Lab activities

Brenda completed the animal part of her experiment on phosphorus digestibility of palm kernel and cobra expellers and was busy with lab work.

Oscar completed the lab work on his 3 experiments to determine energy and nutrient digestibility in fermented soybean meal.

Kate completed the animal part of an experiment to measure the phosphorus digestibility in 8 different sources of meat and bone meal.

Grant completed 2 experiments to confirm the composition of diets that will be used to titrate the Trp to Lys ratio in weanling pigs. He also completed the literature review and one additional chapter for his dissertation.

Ferdinando initiated an experiment to measure AA digestibility in different blood products fed to weanling pigs.  

Ferdinando also completed the animal part of an experiment to determine the AA digestibility in different corn co-products.

Jung Lee completed all lab work and all calculations on his experiment to evaluate effects of adding different ingredients to DDGS-containing diets, and he also started writing the manuscript from this experiment.

Caroline started writing the manuscript on her work in which she measured the AA digestibility in alternative protein sources for finishing pigs.

Scott completed the animal work and most of the lab work on his experiment to determine the effect of pig age and BW on energy and nutrient digestibility and on endogenous losses of P.

Diego started an experiment to measure the digestibility of P in alternative protein sources.

Kate initiated an experiment to determine the DE and ME in alternative protein sources.

Kate also initiated an experiment to determine the Lys requirement of 20 to 50 kg Genetiporc gilts.

Sarah measured the in vitro digestibility of energy in 40 samples of corn grain and compared results with in vivo data.

Jin Yoon initiated an experiment to measure the in vitro digestibility of Lys in 21 sources of DDGS.

Dr. Sulabo summarized data from experiments that determined the energy and AA digestibility in palm kernel and copra expellers when fed to growing pigs.

Dr. Sulabo also initiated work to calculate the digestibility of energy and nutrients in more than 40 different sources of corn grain.  

Travels

Dr. Stein participated in the Illinois Livestock Conference and gave an invited presentation entitled: “Distillers dried grains with solubles in diets fed to pigs.

Dr. Stein also participated in the NRC meeting Wood Hole, MA, and then travelled to Washington, DC where he gave an invited talk at the International Phytase Symposium that was entitled “Standardized total tract digestibility of P in diets fed to pigs”.

Dr. Stein also travelled to New Delhi, India, and participated in a conference entitled “The Value of Local Industry & International Academia in Creating Nutritional Solutions in India”. His talk was entitled “The role of protein and amino acids in human nutrition".
