Lysine requirements based on whole body growth may have a negative impact on carcass and primal mass yield.

The use of Lactobacillus plantarum as a probiotic, may improve growth performance and immunity in piglets.

Slowly digestible lactose may reduce β-glucan digestibility in piglet diets.

A nutritional gel supplementation reduces the negative impact of vaccination on piglet behaviour.

Low effect of potassium bicarbonate on pig acidosis produced by pre-slaughter handling.

Lactose content in piglet diets may be a key factor for a successful weaning performance.

Tannic acid in weanling diets may have a negative impact on piglet performance.

Formulating a sow diet based on percent lysine is only effective when total feed intake is known.

The excess of ZnO in weanling diets may have a negative impact on growth performance.

Phaseolus vulgaris L. may be a good source of Fe and Zn for pigs.

Porcine mucosal immune response against E coli may be modulated by dietary probiotic supplementation.

The use of pharmacological Zn doses in weanling diets for piglets may reduce intestinal permeability against potential pathogens.

Growth restricted piglets may benefit from additional long-chain PUFA supplementation.

High level of rapidly digestible starch allows higher systemic circulating concentrations of most AA in pigs.

Phenyllactic acid may play as a natural alternative to antibiotics in pig diets.

Fish oil may be a useful ingredient to enrich pork with n-3 fatty acids, independently of the supplementation period.

The presence of secondary metabolites in the diet like fumonisin may compromise intestinal physiology and enzyme activity in weanling piglets.

Dietary L-Arginine supplementation may negatively affect gilt reproductive performance.

Immune response or triglyceride and cholesterol levels in plasma are influenced by the fat source fed rather than the level of vitamin E in weanling pig.

The use of chia seed in the finishing swine diets may change the fatty acid profil of pork.

Dietary glycyl-glutamine supplementation may alleviate the negative effects on growth and on the inmune system of a challege in early weaned piglets.

Amino acid digestibility and concentration of digestible and metabolizable energy in soybean meal produced from conventional, high-protein, or low-oligosaccharide varieties of soybeans and fed to growing pigs

Although having a suitable mineral and AA content for swine nutrition, the use of aquatic plants in pig diets is limited by their low energy and crude protein digestibility.

Liquid feeding during lactation may increase feed intake without affecting piglet performance
