ArticleInsect larvae as a protein source for pig feed – What’s the future?
The pros, cons, and current limitations of using black soldier fly larvae as an alternative protein source.
Increased feed conversion ratio, stable mortality. What about growth?
To determine the causes of the increase in the feed conversion ratio of pigs, we must start by asking whether mortality has also increased.
The feed conversion ratio and mortality are elevated. What about growth?
To determine the causes of the increase in our feed conversion ratio, we must begin by asking ourselves whether mortality has also increased.
A high feed conversion ratio and what about mortality?
If my farm's feed conversion ratio is up, the first thing I have to look at is how mortality is doing.
Only the best is good enough for the smallest of the newly weaned piglets
An optimized weaning diet may be one of the most important tools in obtaining a successful weaning. The diet tested in this trial could keep post-weaning diarrhea at very low level.
Successful zinc replacement is not just about the feed
Replacing ZnO requires a complex solution that combines management and feeding strategies to solve weaning diarrhoea.

Feed biosecurity in the manufacturing and post-manufacturing stages. Understanding and managing disease transmission risk during the milling and delivery of pig feed
The mixing of ingredients into feed and the distribution of feed to the farm location where consumption occurs is referred to as the ‘manufacturing and post-manufacturing stage’ of the feed supply chain. This article outlines how biosecurity concepts can be applied to the manufacturing and distribution of pig feed to ensure a pathogen free product is consumed.
