Sulfur concentration in diets containing DDGS: effects on feed preference and performance of pigs
Inclusion of DDGS in diets decreases the feed preference and negatively affects the growth performance of pigs.
Abstracts - Nutrition
Response of young pigs to feeding potato protein and potato fibre
While potato protein concentrate is well utilized by piglets, potato fibre does not reveal evident health promoting effects.
Texture, color and fatty acid composition of pig shoulder fat due to different dietary fat sources
Fat firmness, but not color, is influenced by sex and dietary fat source.
Effects of protein intakes of pregnant gilts on carcass quality and skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in fattening pigs
Maternal low protein diet impairs prenatal myofiber formation, reducing the potential of postnatal lean growth.
Dietary clays alleviate diarrhea of weaned pigs
Clay products may help to prevent the negative impact of diarrhea in weanling piglets.
Apparent and standardized ileal digestibilities of AA for pigs fed diets at varying crude protein levels
The dietary protein content also affects the standardized ileal digestibility of most amino acids.

Sensory quality of short- and long-term frozen stored pork products
No negative effect on sensory quality is found in short-term frozen stored products when their PUFA content increases.
The effect of graded levels of dietary threonine on nitrogen retention and structure of the small intestine in young pigs
7.4 g threonine per kg covers the requirement of piglets for rapid growth and maximal N retention as well as for supporting gut barrier function.
The influence of dietary fatty acids on their metabolism in liver and subcutaneous fat in growing pigs
While elongation of fatty acids takes place in the liver, transformations of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids occur in the subcutaneous fat.
Amino acid digestibility in heated soybean meal fed to growing pigs
Autoclaving but not oven drying reduces the concentration and digestibility of AA in soybean meal.
Modification of selected bacteria and markers of protein fermentation in pigs upon consumption of chitosan is accompanied by heightened manure odor emissions
Lactic-acid bacteria can modulate manure odor emissions, regardless of fermentable protein availability.
Keratinase affects performance and intestinal morphology and ecology of piglets fed diets with different levels of crude protein
Keratinase supplementation has a positive effect on the performance of weanling piglets fed corn-soybean diets.
The impact of short-term feeding of Mg supplements on the quality of pork packaged in modified atmosphere
Short-term magnesium chelate supplementation improves water holding capacity and sensory visual assessment on pork packaged in modified atmosphere.
Growth performance, nitrogen, and phosphorus excretion of pigs fed with incremental levels of DDGS
Maize DDGS may present a viable option to substitute a premium feed ingredient in growing–finishing pig diets.
Fatty acid profiles and iodine value correlations between 4 carcass fat depots from pigs fed varied combinations of ractopamine and energy
The iodine value of one fat depot may not be a good indication of iodine value of other fat depots.
Varying creep feed duration affects pre-weaning and post-weaning performance and behavior of piglet and sow
Creep feed initiated from day 5 and 10 reduce diarrhea scores in piglets and the estrus interval in sows.
Viscosity and fermentability of dietary fibre affect nutrient digestibility and digesta characteristics in grower pigs
High-viscous, low-fermentable dietary fibre increases the proportion of a diet that is digested in the small intestine.
Influence of particle size and multi-enzyme supplementation of fibrous diets on weaning and growing pigs
A reduction in particle size and multi-enzyme supplementation are useful strategies in the post-weaning period, but not in the growing period.

Dietary lysine restriction during the finishing period on barrows and gilts intended for dry-cured ham production
Different feeding programs might be needed for barrows and gilts to optimize the production of high quality dry-cured hams.
Increased dietary zinc oxide changes the bacterial core and enterobacterial composition in the ileum of piglets
Increased dietary ZnO could lead to an increased competition among enterobacteria and, consequently, reduce the occurrence of pathogenic E. coli strains.
A high dietary concentration of inulin is necessary to reduce the incidence of swine dysentery
80 g/kg dietary inulin may protect pigs against developing swine disentery by modifying the microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract.
Dietary protein/carbohydrate ratio affects on fat deposition and gene expression of finishing pigs
An increase in intramuscular fat in pigs fed low protein diets is related to tissue-specific activation of gene expression.
Dietary lysine and energy levels affect on growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients in weanling pigs
Increasing dietary lysine and energy levels improves growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients.
Modeling the fate of dietary phosphorus in the digestive tract of growing pigs
A mathematical model serves as a tool to study phosphorus digestibility for different feedstuffs and feeding strategies.
