ArticleManaging post-weaning challenge: A comprehensive toolbox for piglet success
The key takeaways highlight that environmental microbiomes matter—installing a positive biofilm on surfaces in farm buildings helps maintain a favorable microbial environment in the nursery—while animal gut resilience is equally essential and requires supporting microbial balance, immunity, and the management of oxidative stress to optimize their post-weaning performance.
Who dares to make predictions for 2026?
Sara Mazo and Francisco Ruíz review what could affect the commodities market in 2026... at least based on the information currently available.

Technical sheets of the main raw materials and additives used in swine feed. They include a comparison of nutritional values from various sources, product
Data sheets: Tryptophan
Tryptophan (Trp) is an essential amino acid that pigs must obtain from their diet. It is involved in protein synthesis and serotonin production, which regulates appetite. It also contributes to the formation of niacin (vitamin B3) and has antioxidant effects, promoting intestinal health and microbiota. In addition, it helps maintain mucosal integrity and regulates the immune system.

Optimizing feed presentation during nursery phases (II)
In terms of feed presentation, we look for ingredients that provide not only nutrients but also functionality, with the aim of increasing gastric retention time to facilitate protein hydrolysis, greater contact between food and enzymes, and reducing fermentation of undigested protein in the intestine.
Are we optimizing the use of fats in pig nutrition? What factors should we consider?
Fats and oils are among the most energy-dense and expensive components in pig diets, yet their digestion and utilization remain complex and often under-optimized.

ArticleSow mortality on Spanish farms: Key factors and strategies for improvement
Increased productivity has not come without consequences. Sows face greater physiological demands, which translates into a higher metabolic load, increased nutritional requirements, and, in many cases, increased mortality on farms. This phenomenon is of particular concern in Spain.
Boosting immunity against viral challenges
Boosting key performance indicators in swine production requires addressing viral pathogens, which remain a major challenge for swine health, performance, and farm profitability. Emerging strains, such as H1N2#E and devastating diseases like ASF, highlight the urgency for innovative control strategies. C12 monoglycerides represent a promising approach to enhance pigs’ immune defenses and mitigate viral impact.
The 333 Experience Congress LATAM 2025 kicks off
