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

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.
