Sources of fibre for gestating sows diets[Nutrition]Knud Erik Bach Knudsen Not all DF sources are equally suited to influence the provision of energy for the animals. |
Water quality in pigs[Nutrition]Valentino Bontempo Giovanni Savoini Water is the most essential nutrient to livestock nutrition and must be considered as much as possible. It should be drinkable, it should not contain harmful substances and should be readily available for the animals concerned. |
Arginine-family amino acids in swine nutrition[Nutrition]Guoyao Wu Arginine and glutamine (members of the arginine family of amino acids) are major building blocks for proteins and essential precursors for synthesis of many substances with enormous biological importance. |
Dietary protein in piglet diets[Nutrition]Ian Wellock Paul Toplis In order to apply the most suitable feeding regime to newly weaned pigs it is important to balance the trade off between the detrimental effect on performance of feeding levels of protein that are too low to allow maximal growth and those which increase the risk of post weaning diarrhoea. |
Tryptophan in swine nutrition[Nutrition]Carlos Dapoza Tryptophan has positive effects on voluntary feed intake. This greater feed intake leads to increased growth performance and improved feed conversion ratio in piglets, and to lower body weight losses in sows during lactation. |
Maternal Nutrition and Foetal Development[Nutrition]Neil Stickland Low maternal feed levels cause a reduction in muscle fibre numbers, whereas enhanced maternal nutrition resulted in a higher number of muscle fibres in specific muscles. |
Antimicrobial peptides as an alternative to antibiotics in pigs nutrition[Nutrition]Prashant L. Shinde Byung Jo Chae The AMPs (also called host defence peptides) are small gene encoded peptides of 1 to 5 kDa that have a broad range of activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, fungi and mycobacteria |
