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

Dietary phytase addition to liquid feeding weanling piglets may improve nutrient digestibility, bone strength and mineralization

The excess of Leucine in piglet diets may affect the catabolism branched-chain amino acids limiting their availability

The use of a carbohydrase enzyme blends on wheat DDGS based diets may improve nutrient digestibility in pigs

Mammary gene expression of AA transporter is not affected by dietary protein intake.

Dietary benzoic acid supplementation does not affect dietary acid-base load as it is completely cleared from body fluids.

High-fat oats may be a suitable feed ingredient for weanling diets.

Body amino acid composition is affected by dietary amino acid supplementation.

Extruded linseed meal is a good feed ingredient to improve nutritional quality of cured pork products but sensory characteristics can be affected.

The new variety of Lathyrus selected to contain low diaminopropionic acid may be taken into account as an alternative protein source for pigs.

The method used for fat addition to the finishing diets does not affect pig performance, digestibility or carcass quality.

Liquid feeding piglets after waning with L-arginine supplemented milk have a positive impact on piglet performance.

Pork quality is not affected by dietary AA restriction during the growing and fattening period

No synergic effects are obtained of the use of betaine, organic acids and inulin in weanling diets for piglets

Skeletal muscle protein synthesis is rapidly stimulated after a meal in young pigs

The use of microbial phytase may improve true P digestibility in diets containing oilseed meals

Dietary herb supplementation may reduce periparturition stress in sows

Feed ingredient irradiation may be a good technique to reduce microbial concentrations in the diet

The ratio of relative bioavailability between natural vitamin E acetate and syntetic vitamin E acetate is higher than the commonly accepted value of 1.36

Fat distribution is affected by feeding level, but the source of energy used did not change the relative partitioning of fat deposition

n-3 fatty acid content in carcass may be improved by using flaxseed meal in the diet.

The use of a multienzime on wheat DDGS based diets improves nutrient digetibility and growth performance.
