Six bioassays were conducted to determine the ideal ratios of several amino acids relative to Lys. Young male crossbred chicks were fed diets based on corn gluten meal and synthetic amino acids that… (More)
Two experiments were conducted with New Hampshire x Columbian chicks fed a corn-soybean meal diet and 1 experiment was conducted with chicks fed a dextrose-isolated soy protein diet to examine the… (More)
There is currently much ongoing research and interest for developing new processing technologies to produce corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). The current study evaluated a high… (More)
Total phosphorus analysis was performed on 20 samples of corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), and three experiments were conducted to determine the bioavailability of P in different… (More)
Experiments were conducted to assess protein solubility in .2% KOH as an indicator of soybean protein quality for chicks and pigs and to assess effects of particle size on protein solubility. As the… (More)
Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of age on apparent MEn and apparent amino acid (AA) digestibility of various diets for New Hampshire x Columbian (Experiments 1 and 2) and… (More)
The in vivo protein quality of 14 meat and bone meals (MBM) was evaluated in three chick growth assays and a 48-h excreta collection assay using conventional and cecectomized roosters. In addition,… (More)
The objective of this study was to evaluate several nonfeed removal methods compared with feed removal for induced molting of laying hens. An experiment was conducted using 576 Dekalb White hens (69… (More)
Previous research from our laboratory has shown that phytase, citric acid, and 1alpha-hydroxycholecalciferol [1alpha-(OH) D3] individually improve phytate P use in young chicks fed a P-deficient… (More)
Several experiments were conducted to evaluate the variation in nutrient content and digestibility among different commercial samples of DDGS, the effects of different processing methods and feed… (More)
