The importance of dietary protein and Amino Acids after weaning
There is a widespread trend throughout Europe to decrease the protein levels in feeds, together with an adequate supplementation of industrial amino acids.
Effect of fermentable and inert fibre in weaning piglets
Predicting the functional effect of fibre ingredients when fed to early weaning piglets is advisable in order to control the gut health.
Nutritional management in the nursery
Understand the role nutrition can play in gut health and animal performance is essential to enjoying good performance as we move away from antibiotic growth promoters and heavy metals.
Implementation of a peripartum feed
The handling disadvantages derived from the addition of an extra feed are outweighed by the improvement in production and decrease in the number of farrowing problems.
Is body condition the right tool to adjust feeding in pregnant sows?
Energy intake based on body condition differs greatly from the energy adult sows require. Moreover, the NRC clearly overestimates the sows' maintenance requirements.
Alternative sources of soy protein in pigs' feed
The addition of alternative ingredients to the ration will depend mainly on how their variation in nutritional composition compares to soybeans and on their price, which will determine their inclusion rate and their actual inclusion.
Nutrigenomics in swine nutrition
Neonatal mineral and vitamin supplementation have a huge impact on bone development and body composition via the regulation of mesenchymal stem cells and satellite cell programing.
Pre-lactation nutrition strategies for optimal sow and piglet performance
The evolution of genetics in modern sows requires nutritionists to evolve their diets and feeding programs accordingly. Nutritionist need to consider not only the role of nutrition on metabolism but also on hormone regulation and subsequent reproduction.
