Manitoba Rural Adaptation Council

Project Description

This project will look at the impact of the inclusion of certain ingredients (zero-tannin faba bean and dried distillers grain with soluble) in swine diets on the whole animal (digestibility, growth performance, and carcass characteristics) and the whole farm (manure volume and nutrient levels and estimation of whole farm economics).

Project Objectives

To assess the impact of feed ingredients (zero-tannin faba bean and dried distillers grain with solubles) on hog manure P and N contents with the ultimate goal of reducing P in manure while maintaining N levels in order to continue to have manure that is valuable to crop farmers in alignment with 2013 manure application regulations.
