较而言,饲用颗粒料饲养效果好,但需注意,雏鸡所用的颗粒料实际上是粗屑饲料,因为颗粒饲料的颗粒形状对雏鸡而言太大了,将颗粒饲料加以粉碎即可。
具体做法为:先制成6—8MM直径的大颗粒,冷却后将其通过对破碎机碾压成碎片状,再经一定孔径的筛孔将其制成3MM直径以下的颗粒,其中1—2周龄雏鸡需1—2MM。
使用粗屑料有如下好处:
饲料养分均匀,避免了粉料在移动时营养分层的现象。
易于采食,适口性好。
减少了饲料抛撒浪费。
在制粒过程中,由于温度较高,对沙门氏菌等其他杂菌有一个灭菌过程。
制粒过程中经受了蒸汽和压力的处理,而使其中的淀粉糊化,从而有利于酶接触到淀粉分子的裂解部位而提高其消化率,便于吸收。
颗粒可增加密度,可多采低能量饲料。
饲喂颗粒料和粉料对育肥猪生长性能、胃形态和胴体品质的影响

2038卷第4饲喂颗粒料和粉料对育肥猪生长性能、胃形态和胴体品质的影响朱秋凤1,张永静2,黄 强3(编译)(1.中国农业大学动物科技学院动物营养学国家重点实验室,北京 100193;2.北京三元禾丰牧业有限公司,北京 102202;3.安徽禾丰牧业有限公司,利辛 236700)为了提高育肥猪的饲料利用率,减少饲料浪费,许多养殖者已经改变或者正在考虑用颗粒料饲喂猪。
然而,由于饲料厂的局限性和物流因素,养殖者可能无法保障一直能为猪提供颗粒料。
因为许多饲料厂或养殖者自己的代加工厂没有足够的能力将所有的饲料制成颗粒,他们选择只把部分饲料做成颗粒,或者干脆不做颗粒料。
目前,几乎没有数据可以表明在育肥期饲喂少量的颗粒饲料可以使猪的生长性能达到最优。
从猪的健康角度来讲,采用颗粒饲料会增加育肥猪胃摘 要:试验选取2 100头猪(PIC 327×1050;初始重为31.5±0.13 kg ),用来评估饲喂颗粒料和粉料对育肥猪生长性能、胃形态和胴体品质的影响,试验期为118 d 。
试验分为6个处理组,猪只根据初始重随机分到6个处理组中(每个处理组有14个栏位,每个栏位25头猪)。
每个处理组中有7个阉公猪栏和7个母猪栏。
所有处理组均采用含15% DDGS 的玉米-豆粕型日粮饲喂。
试验分5个阶段饲喂,分别为 0-28 d 、28-56 d 、56-84 d 、84-98 d 和98-118 d 。
6个处理组分别为0-118 d 全部饲喂粉料、0-118 d 全部饲喂颗粒料、0-70 d 饲喂粉料而70-118 d 饲喂颗粒料、0-70 d 饲喂颗粒料而70-118 d 饲喂粉料、或颗粒料和粉料每两周轮换一次,以粉料开始以颗粒料结束或者以颗粒料开始以粉料结束。
在第110天时,每栏里随机挑选4头猪进行屠宰并收集胃,然后对胃进行溃疡和角质化评分。
结果表明,饲喂粉料和饲喂颗粒料的猪的平均日增重没有差异。
全期饲喂粉料的猪平均日采食量最大(P <0.05),全期饲喂颗粒料的猪平均日采食量最低(P <0.05),其他的处理组处于中间水平(P <0.05)。
养羊喂撒粉料好还是颗粒料好?

养羊喂撒粉料好还是颗粒料好?毫无疑问,当然是颗粒料喂羊好,特别是舍饲羊。
下面小农庄就和大家聊一聊养殖业中的饲料问题。
随着养殖业的规模化进程的推进,养殖业中的各项指标更加标准化、科学化,作为养殖中的重头戏——饲料,也更加的合理化。
饲料的发展过程基本是这样一个经过,单一原粮时代--粉料时代--混合粉料时代--颗粒料时代--膨化颗粒料时代。
从这个演变的过程可以看出,饲料形式的演变越来越科学化、标准化、合理化。
从单一的原粮时代到粉料时代是将原粮粉碎后加湿饲喂的过程,这种变化后的饲料更易于吸收,但粉料容易造成浪费,特别是在禽类的养殖方面表现的更为显著一些,因为羊主要是食草性动物,对精料的要求相对较少一些,但还是需要每天补喂半斤左右的,粉料易于吸收的同时,加湿后饲喂如有残余的话,遇高温特别容易霉变,另外易造成粉尘污染。
从粉料时代到混合粉料时代是指将几种原粮粉碎后混合到一起作为动物饲料的时代,这种变化带来的结果是,饲料更加的科学,营养更全面,更有利于动物的生长发育。
但在这个阶段,容易造成饲料浪费、遇潮霉变及易造成粉尘污染的问题仍然未能解决。
另外又产生了新的挑食问题,这个问题在养羊中不是太明显,但在禽类养殖中比较明显。
从混合粉料时代到颗粒料时代的变化,是将混合粉料压缩成颗粒形式的一种新的饲料形式变化。
它解决了动物挑食与粉尘污染的问题,同时降低了饲料遇潮霉变的风险。
从颗粒料时代到膨化颗粒料时代的发展过程,是一个将饲料熟化压成颗粒的过程,这个过程的变化是原来的生压颗粒料变成了熟化的烘干颗粒料,也就是说原来的颗粒料是生料,现在的颗粒料变成了熟化烘干颗粒料,更加易于动物的吸收,从而全面解决了前面几种饲料形式存在的弊端,大大的提高了饲料的利用率。
以上就是饲料的整个发展演化过程,对于羊料发展到颗粒料时代阶段基本就已经停止了,为什么这样说呢?因为羊的颗粒料要加入草粉,草粉具有体积大质量轻的特点,且熟料主要是针对食粮性动物而言的,所以食草性动物没有必要饲喂熟化后的饲料。

颗粒料制作和粉料调质问题的探讨

颗粒料制作和粉料调质问题的探讨Keith C. Behnke教授美国堪萨斯州立大学谷物科学和谷物工业系秦崇德译前言二十五年前,我们中间很多打算进入饲料业的人都被告知制作颗粒料是一条死路。
这是由于当时笼罩着西方世界的能源危机。
当时只是认为未来的能源价格会过于昂贵因而制作颗粒料简直是浪费。
如今我们每年的颗粒料产量比以往任何时候都高,颗粒料在饲料总产量中所占的比例也比以往任何时候都高。
这在一定程度上是由于能源的相对价格下降了,但主要还是因为畜禽饲养者认识到了饲喂颗粒日粮对畜禽的性能有很多好处。
随着畜禽饲养业综合经营程度的提高,饲养业都必然地转为使用颗粒料,他们认为颗粒料制作是一种有活力的加工方法,可用以提高饲料的营养价值。
但是,在许多情况下,颗粒料都制作得非常差,不过这一加工方法仍然在普遍采用。
据文献报道,最近许多研究都证明了,饲料的性能可随颗粒料质量的改善而得到提高。
此外,我们中间很多与饲料加工商合作的人都感到,颗粒料的质量是非常重要的问题,饲料公司也愿意花费时间和资金来解决这一问题。
然而,关于影响颗粒料质量的各种因素有着什么样的重要性,在人们中间却存在着大量的误解。
影响颗粒料质量的最重要的因素是:饲料配方(40%)、研磨(20%)、调质(20%)、压模选用(15%)以及冷却和干燥(5%);写在前述每一个因素后的百分数代表了该因素在颗粒料总体质量中所起作用的相对大小。
重要的是要看到,配方加上研磨,可在粉料到达制粒机之前就已经决定了颗粒料质量的60%。
因此,许多颗粒料质量问题不可能通过改进调质方法和选用适当的压模而得到解决。
这决不会阻止我们进行改进质量的努力,也决不会使颗粒料加工系统和操作人员不因出厂颗粒料质量太差而受到责难。
本文的目的不是对每一个影响颗粒料质量的因素进行详述,而只是集中讨论一个问题,那就是调质。
虽然调质远比压模或压辊表面的选用更为重要,但这一过程常常受到忽视,业内多数人士对其的理解都很差,无论是设备供应商还是饲料加工者都一样。

Ⅰ组、Ⅱ组仔猪39日龄总重分别为402.7 kg和374.3 kg,平均个体重9.56 kg和8.91 kg,Ⅰ组仔猪体重高于Ⅱ组,差异显著(P<0.05)。
25~39日龄仔猪头均日增重分别为195 g和144 g,Ⅰ组比Ⅱ组高35.42%,差异显著(P<0.05)。
2.2 不同形态饲料对25~39日龄仔猪采食量与料肉比的影响2.3 不同形态饲料对25~39日龄仔猪腹泻率与死亡数的影响2.4 不同形态饲料对25~39日龄仔猪体况与行为的影响Ⅰ组与Ⅱ组25~39日龄仔猪相比,Ⅰ组仔猪喜食,活泼好动,皮肤红润,毛管发亮,体质强健。
Ⅱ组仔猪毛色稍差,毛稍微偏长,但是整体外观情况看来,差异不是很明显。
3 结论与讨论3.1 颗粒料和粉料对仔猪早期断奶优劣势对比本次试验针对颗粒料、粉料2种形态饲料对仔猪生产性能的影响进行了分析。
对Ⅰ组和Ⅱ组25日断奶仔猪体重进行分析,体重差异不显著。
表明试验初始条件较为一致,这是试验结果可靠的前提。
本试验结果显示:25~39日龄仔猪头均日增重Ⅰ组比Ⅱ组高35.42%,差异显著(P<0.05),说明乳猪教槽颗粒料(Ⅰ组)比粉料(Ⅱ组)饲喂仔猪更能显著提高日增重;平均日采食量Ⅰ组比Ⅱ组高10.84%,差异显著(P<0.05),说明教槽颗粒料(Ⅰ组)比粉料(Ⅱ组)适口性好,显著提高了饲料采食量;Ⅰ组和Ⅱ组料肉比分别为1.42和1.73,说明教槽颗粒料(Ⅰ组)饲料报酬高于粉料(Ⅱ组);腹泻率Ⅰ组和Ⅱ组分别为4.4%和5.4%,Ⅰ组比Ⅱ组低1个百分点,差异显著(P<0.05),说明饲喂教槽颗粒料(Ⅰ组)较粉料(Ⅱ组)可一定程度上降低仔猪腹泻率;Ⅰ组仔猪喜食,活泼好动,皮肤红润,毛管发亮,体质强健,Ⅱ组仔猪毛色稍差,毛稍微偏长,但整体外观情况看来,差异不明显。

Exp. Sta., Manhattan, KS 66506-0210.2 Corresponding author Goodband@ABSTRACT: Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of pelleting, diet type1617(fat and fiber level), and withdrawal of dietary fiber and fat before marketing on growth18performance, carcass yield, and carcass fat iodine value (IV) of finishing pigs. Each experimentused 288 pigs (initially 49.6 and 48.5 kg BW, respectively) with 6 dietary treatments arranged as 19202 ×3 factorials. In Exp. 1, main effects were diet form (meal vs. pellet) and diet regimen. Diet21regimens were: 1) a low-fiber, low-fat (corn-soybean meal) diet from d 0 to 81; 2) a high-fiber,22high-fat [30% dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) and 19% wheat middlings (midds)]23diet from d 0 to 64 followed by the low-fiber, low-fat diet from d 64 to 81 (fiber and fat24withdrawal); and 3) the high-fiber, high-fat diet fed from d 0 to 81. Pigs fed pelleted diets hadincreased (P < 0.05) ADG and G:F compared with those fed meal diets. Feeding pigs pelleted2526diets increased belly fat IV (2.9 mg/g) compared with those fed meal diets, with a greater27increase when feeding high-fiber, high-fat diets throughout the entire study (interaction, P <0.05). Pigs fed the low-fiber, low-fat diet throughout had increased (P < 0.001) G:F compared2829with pigs fed the other 2 treatments. Pigs fed low-fiber, low-fat diets throughout the study or pigs30withdrawn from high-fiber, high-fat diets had increased (P < 0.001) carcass yield compared with31pigs fed high-fiber, high-fat diets throughout. In Exp. 2, treatment main effects were diet form32(meal vs. pellet) and diet type (corn-soybean meal-based control, the control with 30% DDGS33and 19% midds, or the control diet with 3% corn oil). The diet containing corn oil was calculatedto produce carcass fat IV similar to diets containing DDGS and midds. Overall, pigs fed pelleted3435diets had increased (P < 0.05) ADG, G:F, and belly fat IV (1.3 mg/g) compared with those fed36meal diets. Pigs fed the diets containing DDGS and midds had decreased (P < 0.05) ADG,carcass yield, and HCW compared with pigs fed the control or corn oil diets and decreased (P <37380.001) G:F compared with pigs fed added corn oil. Belly IV was greatest (P < 0.001) for pigs feddiets with DDGS and midds and lowest for pigs fed the control diet, with pigs fed the corn oil3940diets intermediate. In conclusion, pelleting diets improves pig ADG (approximately 3%) and G:F 41(approximately 6%); however, a novel finding of this study is that pelleting diets fed to finishing pigs also increases belly fat IV.424344Key words: carcass yield, corn oil, distillers dried grains with solubles, finishing pig,45pelleting4647INTRODUCTION4849Studies have observed that up to 30% dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS) can be 50fed without negative effects on growth performance (Widmer et al., 2007; Stein and Shurson,512009; Xu et al., 2010). When DDGS were combined with wheat middlings (midds), however, 52Salyer et al. (2012) observed linear decreases in ADG and G:F as midds were added at 0, 10, or 5320%.54In addition, feeding high levels of DDGS, midds, or the combination of both reduces55carcass yield of finishing pigs (Linneen et al., 2008; Salyer et al., 2012). This is due to increased 56large intestinal weights caused by the high fiber component of the ingredients (Asmus et al,572014). Along with the dietary fiber component from DDGS and midds, the oil content,58particularly C18:2 fatty acids, also increases (NRC, 2012). Iodine value (IV), a measure of59unsaturated fatty acids (UFA), is one method used by packers to assess fat quality in pork.Feeding ingredients high in UFA increases carcass fat IV (Benz et al., 2011), thus producing less6061desirable product for the meat packing industry (McClelland et al., 2012). Reducing orwithdrawing added DDGS and midds before marketing can mitigate some of the negative effects6263on carcass yield and carcass fat IV (Gaines et al., 2007; Asmus et al., 2014; Coble et al., 2014).64The beneficial effects of pelleting swine diets on growth performance of finishing pigs65also have been documented, including increased BW gain and improved feed efficiency (Baird,661973; Wondra et al., 1995), but most of the previous pelleting research has evaluated corn-67soybean meal-based diets with limited inclusion of by-products. In addition, to our knowledge,the effects of pelleting on FA profile and IV of carcass fat have not been reported. Therefore, the 6869objective of these trials was to determine the effects of diet type and form on growth70performance, carcass yield, and carcass fat IV of finishing pigs.717273MATERIALS AND METHODS7475All experimental procedures and animal care were approved by the the Kansas State76University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee.General77Experiments 1 and 2 each used a total of 288 finishing pigs (327 × 1050, PIC,7879Hendersonville, TN) initially 49.6 and 48.5 kg BW, respectively. Pigs were housed in a totally80enclosed, environmentally regulated, mechanically ventilated barn containing 36 pens (2.44 m ×813.05 m). The pens had adjustable gates facing the alleyway and allowed 0.93 m2/pig. Each pen82was equipped with a cup waterer and a single-sided, dry self-feeder (Farmweld, Teutopolis, IL)83with 2 eating spaces located in the fence line. Pens were located over a completely slattedconcrete floor with a 1.20-m pit underneath for manure storage. All pigs were provided ad8485libitum access to feed and water.86Each experiment was arranged as a 2 × 3 factorial. Pens were randomly allotted to 1 of 6experimental treatments with 6 pens per treatment and 8 pigs per pen (4 barrows and 4 gilts per 8788pen). Pigs and feeders were weighed approximately every 2 wk to calculate ADG, ADFI, G:F,89and caloric efficiency on a ME and NE basis. Diets for both experiments were prepared and90pelleted at a commercial feed mill in Beloit, KS (Hubbard Feeds, Inc, Mankato, MN). All91pelleted diets were processed with a Sprout Waldron Pellet Mill, model Ace 501, equipped with92a 4.37-mm diameter die. Prior to pelleting, diets were conditioned with steam at 71°C forapproximately 20 s. A single batch of meal feed was prepared; half was fed as such, and half was9394pelleted. Diets were delivered to feeders using a computerized feeding system (FeedPro;95Feedlogic Corp., Willmar, MN) that recorded all feed additions. Feed samples were taken at thefeeder during each phase. All diets were analyzed for moisture (934.01; AOAC International,96972006), CP (990.03; AOAC International, 2006), ether extract (920.39 A; AOAC International,982006), crude fiber (978.10; AOAC International, 2006), ADF, and NDF. Pellet durability index99(PDI) was determined using the standard tumbling-box technique (S269.4; ASAE, 1996), and100modified PDI was done by adding 5 hexagonal nuts (1.27 cm) prior to tumbling. Percentage101fines (ASAE, 1987) were also measured in duplicate for all pelleted diets, with finescharacterized as material that would pass through a #6 sieve (3,360-µm openings). All pellet 102103quality measurements were analyzed at the K-State O. H. Kruse Feed Technology Innovation104Center.At the end of each trial, pigs were individually tattooed in sequential order to allow for 105106carcass data collection at a commercial packing plant and data retrieval by pig. Hot carcassweights were measured immediately after evisceration and were used to calculate percentage 107108yield by dividing HCW at the plant by live weight at the farm before transport. All carcass fat109samples were collected from the pig’s left side. For both experiments, belly fat samples were110collected from the ventral side of the belly along the navel edge between the 10th and the 12th rib111of each pig. In Exp. 2, fat samples were also collected from the shoulder of each pig112approximately 5 cm dorsal to the medial ridge of the scapula. All fat samples were immediately113frozen after collection and remained frozen until preparation for FA analysis could be conducted.114Fat samples were thawed and adipose tissue was isolated by removing the skin and lean tissue.115Samples were then analyzed for FA profiles using gas chromatography as described in detail byAsmus et al. (2014). Iodine value was calculated using the equation (AOCS, 1998): IV = [C16:1] 116117× 0.95 + [C18:1] × 0.86 + [C18:2] × 1.732 + [C18:3] × 2.616 + [C20:1] × 0.785 + [C22:1] ×1180.723.Experiment 1119120An 81-d trial was conducted to determine the effects of diet form and fiber withdrawal on121growth performance, carcass yield, and carcass fat IV of finishing pigs. Treatment main effects122included diet form (meal or pellet) and diet regimen. The 3 diet regimens were: 1) low-fiber,123low-fat (corn-soybean meal) from d 0 to 81, 2) high-fiber, high-fat (30% DDGS and 19% midds)124from d 0 to 64 followed by low-fiber, low-fat from d 64 to 81 (fiber and fat withdrawal), and 3)high-fiber, high-fat from d 0 to 81 (Table 1). Diets were fed in 4 phases from d 0 to 14, 14 to 40, 12512640 to 64, and 64 to 81. Diets within phase were formulated to contain equal amounts of127standardized ileal digestible (SID) Lys with 0.93, 0.79, 0.69, and 0.63 SID Lys for phases 1, 2, 3,and 4, respectively. Thus, diets contained different SID Lys:energy ratios as dietary energy was 128129not held constant.Experiment 2130131An 87-d trial was conducted to determine the effects of diet form and type on growth132performance, carcass yield, and carcass fat IV of finishing pigs. Treatments were arranged in a 2× 3 factorial with the main effects of diet form and type. The 2 diet forms used were meal or 133134pellet. The 3 dietary types were: 1) corn-soybean meal-based control, 2) control with 30% DDGS135and 19% midds, and 3) control with 3% corn oil (Tables 2 and 3). The corn-soybean meal-based136control provided a baseline, whereas the diet containing 30% DDGS and 19% midds was the137previously established diet from Exp. 1 that allowed for a predictable increase in carcass fat IV.138Extracted corn oil was used in the third treatment to compare to the endogenous corn oil presentin the DDGS. The level of 3% corn oil was selected based on research conducted by Benz et al. 139140(2011) with soybean oil in an effort to obtain carcass fat IV similar to that of pigs fed the diet141containing DDGS and midds. Diets were fed in 4 phases from d 0 to 21, 21 to 45, 45 to 70, and70 to 87. Diets within phase were formulated to contain equal amounts of SID Lys with 0.98, 1421430.86, 0.77, and 0.69 SID Lys for phases 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.Statistical Analysis144Experimental data for both trials were analyzed using analysis of variance as a 2 × 3145146factorial using the MIXED procedure of SAS (SAS Inst. Inc., Cary, NC). Pen was the147experimental unit for all data analysis. For HCW, carcass yield, and carcass fat IV,measurements were collected for each pig, then pen means were calculated and used in the148149model. Experiment 1 included main effects of 2 diet forms and 3 diet regimens and their150interaction as fixed effects, and Exp. 2 included main effects of 2 diet forms and 3 diet types andtheir interactions. Differences between treatments were determined using least squares means 151152with results considered significant at P ≤ 0.05 and a trend at P ≤ 0.10.153154RESULTSExperiment 1155Chemical analysis and pellet quality measurements. Analysis of diets revealed that, as 156157expected, the inclusion of dietary DDGS and midds increased ADF, NDF, crude fiber, and ether 158extract (Tables 4 and 5). Standard PDI was greater than 90% during all phases for pelleted diets 159(Table 6). Percentage fines were low for all diets and phases at less than 10% fines.160Growth performance and carcass yield. No diet form × diet regimen interactions (P > 1610.14) were observed for growth performance during any of the dietary phases or for the overalltrial (Table 7). From d 0 to 64, ADG did not differ among pigs fed different diet forms; however, 162163pigs fed meal diets had increased (P < 0.05) ADFI and poorer (P < 0.05) G:F than pigs fed164pelleted diets. Diet type level did not influence ADG, but pigs fed low-fiber, low-fat diets from d 1650 to 64 had decreased (P < 0.05) ADFI and increased (P < 0.05) G:F compared with pigs fed 166high-fiber, high-fat diets during this period.167From d 64 to 81, pigs fed pelleted diets had increased (P < 0.05) ADG and tended to have 168increased (P = 0.10) ADFI compared with pigs fed meal diets. Feeding pelleted diets also tended 169to increase (P< 0.10) G:F. Pigs previously fed high-fiber, high-fat diets, then switched to low-170fiber, low-fat diets during this phase had increased (P < 0.05) ADG compared with pigs171maintained on the high-fiber, high-fat diets. Pigs fed the low-fiber, low-fat diets throughout the 172trial had intermediate ADG. Pigs previously fed high-fiber, high-fat diets and switched to thelow-fiber, low-fat diet had increased (P < 0.05) ADFI compared with pigs fed low-fiber, low-fat 173174or high-fiber, high-fat diets throughout the trial. Pigs fed low-fiber, low-fat diets throughout thetrial had increased (P < 0.05) G:F compared with pigs fed high-fiber, high-fat diets throughout, 175176and pigs that were withdrawn from the high-fiber, high-fat diet were intermediate.177Overall (d 0 to 81), there was no difference in ADFI between pigs fed the different dietforms. Pigs fed pelleted diets tended (P < 0.10) to have increased final BW and HCW compared 178179with pigs fed meal diets, but diet form did not influence carcass yield. Diet regimen did not180influence ADG for the overall trial, but pigs fed low-fiber, low-fat diets throughout the trial had181decreased (P < 0.05) ADFI and improved (P < 0.05) G:F compared with pigs on the high-fiber,182high-fat withdrawal or pigs fed high fiber, high-fat regimen throughout. Caloric efficiency was183improved (P < 0.05) on an ME and NE basis when diets were pelleted. Feeding the high fiber,high fat regimen resulted in poorer (P < 0.05) caloric efficiency on an ME basis; however, diet 184185regimen did not influence caloric efficiency on a NE basis. Diet regimen did not affect final BW186or HCW, but pigs fed high-fiber, high-fat diets throughout the trial had decreased (P < 0.05)carcass yield compared with pigs fed low-fiber, low-fat diets or those withdrawn from high-fiber, 187188high-fat diets on d 64. Removing high-fiber ingredients (DDGS and midds) from the diet before189harvest improved carcass yield and returned carcass weights to values similar to that of control190pigs fed corn-soybean meal–based diets throughout the trial.191Belly fatty acid composition. Interactive effects between diet form and diet regimen were192detected (P < 0.05) for palmitic (C16:0) and linoleic (C18:2n6c) acid concentrations (Table 8).Pelleting decreased palmitic and increased linoleic acid by a greater magnitude when the diet 193194contained high fiber and fat contents than when the diet was low in fiber and fat. Palmitic and195total C18:2 fatty acids account for the greatest portions of SFA and PUFA, respectively. As aresult, there were also interactions (P < 0.05) for belly fat IV, total SFA, total PUFA, UFA:SFA, 196197PUFA:SFA ratios, and belly fat IV. Pelleting the diets also increased belly fat IV and unsaturated198fatty acids with the magnitude of response being greater when the high fiber diets were pelleted 199as compared to the low fiber diets. On average, pelleting the diets increased belly fat IV by 2.9 200mg/g.201Feeding pelleted diets reduced (P < 0.05) myristic (C14:0), palmitic (C16:0), palmitoleic 202(C16:1), margaric (C17:0), oleic (C18:1n9c), and vaccenic (C18:1n7) fatty acids; however, it 203increased (P < 0.05) linoleic (C18:2n6c), α-linolenic (C18:3n3), eicosadienoic (C20:2), and total 204C18:2 fatty acids (Table 8). As a result, total PUFA and belly fat IV increased (P < 0.05),205whereas total SFA, MUFA, and all other fatty acids decreased (P < 0.05) when pigs were fedpelleted diets. There were no differences (P > 0.10) in stearic (C18:0), arachidic (20:0),206207eicosenoic (20:1), or arachidonic (C20:4n6) fatty acids between pigs fed the different diet forms. 208Compared with pigs fed high-fat, high-fiber diets throughout the trial, pigs fed low-fiber, 209low-fat regimens throughout the trial had increased (P < 0.05) C16:0, C18:0, C18:1n9c,210C18:1n7, total SFA, and total MUFA concentrations, with those fed the withdrawal regimen 211intermediate (P < 0.05). Pigs fed the low-fiber, low-fat diet had decreased (P < 0.05) C18:2n6C, C18:3n3, C20:2, C20:4n6, total C18:2, PUFA, and belly fat IV compared with those fed high-212213fiber, high-fat diets, with those on the withdrawal regimen intermediate (P < 0.05).214Regardless of withdrawal, pigs fed high-fiber, high-fat diets during any period of the experiment had decreased (P < 0.05) C14:0 and C16:1 concentrations and increased (P < 0.05) 215216C17:0 concentrations compared with pigs fed low-fiber, low-fat diets for the entire trial. Feeding 217high-fiber, high-fat diets throughout the experiment decreased (P < 0.05) C20:0 concentrations compared with the other two regimens. No differences were detected in C20:1 among pigs fed 218219the different diet regimens.Experiment 2220221Chemical analysis and pellet quality measurements. Analysis of diets revealed that, as 222expected, the inclusion of dietary DDGS and midds increased ADF, NDF, crude fiber, and ether 223extract (Tables 9 and 10). In addition, ether extract increased due to the inclusion of corn oil, 224which was also expected. Standard PDI was greater than 88% during all phases for pelleted diets, 225with modified PDI ranging from 82.5 to 87.5% (Table 11). Percentage fines were low for all 226diets and phases, ranging from approximately 7 to 14% fines.227Growth performance and carcass yield. No diet form × diet type interactions were observed for growth performance, HCW, or carcass yield for the overall trial (Table 12). Overall 228229(d 0 to 87), pigs fed pelleted diets had increased (P < 0.05) ADG, decreased (P < 0.05) ADFI, 230and improved (P < 0.05) G:F and caloric efficiency compared with pigs fed meal diets (Table 23112). Pigs fed pelleted diets tended (P < 0.10) to have increased final BW, but diet form did not 232influence HCW or carcass yield. Pigs fed diets containing DDGS and midds had decreased (P < 2330.05) ADG compared with pigs fed the control or corn oil diets. Feeding the corn oil diet resultedin decreased (P < 0.05) ADFI compared with pigs fed the DDGS and midds diet, with pigs fed 234235the control diet intermediate. Feed efficiency followed dietary energy, with pigs fed the corn oil 236diet having the greatest (P < 0.05) G:F, pigs fed the DDGS and midds diet having the poorest (P < 0.05), and pigs fed the control intermediate. Pigs fed the DDGS and midds diet also had the 237238poorest (P < 0.05) caloric efficiency on an ME basis; however, when expressed on an NE basis, 239there were no differences in caloric efficiency between diet types. Pigs fed the diet with DDGS and midds had decreased (P < 0.05) HCW and carcass yield compared with pigs fed the control 240241or corn oil treatments.242Belly fatty acid composition. Diet form × diet type interactions were observed (P < 0.05)243for oleic acid (C18:1n9c), total C18:1, linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), total C18:2, total MUFA, and244total PUFA (Table 13). These interactions were a result of a greater magnitude of decrease in245C18:1 and increase in C18:2 fatty acids when the control diet was pelleted as compared with246pelleting the diet containing corn oil, with the diet containing DDGS and midds having an247intermediate response to pelleting. An interaction (P < 0.05) was also observed for mystiric acid248(C14:0) in which pelleting the control diet increased C14:0 concentration compared with feeding249the diet in meal form, but pelleting either of the other 2 treatment diets decreased C14:0concentration, with the greatest decrease observed in pigs fed diets containing DDGS and midds. 250251Feeding pelleted diets also increased (P < 0.05) stearic (C18:0) and eicosenoic (C20:1)252acids and decreased (P < 0.05) vaccenic acid (C18:1n7) compared with feeding meal.253For diet types, pigs fed the control diet had increased (P < 0.05) palmitic (C16:0) and254reduced (P < 0.05) eicosenoic (C20:1) acid concentrations compared with pigs fed the DDGS255and midds or corn oil diets. Compared with pigs fed the control diet, pigs fed the diet containingDDGS and midds had decreased (P < 0.05) stearic acid (C18:0) and total SFA, with those fed the 256257diet containing corn oil intermediate (P < 0.05). Pigs fed diets with DDGS and midds had258increased (P < 0.05) margaric (C17:0) and α-linolenic (C18:3n3) acid concentrations comparedwith pigs fed either of the other 2 diet types.259260No interaction was found between diet form and diet type for belly fat IV. Pigs fed261pelleted diets had increased (P < 0.05) belly fat IV, and there was no evidence that the increasewas influenced by diet type. Belly IV was greatest (P < 0.05) for pigs fed diets with DDGS and 262263midds, lowest for pigs fed the control, and intermediate for pigs fed the corn oil diets.264Shoulder fatty acid composition. Similar to belly fat, there were diet form × diet type 265interactions (P < 0.05) for several fatty acids (C16:0, C17:0, C18:1, C18:2, C20:1; Table 14). 266Pelleting the control diet resulted in a greater increase in unsaturated fatty acids and reduction in 267saturated fatty acids than pelleting the diet containing corn oil, with the response to pelleting the 268diet containing wheat midds and DDGS intermediate. These changes in individual fatty acids led 269to interactions (P < 0.05) between diet form and diet type for total MUFA, PUFA, PUFA:SFA 270ratio, and IV, with tendencies for interactions (P < 0.10) for total SFA and UFA:SFA ratio.271For main effects of diet type, pigs fed the control diet had increased (P < 0.05) myristic acid compared with pigs fed the diets containing corn oil or DDGS and midds. Feeding corn oil 272273to pigs decreased (P < 0.05) vaccenic (C18:1n7) and α-linolenic (C18:3n3) acid concentrations 274compared with pigs fed the control diet, and pigs fed the diet containing DDGS and midds were 275intermediate. Pigs fed corn oil had decreased (P < 0.05) stearic acid (C18:0) concentration276compared with pigs fed the control diet, with a further decrease (P < 0.05) when pigs were fed 277the diet containing DDGS and midds. For main effects of diet form, pigs fed meal diets had278increased (P < 0.05) myristic acid (C14:0) concentrations compared with pigs fed pelleted diets. 279An interactive effect between diet form and oil source was detected (P < 0.05) for280shoulder fat IV, which resulted from pigs fed the control or corn oil diets having higher shoulder 281fat IV when diets were fed as pellets compared with meal form; however, pigs fed the DDGS and 282midds diet had a slight numeric decrease in shoulder fat IV when fed pelleted diets comparedwith meal.283284DISCUSSION285In Exp. 1, feeding diets containing 30% DDGS and 19% midds did not influence ADG 286287from d 0 to 64, but when pigs were withdrawn from the high-fiber, high-fat diet and switched to 288a corn-soybean meal–based diet from d 64 to 81, ADG increased compared with that of pigs thatremained on the high-fiber, high-fat diet throughout. This response was driven primarily by289290increases in ADFI. The diets fed in Exp. 1 were similar to those used by Asmus et al. (2014), 291who investigated the effects of reducing or completely removing DDGS and midds from292finishing pig diets for multiple durations. The authors reported similar increases in ADG and 293ADFI when the high-fiber components were withdrawn from the diet and attributed this effect to 294the bulk density and energy content of the diets; i.e., pigs previously fed high-fiber dietscontinued to consume higher volumetric amounts of feed despite switching to a more energy-295296dense diet. Overall for both experiments, pigs fed the control diets without DDGS or midds had 297similar ADG and improved G:F compared with those fed 30% DDGS and 19% midds for theentirety of each trial. This is in agreement with Salyer et al. (2012), who reported that pigs fed 298299the combination of DDGS and midds had poorer feed efficiency than those fed diets without 300cereal grain by-products. The response to feed efficiency was a result of the energy content in the 301diets, which was further demonstrated by pigs having similar caloric efficiency on a NE basis in 302both experiments. The fact that caloric efficiency was influenced by diet type on an ME basis, 303but not on a NE basis illustrates that NE more appropriately describes the energy differencesbetween the diets in these experiments.304305Feeding pelleted diets improved growth performance compared with feeding meal diets 306in both experiments. The overall improvements in ADG were 4 and 3% for Exp. 1 and 2,respectively, whereas the improvements in G:F were approximately 6% for both experiments. 307308These results are in agreement with Wondra et al. (1995), who observed a 4 to 6% increase in。
