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
People/Institutions Involved
• Dr. Scott Carter - Oklahoma State University
• Dr. Joel DeRouchey - Kansas State University
• Dr. David Meisinger - U.S. Pork Center of Excellence
• Dr. John Patience - Iowa State University
• Dr. Duane Reese (chair) - University of Nebraska
• Dr. Brian Richert - Purdue University
• Dr. Marcia Shannon - University of Missouri
• Dr. Hans Stein, University of Illinois
• Dr. Bob Thaler - South Dakota State University
• Dr. Eric van Heugten - North Carolina State University
• Dr. Mark Whitney - University of Minnesota
• Ms. Charlotte Kirk Baer (ex-officio) - USDA/CSREES
• 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
