Overview of Nutrient Recommendations in the NSNG
16
Basis for recommendations • Nutrient recommendations in the NSNG are based on both the 1998 NRC and research published since 1998. • Values published by the NRC do not include any safety margins. • A margin of safety was applied to each nutrient in order to establish a recommendation for that nutrient in the NSNG 17
Basis for recommendations • Margins of safety necessary to account for factors that affect nutrient needs and variability in nutrient composition and in nutrient bioavailability of feed ingredients • Nutrient cost and environmental issues surrounding nutrient excretion were considered when determining safety margins
18
Basis for recommendations • Nutrient recommendations in the NSNG were established according to predetermined pig performance standards; for example, daily weight gain, feed intake, carcass lean gain, litter size and litter weaning weight • No particular genetics or line considered • Those performance standards accompany the nutrient recommendations in the NSNG to provide transparency and to allow individuals to tailor recommendations to specific situations 19
Trace mineral and vitamin recommendations • To reduce the risk of deficiencies and to ensure optimum and reliable pig performance, we recommend certain trace minerals and vitamins be routinely added to the diet • Trace mineral and vitamin recommendations in the NSNG represent additions to the diet

Energy Systems • NSNG Formulation Program • Can use either ME or NE concentrations of feedstuffs • Formulate based on ME, with NE shadowing • However, formulation on NE is available

Amino Acids
25
Expressing Amino Acid Recommendations • Apparent – The net disappearance of ingested dietary amino acids from the digestive tract proximal to the distal ileum
• Standardized – Derived by correcting AID values for a constant defined basal endogenous losses of amino acids
• True – The portion of the dietary amino acids that disappears from the proximal to distal ileum corrected for endogenous losses 26
Ideal amino acid ratios – nursery
Ideal amino acid ratios – grower/finisher
Ideal amino acid ratios – lactation
Ideal amino acid ratios – gestation & breeding boars
Phosphorus
Relative Bio-available vs. Digestible P • Relative Bioavailable P – Determined based on a standard (Mono-sodium P) – Growth or bone breaking strength and break point – Digestibility of standard not considered
• Digestible P – Total track or ileal digestibility of the feed stuffs – Better to predict excretion and environmental impact of diet – Modeled relative to lean gain in grow-finish
Phytase Use • Phytase use is a standard in the industry • Software contains release curves of the 4 current commercially available products Estimated P release values for Natuphos, Optiphos, Phyzyme, and Ronozyme phytase sources, amount of enzyme per kg of diet Natuphos, FTU 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900
