By mixing with water lactic acid bacteria and yeasts naturally occurring in the feed proliferate and produce lactic acid, acetic acid and ethano which reduces the pH of the mixture. This reduction in pH inhibits pathogenic organisms from developing in the feed. In addition, when this low pH mixture is fed, it reduces the pH in the stomach of pigs and prevents the proliferation of pathogens such as coliforms and Salmonella in the gastrointestinal tract. For piglets, the use of fermented liquid feed offers the possibility of simultaneously providing feed and water, which may facilitate an easier transition from sow's milk to solid feed. Secondly, offering properly produced fermented liquid feed may strengthen the role of the stomach as the first line of defense against possible pathogenic infections by lowering the pH in the gastrointestinal tract thereby helping to exclude enteropathogens. Finally, feeding fermented liquid feed to pigs has been shown to improve the performance of suckling pigs, weaner pigs and growing-finishing pigs. In this review, current knowledge about the use of fermented liquid feed in pig diets will be discussed. This will include a discussion of the desirable properties of fermented liquid feed and factors affecting fermentation. In addition, advantages and disadvantages of fermented liquid feed will be discussed including its effects on gastrointestinal health, intestinal pH and the types of bacteria found in the gastrointestinal tract as well as the effects of fermented liquid feeds on pig performance.展开更多

The objective of this study was to investigate effects of liquid feeding high levels of corn condensed distiller's solubles(CCDS) and whole stillage(CWS) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, belly firmness and meat sensory traits of pigs.Methods: A total of 256 pigs were blocked by sex and initial BW(13.5 ± 2.5 kg), and pens of pigs(8 pigs/pen) were randomly allocated to 1 of 4 dietary treatments(8 pens/treatment): 1) corn-soybean meal based diet as control, 2) 25%CWS + 5% CCDS, 3) 19.5% CWS + 10.5% CCDS, and 4) 19.5, 26, and 32.5% CWS + 10.5, 14, and 17.5% CCDS in phases 1(28 d), 2(38 d), and 3(60 d), respectively. Inclusion levels of CCDS and CWS for Treatments 1, 2, and 3 were fixed during all the three phases of the experiment. Inclusion levels of CWS and CCDS were on 88% dry matter basis. The liquid feeding system delivered feed from the mixing tank to feed troughs by high-pressure air, had sensors inside feed troughs, and recorded daily feed intake on the basis of a reference feed intake curve. The pigs were fed 5 to 10 times per day with increasing frequency during the experiment.Results: Control pigs had greater(P 0.10) dressing percentage, loin muscle depth, and lean percentage were observed among the four treatments. Inclusion of CWS and CCDS reduced(P 0.10) the overall like,flavor, tenderness and juiciness of loin chops when compared with the control group.Conclusion: In conclusion, our results indicate that including 30–50% of a mixture of whole stillage and condensed distiller's solubles in the growing-finishing diets may reduce growth performance, carcass weight and belly firmness, but does not affect pork sensory traits.展开更多

The maximal Chao estimator and Shannon index were achieved in the FLF with a mixture of Cu^(2+)(200 mg/kg), Zn^(2+)(160 mg/kg),Fe^(2+)(150 mg/kg) and I^-(2.4 mg/kg). The minimal relative abundance of Aspergillus was achieved when a mixture of Cu^(2+)(200 mg/kg),Zn^(2+), Fe^(2+) and I^-was added to the FLF. Compared with Zn^(2+), Fe^(2+) and I^-,Cu^(2+) was the most important ion in inhibitingAspergillus growth. Adding Zn^(2+)(160 mg/kg), Cu^(2+), Fe^(2+) and I^- to the FLF minimized the relative abundance ofFusarium. It was Zn^(2+) instead of Cu^(2+) played a critical role in suppressing the growth of Fusarium. The proper use of the mixture of Cu^(2+), Zn^(2+), Fe^(2+) and I^-in FLF contributes to inhibit the growth of mycotoxin-producing fungi during storage. The new findings of this study help farmers properly use the mixture of Cu^(2+),Zn^(2+), Fe^(2+) and I^- to inhibit the growth of mycotoxinproducing fungi in the production of high quality FLF and alleviate mycotoxins damages to animals and humans.展开更多

The liquid feeds in a pigsty are distributed to the stables via pipelines. A centrifugal pump driven by an electric motor is used to supply the liquid feed and to move it through the pipeline. The electric motor is the major electric energy consumer in the process. As shown by experimental data and as following the theory, there is a non-linear relation between the electric motor power, the pump throughput and feed humidity. The purpose of the paper is to calculate such an optimal value of the electric motor power that provides the minimal energy consumption on the process of feed distribution. The problem is solved by the Lagrange multiplier method of nonlinear mathematical programming, taking into account geometrical parameters of the pipeline, humidity and portions volumes of distributed feed. The energy saving effect is estimated and reducing power consumption is shown.展开更多

RF of both liquid and solid meals produced anticipatory locomotor activity. However, the strength of the activity in rats subjected to RF of liquid meal was lower than that in rats subjected to RF of solid meal. These results suggest that the feeding-associated circadian oscillation that developed by feeding with liquid meal is less potent than that in the case of feeding with solid meal. Furthermore, mastication for digesting solid meal might be one of the factors that determine the strength of the feeding-associated circadian oscillation.展开更多
