Probiotics and antibiotics as additives for sows and piglets during nursery phase
Sows and piglets diets supplemented with probiotics are effective in maintaining animal performance and control of diarrhea during the nursery phase.
Abstracts - Nutrition
Enteral arginine does not increase superior mesenteric arterial blood flow but induces mucosal growth in neonatal pigs
Partial enteral feeding increases superior mesenteric artery blood flow in the neonatal pig compared with total parenteral nutrition.
Increasing omega-3 levels through dietary co-extruded flaxseed supplementation negatively affects pork palatability
Feeding co-extruded flaxseed to increase omega-3 fatty acid content in trimmed loin muscle did not result in levels sufficient to meet label requirements and had limited effects on palatability.
Effect of dietary CLA administration on fatty acid composition and lipogenic and lipolytic enzyme activities in suckling and weaned piglets
The concentration of fatty acids in subcutaneous fat and liver tissues of piglets 35 d after weaning is largely dependent on the CLA content of piglet diet rather than CLA enrichment of sow diet.
The metabolic availability of threonine in common feedstuffs fed to adult sows is higher than published ileal digestibility estimates
Using ileal digestibility values determined in growing pigs to formulate sow diets may lead to overfeeding of sows with protein and can negatively affect overall production efficiency through increased cost and excess nitrogen excretion.
Effect of restricted feeding and realimentation periods on pork quality and fatty acid profile of M. longissimus thoracis
Modifying feed intake during growth may change pork nutritional value and tenderness.

Analysis of water, feed intake and performance of lactating sows
An enhanced feed and water intake during lactation may increase weaning weight of piglets and decreases relative body weight loss of sows.
Effects of liquid metabolite combinations produced by Lactobacillus plantarum on growth performance, faeces characteristics, intestinal morphology and diarrhea incidence in postweaning piglets
Metabolite combinations produced by L. plantarum strains are potential alternatives to antibiotics that could be used as growth promoter in postweaning piglets.
Effects of different probiotic complexes of lactic acid bacteria on growth performance and gut environment of weaned piglets
Different probiotic complexes of lactic acid bacteria improved growth performance and feed conversion in the first two weeks post-weaning, but the gut environment was improved in all period.
Relationship between proteome changes of Longissimus muscle and intramuscular fat content in finishing pigs fed conjugated linoleic acid
Dietary conjugated linoleic acid increases intramuscular fat content in finishing pigs.
Limited and excess dietary protein during gestation affects growth and compositional traits in gilts and impairs offspring fetal growth
Gestation diets containing protein at 50 and 250% of recommendations led to marked changes in protein and fat metabolism in gilts resulting in fetal growth retardation of 15%.
Effects of restricting energy during the gilt developmental period on growth and reproduction of lines differing in lean growth rate: Responses in feed intake, growth, and age at puberty
Restricting energy during the gilt development slightly delays the mean age at puberty.

8% crude glycerol can be added to the diet and used as an effective alternative energy source to partially replace corn.
The effect of cereal-derived beta-glucans and exogenous enzyme supplementation on intestinal microflora, nutrient digestibility, mineral metabolism and volatile fatty acid concentrations in finisher pigs
Barley-based diets have more beneficial effects on gut health, oat-based diets have higher potential to enhance beneficial microbial populations and endogenous β-glucans show better prebiotic properties.
The threonine requirement of sows increases in late gestation
Feeding a single amount of amino acids (AA) throughout gestation results in overfeeding AA in early gestation and underfeeding AA in late gestation.
Enhanced water-holding capacity of meat was associated with increased Sepw1 gene expression in pigs fed selenium-enriched yeast
The expression of Sepw1 gene is associated with the enhanced water-holding capacity of meat.
Switching diet formulations: effects on finishing pig performance
Diet and ingredient switching does not affect pig performance during the finishing period.
Vomitoxin concentration in nursery pig diets and the effectiveness of commercial products to mitigate its effects
The use of mycotoxins absorbents in sever vomitoxin contaminated diets may reduce the negative impact of vomitoxin on piglet performance.
Data sheets: raw materials and additives
Technical sheets of the main raw materials and additives used in swine feed. They include a comparison of nutritional values from various sources, product
Effect of dietary protein level on growth performance, indicators of enteric health, and gastrointestinal microbial ecology of weaned pigs induced with postweaning colibacillosis
Feeding low CP, AA supplemented diets can help to improve poor growth performance and enteric disorders of the weaned pigs.
Effect of dietary supplementation of n-3 fatty acids and elevated concentrations of dietary protein on the performance of sows
Dietary supplementation of n-3 fatty acids during lactation improved the growth of nursing piglets.
Dose-response effect of fish oil substitution in parturition feed on erythrocyte membrane characteristics and sow performance
Osmotic resistance of erythrocytes was not altered by increasing amounts of n-3 PUFA, whereas oxidative stability of erythrocytes, as well as oxidative parameters in plasma, were affected.
Evaluation of feed budgeting, complete diet blending, and corn-supplement blending on finishing-pig performance
The automatic feed blending system may help to meet nutrient requirements reducing feeding cost during the fattening period.
Bioavailability of dietary cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) in growing pigs
High amount of dietary vitamin B12 decreases its bioavailability, but could build up whole body reserves.
Effects of feeding diets containing increasing content of corn distillers dried grains with soluble to grower-finisher pigs on growth performance, carcass composition, and pork fat quality
Feeding grower-finishing pigs diets containing up to 30% DDGS had no adverse effects on growth performance, although up to 20% fat quality may be adversely affected.
