| Abstract: | Simple aerobic treatment of swine waste did not increase the production of microorganismprotein (pure protein). Addition of available energy resulted in a small increase of pure protein: During continuous aerobic treatment 20 g pure protein were produced by 100 g starch, during discontinuous aerobic treatment 10 g pure protein by 100 g organic matter from molasses (mean values). Comparative feeding trials with 90% resp. 80% feed restricted finishing swine without and with added swine waste (continuous treated without supplements resp. discontinuous treated with addition of yeasts and molasses) had as results no improvement in body-weight-gain but a 12% resp. 17% deterioration in feed conversion with 13% less bodyfat formation. Weight gains of both groups with restricted feed (without and with added swine waste) was 22% less in comparison to full fed swine. Losses at slaughter of swine in the group with feed restriction and added swine waste were partly due to higher intestine contents higher than that of swine with feed restriction and without added swine waste. Higher weights of livers and kidneys in swine of the "waste group" counts for a possibly higher metabolism-stress. |
