Compound probiotics and berberine benefits pig immunity and modulates gut microbiota.

The n-3 fatty acids supplementation in gestation and lactation diets may affect colostrum and milk composition and the immune response.

The source and inclusion level of manganese supplemented in growing-finishing diets affects pig growth and efficiency.

Enterotype and diet amylose-to-amylopectin ratio may affect intestinal heath driven by enteric positive short chain fatty acid production.

Functional amino acids supplementation directly improves gut health and integrity in weanling pigs.

Spray-dried plasma supplementation effects on litter size can be observed in subsequent parturition.

Early withdrawal of corn distillers dried grains with solubles improves performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs.

Beneficial impacts of restricting amino acid during the growing and early finishing phases to improve efficiency until slaughter.

Creep feed supplementation has no clear effect on piglet behavior and performance.

Sow lysozyme supplementation from late gestation to early lactation promotes health and performance due to the maintenance of the vaginal microbial flora.

Mulberry leaves as a protein source may improve meat quality and performance in finishing pigs.

High amino acid restriction and high CaCl2, but not neutral detergent fiber inclusion are effective to control growth in finishing pigs.

Dietary nucleotides supplementation may smooth the challenges associated with weaning.

The mineral methionine hydroxyl analogue chelate supplementation in sow diets contributes to fetal programming and improves progeny performance.

Multienzyme complex may be taken into account as a successful strategy to compensate nutrient variability in swine diets.

Soft pellet creep feed for piglets improves pre-weaning feed intake and promote intestinal health after weaning.

Fermented fed may improve gut microbiota and immune status of lactating sows.

The supplementation of feed ingredients containing condensed tannins has no negative impact on growth performance or the carcass characteristics in growing-finishing pigs.

Reducing dietary Zn levels in growing-finishing pigs does not affect their growth performance and carcass characteristics.

Beneficial impact on weaned piglets’ intestinal microbiota after B. subtilis supplementation by the diversity, composition, and metabolites of intestinal microbiota.

Natural betaine fed to sows during lactation and postweaning show benefits on performance only during summer months.

Enriched macroalga Enteromorpha sp. can be used as suitable organic alternative to inorganic salt supplements in growing pigs.

Nursery slow growth driven by protein restriction may be compensated and overcome at the growing-finishing period.
