Chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed as an n-3 fatty acid source for finishing pigs: Effects on fatty acid composition and fat stability of the meat and internal fat, growth performance, and meat sensory characteristics[Nutrimail]The use of chia seed in the finishing swine diets may change the fatty acid profil of pork. |
Effects of dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on the performance of weaning pigs[swine abstracts]Two experiments were conducted to evaluate dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and fecal microbial populations. |
Comparison between computerised liquid feeding and ad libitum dry feeding for sows during lactation[Nutrimail]Liquid feeding during lactation may increase feed intake without affecting piglet performance |
Growth performance and nutrient digestibility in pigs fed wheat distillers dried grains with solubles-based diets supplemented with a multicarbohydrase enzyme[Nutrimail]The use of a carbohydrase enzyme blends on wheat DDGS based diets may improve nutrient digestibility in pigs |
The effect of the method of dietary oil addition to pelleted diets on performance and nutrient digestibility in finishing pigs[Nutrimail]The method used for fat addition to the finishing diets does not affect pig performance, digestibility or carcass quality. |
L-arginine supplementation of milk liquid or dry diets fed to pigs after weaning has a positive effect on production in the first three weeks after weaning at 21 days of age[Nutrimail]Liquid feeding piglets after waning with L-arginine supplemented milk have a positive impact on piglet performance. |
Impact of piglet birth weight, birth order and litter size on subsequent growth performance, carcass quality, muscle composition and eating quality of pork[swine abstracts]The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between birth weight, birth order or litter size on growth performance, carcass quality and eating quality of the ultimate pork product. Data were collected from 98 pig litters and, with the addition of recording birth weight and birth order, farrowing and piglet management were according to normal barn practices. |
