Analysis of Minor elements and Metals in Hog Manure by Field-portable Near-infrared Spectroscopy: Results for FOSS NIRSystems Inc.
Posted in: Environment by admin on | No Comments
The overall purpose of this project was to develop a field protocol for testing two field-portable
near-infrared (NIR) spectrophotometers as on-site, free-standing (not in-line), measurement
tools for nutrients in hog manure at the time of application of manure to agricultural land. This
project is a developmental step between the analysis of hog manure in the laboratory using
near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and the deployment of NIR instruments in the manure
stream for real-time measurement of composition of manure during application to land. The
field-portable instruments included the Textron Systems Corp (USA)/Case NH (USA)

Baseline Environmental Data Collection for Research and Production Facility
Posted in: Prairie Swine Centre by admin on | No Comments
Potential environmental impacts associated with intensive livestock operations are recognized as a major limiting factor limiting the establishment of these operations to the prairies. To determine the true environmental impacts of an intensive livestock operation, one must compare the change in environmental conditions before and after the facility is constructed and in operation.

Replacement of soybean meal with canola meal in weaned pig diets
Posted in: Prairie Swine Centre by admin on | No Comments
Fibre content is three times higher in canola meal than soybean meal, and may limit nutrient availability. The present study determined whether canola meal could replace soybean meal in weaned pig diets with a balanced digestible nutrient content. Increasing content of canola meal increased fibre content in diets, and decreased voluntary feed intake, ADG and feed efficiency. Performance correlated negatively with fibre content in diets, and was reduced when canola meal replaced 75% or more soybean meal.
