Draft Genome Sequences for 6 Isolates of Endospore-Forming Class Species Isolated from Soil from a Suburban, Wooded, Developed Space.

Here, we report draft genome sequences of Bacillus pseudomycoides SC107, sp. SC111, Peribacillus frigoritolerans SC112, Priestia megaterium SC114, sp. SC116, and Lysinibacillus fusiformis SC117, isolated from a campus wooded area in Loudonville, NY.

Determination of the optimum digestible isoleucine to lysine ratios for male Yield Plus × Ross 708 broilers between 1.0 and 4.0 kg body weight utilizing growth performance and carcass characteristics.

Three experiments (Exp) were conducted to determine optimal digestible Ile to Lys ratios for male Yield Plus × Ross 708 broilers from approximately 1.0 to 4.0 kg BW.

Efficiency of standardized ileal digestible lysine utilization for whole body protein deposition in pregnant gilts and sows during early-, mid-, and late-gestation.

The efficiency of SID Lys utilization (kSID Lys) in gilts and sows during early (days 48 to 52), mid (days 75 to 79), and late gestation (days 103 to 107) was investigated using 88 pregnant females (PIC 1050; 27 gilts, 27 parity 1 sows, 34 parity 2+ sows; 192.96 ± 22.84 kg at days 42 ±1 of gestation) and whole body nitrogen (N) retention balance studies.

Lysine (protein) requirements of lactating sows.

Five experiments were conducted to evaluate the lysine (Lys) requirements of lactating sows. All diets were formulated to be isocaloric 3.46 Mcal ME/kg and met or exceeded National Research Council recommendations.

The impact of dietary supplementation of arginine during gestation in a commercial swine herd: II. Offspring performance.

Arginine (Arg) is an important amino acid of pig fetal development; however, whether Arg improves postnatal performance is ill-defined. Therefore, the influence of Arg supplementation at different gestational stages on offspring performance was evaluated in a commercial swine herd. Sows (n = 548) were allocated into 4, diet by stage of gestation treatments: Control (n = 143; 0% suppl.
