Effect of spray-dried porcine plasma protein on feed intake, growth rate, and efficiency of gain in mice1

One hundred eight mice were weaned at 21 +/- 1 d and allotted to four dietary treatments: 1) control, 2) control + 4% spray-dried porcine plasma protein (SDPP), 3) control + 8% SDPP, and 4) control + 12% SDPP. Daily gain for males increased with increasing SDPP during wk 1 (P < .01), wk 2 (P < .01), and for the entire 3 wk (P < .01). Daily gain increased quadratically with increasing SDPP for females during wk 1 (P < .05). During the 3rd wk, ADG decreased for females with increasing SDPP (P < .05). Daily feed intake increased linearly (P < .01) with increasing SDPP in all periods. Gain-to-feed ratio (G/F) increased with increasing SDPP during wk 1 (P < .01) and for the first 2 wk (P < .05). During wk 3, G/F decreased with increasing SDPP level (P < .01). Gain-to-feed ratio of females responded quadratically to increasing SDPP during wk 1 (P < .05), whereas G/F of males increased linearly with increasing SDPP level. Gain-to-feed ratio for the entire trial was unaffected by treatment among females (P = .82) but increased linearly with increasing SDPP levels among males (P < .01). Liver weight increased quadratically with increasing SDPP levels for males (P < .05) and females (P < .05). Treatment effect on liver weight per kilogram BW.75 approached significance (P < .10) in females. Male liver weight/100 g BW and liver weight per kilogram BW.75 responded quadratically to increasing SDPP levels (P < .05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Comparison of Norse LT-94 (herring meal) to other protein sources in early-weaned starter pig diets (1994)

Two growth trials were conducted to compare Norse LT-94 to other protein sources in starter pig diets. In trial 1, 270 weanling pigs (initially 13.7 lb and 20 d of age) were used to compare Norse LT-94 (herring meal), select menhaden fish meal, and spraydried blood meal as protein sources in the Phase II diet. Pigs were blocked by weight with six replications of three treatments and 15 pigs per pen. During Phase I (d 0 to 7 postweaning), all pigs were fed the same high nutrient density diet. During Phase II (7 to 28 d postweaning), pigs were fed one of three experimental diets. All Phase II diets contained 10% dried whey and were formulated to 1. 25% lysine and .34% methionine. The positive control diet contained 2.5% spray-dried blood meal. Norse LT-94 (herring meal, 4.06%) and select menhaden fish meal (4.87%) replaced blood meal on an equal lysine basis to form the other experimental diets. No differences occurred in pig performance during Phase II, indicating that Norse LT-94, spray-dried blood meal, and select menhaden fish meal are interchangeable as protein sources when substituted on an equal lysine basis. In trial 2, 230 pigs (initially 18 d of age and 11.0 lb) were used to examine the influence of various combinations of spray-dried porcine plasma and Norse LT-94 on starter pig performance. Pigs were allotted by weight to six replicates of five treatments with six to 10 pigs per pen. Pigs were assigned to one of five dietary treatments with no replacement or 25, 50, 75, or 100% of the spray-dried porcine plasma replaced with Norse LT-94 (herring meal) on an equal lysine basis. Therefore, diets contained 8, 6, 4, 2, or 0% spray-dried porcine plasma and 0, 2.14, 4.29, 6.43, or 8.58% Norse LT-94, respectively. All Phase 1 diets were formulated to contain 20% dried whey, 1.5% lysine, and .44% methionine. These diets were fed from d 0 to 14 postweaning. From d 14 to 28 (Phase II), all pigs were fed a common diet. Replacing spray-dried porcine plasma with Norse LT-94 resulted in a linear decrease in average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) during Phase I and for the overall trial. This response became magnified when greater than 25% of the plasma was replaced with Norse LT-94. Feed efficiency responded in a quadratic manner for the first week of Phase I and for the overall trial, with pigs fed the diet containing 6% spray-dried porcine plasma and 2.14% Norse LT94 having the best feed efficiency. These trials indicate that Norse LT-94 (herring meal) can replace spray-dried blood meal and select menhaden fish meal in Phase II starter pig diets. However, Norse LT-94 (herring meal) cannot be used as a replacement for spray-dried plasma protein in the Phase I diet.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 17, 1994

Influence of spray-dried plasma source on growth performance of weanling pigs (1994)

Six hundred twenty six pigs (initially 9 lb and 13.2 d of age) were used in a 28-d growth trial to determine the effect of spraydried porcine (SDPP), spray-dried bovine (SDBP), and low-ash porcine plasma (LAPP) on growth performance in the early-weaned pig. Pigs were allotted by weight to one of 10 dietary treatments with 8 to 10 pigs per pen and 7 replicate pens per treatment. The control diet was corn-soybean meal-based and contained 14.44% dried skim milk with no plasma added. Each plasma source (2, 4, and 6%) replaced dried skim milk in the control diet. The LAPP is a similar product to SDPP with the ash component removed. Therefore, the protein content is higher, and slightly lower inclusion rates were required at 1.79, 3.59, and 5.38%. Phase I diets were formulated to contain 1.5% lysine, .42% methionine, .9% Ca, and .8% P. SBM was held constant throughout all the diets at 16.31% with 25% dried whey and 4% fish meal added. On d 14 postweaning, all pigs were switched to a common Phase II milo-SBM based diet. Phase II diets were formulated to 1.25% lysine, .35% methionine, .9% Ca, and .8% P; contained 2.5% spray-dried blood meal and 10% dried whey; and were fed in meal form. Adding any of the plasma sources to the diet from d 0 to 7 after weaning resulted in a linear improvement in average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFl). Pigs fed diets containing plasma also consumed more feed and were more efficient in feed conversion (F/G) compared to pigs fed the control diet. Adding plasma to the diet also improved ADG and ADFI from d 0 to 14 postweaning. No interactions occurred between level and source; however, pigs fed diets containing SDPP or LAPP had slightly higher ADFI than pigs fed diets containing SDBP d 0 to 14. Feeding a common Phase II diet from d 14 to 28 postweaning had no effect on growth performance. Overall, the pigs fed the plasma sources had greater ADG and ADFI than pigs fed the control diet. These data confirm that feeding spray-dried plasma protein improves growth performance from d 0 to 14 postweaning.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 17, 1994

Effects of wheat gluten and plasma protein on growth performance and digestibility of nutrients in nursery pigs (1993)

An experiment was conducted to determine the nutritional value of wheat gluten and spray-dried porcine plasma in diets for weanling pigs. For the experiment, 120 pigs (14 lb avg initial body wt) were used in a 35-d growth assay. Treatments fed from d 0 to 14 postweaning were: 1) a dried skim milk-dried whey-soybean mealbased control; and 2, 3, and 4) spray-dried wheat gluten, spray-dried porcine plasma, and a blend of the wheat gluten and porcine plasma used to replace dried skim milk on a protein basis. All pigs were fed the same corn-soybean meal-dried whey-based diet from d 14 to 35. For d 0 to 14, pigs fed porcine plasma protein had greater average daily gain and average daily feed intake than pigs fed wheat gluten. However, for d 14 to 21 (i.e., during the transition period to the phase II diet), pigs fed diets with wheat gluten had the greatest feed intake and rate of gain compared with pigs fed other protein sources during phase I. Overall, pigs fed diets with wheat gluten and(or) plasma protein had greater rates and efficiencies of gain than pigs fed dried skim milk. The results indicate that spray-dried porcine plasma protein improves growth rate for the initial postweaning phase; however, feeding spray-dried wheat gluten during phase I results in improved growth performance during the transition to a phase II diet.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 18,1993

Effect of substituting spray-dried plasma protein for milk products in starter pig diets (1990)

Two growth trials utilizing 444 weaned pigs were conducted to determine the efficacy of substituting spray-dried porcine plasma protein (PP) for dried skim milk (DSM) and/or dried whey (DW) in starter pig diets. Trial 1 was a field study in which 240 pigs were fed either a control diet containing 20% DSM and 20% DW during phase I (0 to 14 d postweaning) and 15% DW and 5% select menhaden fishmeal in phase II (14 to 28 d postweaning) of the 28 d trial. Plasma protein was substituted on a lysine basis for DSM in the phase I diet and for DW in the phase IT diet. Diets were isolactose in both phases. Pigs fed the diets containing PP grew faster and consumed more feed from d 0 to 7 than pigs fed the control. However, pigs fed the control diet compensated during wk 2 to achieve equal performance during phase 1. No treatment differences were detected during phase II or in overall performance. In Trial 2, 204 pigs were allotted to one of the following treatments: 1) control diet containing 20% DSM and 20& DW, 2) as 1 with casein replacing soybean meal (lysine basis; all milk protein), 3) as 1 with PP and lactose replacing 20% DSM (lysine and lactose basis), 4) as 3 with starch replacing lactose (wt/wt), 5) as 1 with PP and lactose replacing DSM and DW (lysine and lactose basis), 6) as 5 with starch replacing lactose, 7) corn-soybean meal plus 20% DW Pigs fed diets containing PP grew faster and consumed more feed than pigs fed the control, casein, or 20% DW diets from 0 to 14 d postweaning. Similarly, overall gains were significantly greater for pigs fed PP than pigs fed the control, casein, and DW diets. Also, pigs fed PP consumed greater quantities of feed over the entire trial than those pigs fed the control or casein diets. Serum was collected on d 13 and analyzed for blood urea nitrogen. Blood urea N was higher for pigs fed PP, indicating that the amino acids in PP are more available to the pig, but not all are utilized for protein synthesis. Skinfold thickness was measured on d 7 following intradermal injections of protein extracts of PP soybean meal and DSM; these data indicate that PP and DSM cause extremely small changes in skinfold thickness compared to soybean proteins.
