We (Patience et al. 2006) and others have shown improvements in lean growth and feed
\nefficiency when ractopamine (Paylean\u00ae) was fed to finishing pigs. The objective of the following
\nexperiment was to determine if the improvements in nutrient utilization with Paylean can lead to a
\ndemonstrable reduction in the environmental footprint of pork production.
\nA metabolism experiment was conducted to measure the effect of 0. 5 or 10 mg\/kg
\nractopamine (RAC) from Paylean on N and water balance in finishing swine. Paylean improved ADG,
\nN retention in the carcass and feed efficiency and decreased water intake and urine output. Because of
\nthe improvement in N and water utilization in finishing pigs, we concluded that Paylean can reduce the
\nenvironmental impact of pork production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
