Abstract
Influence of nutridense low phytate corn and added fat on growing-finishing pig growth performance (2006)
Highlights
NutriDense corn is a nutritionally enhanced product containing a stacked set of traits to provide greater nutrient density than conventional yellow dent corn
A constant true ileal digestible (TID) lysine:energy ratio of 2.80 g TID lysine:Mcal ME was maintained in all diets, as well a constant available P:energy ratio of 0.90 g/Mcal
There were no differences in growth performance between pigs fed diets containing NutriDense Low Phytate and those fed yellow dent (YD) corn
Summary
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of NutriDense Low Phytate corn in conjunction with increasing amounts of added fat on growing and finishing pig performance. Pigs were fed to those in Exp. 1, with diets based on corn-soybean meal, using either NutriDense Low Phytate or YD corn and 0, 3, or 6% added fat. There was no difference in growth performance between pigs fed diets containing NutriDense Low Phytate and those fed YD corn. These studies indicate that increasing amounts of added fat improved growth performance, regardless of corn source. Have the advantage of having higher amino acid concentrations and less phytate phosphorus
