TI  - Effect of carbohydrate source on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat 
      quality of growing-finishing pigs.
PG  - 2488-95
AB  - Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of substituting a more 
      available dietary carbohydrate (CHO) for portions of corn or fat in the diet on 
      growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and serum or plasma metabolites 
      in growing-finishing pigs. A three-phase feeding program was used with 
      corn-soybean meal diets formulated to provide 105% of the Lys requirement for 
      barrows or gilts gaining 325 g of lean daily in Exp. 1 or gilts gaining 350 g of 
      lean daily in Exp. 2. Diets were isoenergetic within experiments. All other 
      nutrients met or exceeded suggested requirements. In Exp. 1, pigs were allotted 
      to three dietary treatments (0, 7.5, or 15.0% sucrose), with three replications 
      of barrows and three replications of gilts, and with three or four pigs per 
      replicate pen; average initial and final BW were 25.2 and 106.7 kg. In Exp. 2, 
      gilts were allotted to two dietary treatments (waxy [high amylopectin] or nonwaxy 
      [75% amylopectin and 25% amylose] corn as the grain source), with five 
      replications of four gilts per replicate pen; average initial and final BW were 
      37.7 and 100.0 kg. In Exp. 1, ADG and gain:feed ratio increased linearly (P < 
      0.02) as dietary sucrose increased. Minolta color scores, a* and b*, and drip 
      loss (P < 0.06) also increased linearly with added sucrose. In Exp. 2, ADG, 
      carcass weight and length, and the Minolta a* value were greater for pigs fed 
      waxy corn (P < 0.08) than for those fed nonwaxy corn. Feed intake, longissimus 
      muscle area, 10th-rib and average backfat thickness, dressing percentage, 
      fat-free lean, percentage of lean and muscling, lean gain per day, total fat, 
      percentage fat, lean:fat ratio, serum or plasma metabolites (Exp. 1: serum urea 
      N; Exp. 2: serum urea N, and plasma nonesterified fatty acids, triacylglycerols, 
      total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, insulin, and total protein), pH 
      of the longissimus muscle, and subjective muscle scores (color, firmness-wetness, 
      and marbling) were not affected by diet in either experiment. In summary, 
      increasing availability of dietary CHO in growing-finishing pig diets improved 
      growth performance, but it did not affect carcass traits.
