The National Swine Nutrition Guide
The National Swine Nutrition Guide
Situation • Many universities created their own state or regional nutrition guides – not uniform
• Many were in need of revisions • Change in genetics & nutritional programs • Swine NRC was from 1998
Challenges in Revising Guides • Extension budgets were cut at most institutions
• Fewer faculty doing production-based nutrition • Fewer Extension Specialists covering more areas
Partnership Created US Pork Center of Excellence and leading Land Grant institutions worked together to: • create a comprehensive education and extension effort • to provide sound, science-based feed and nutrition information universally to U.S. pork producers • update nutrient recommendations to improve nutrient utilization and production efficiency

• A grant was written by the committee and funded by the United Soybean Board for the development of a NSNG • Steering committee convened in 2008 and began the development of the National Swine Nutrition Guide (NSNG) • Put together a list of needed factsheets and author or co-authors assigned to each factsheet
• Committee first came to consensus on nutritional philosophies so all factsheets would be uniform • Purpose was to enhance the understanding of practical swine nutrition, feeding principles and related management guidelines • Authors developed individual factsheets that were given to two internal reviewers & then revised
• Factsheets were then sent to two external reviewers for review • Final changes made and then published
Availability - electronically on the Pork Information Gateway (www.porkgateway.org) - in print from the USPCE, State Extension Services, & the Pork Industry Handbook.
COST • $80 for the book, tables, and Formulator DVD if go to one of the six regional training sessions • $125 for the package if you order directly from the US Pork Center of Excellence
