Saccharin in baby pig nutrition

“…These results are in harmony with those of Hudman (1956) who showed that lactose was the carbohydrate of choice for the baby pig when a coin-soy diet was used. No attempt was made in this experiment to maintain an iso-caloric diet because the productive energy value of 6l6 calories per pound for whey did not seem realistic when compared to 1334-calories per pound for sucrose.…”

“…This supports the woik of Hudman (1956) who demon strated that lactose was the carbohydrate of choice when soy bean oilmeal was the protein source.…”

“…At the 15 percent level unrefined cane sugar produced gains and feed efficiency equal to refined sugar. Hudman (1956) showed there was no improvement in one to three or one to five week gains or feed efficiency, by in creasing the level of sugar from 15 to 25 to 30 percent of the diet. This indicated that 15 percent sugar was sufficient for maximum palatability.…”

“…One error which could not be minimized was the use of the low productive energy value for whey (616 calories per pound) in comparison to a much higher value (1334 calories per pound) for sucrose when sucrose was substituted for whey in certain experiments. But based on Hudman's (1956) findings, it was assumed that in the baby pig the productive energy values for sucrose and whey would be the same.…”

Ratios of Dried Skimmilk and Dried Whey for Pig Starter Rations

“…ACTOSE and sucrose were reported by Hudman (1956) to be preferred carbohydrates for pig starter rations. Lactose gave the best growth response when fed with soybean oil meal; sucrose with milk protein.…”
