Vitamin E acetate supplementation in high-oleic sunflower oil may improve meat lipid stability

Dietary excess of lysine reduces the concentration of g-butyrobetaine in muscle affecting the synthesis of carnitine

Selenoprotein gene expression may not be a useful tool to assess body selenium status in pigs

Dietary carnitine and chromium supplementation may increase farrowing rate and thus total number born alive

Plant extracts may affect piglet intestinal health in a different way depending on the dietary CP content

Dietary oil supplementation may increase AA digestibility of most defatted soybean protein products contained in growing diets for pigs

The use of Arginine supplementation in piglet diets may reduce gut mucosal inflammatory process at weaning

Meat colour and colour stability in pork may be affected by dietary composition

The in vitro method may be a useful tool to predict the potential NH3 emissions of the different feed ingredients

Sunflower oil improves apparent digestibility of SFA, MUFA and PUFA but reduces the retention of MUFA and PUFA

Dietary supplementation of delta-aminolevulinic acid may increase the iron transfer efficiency from sows to piglets

Dietary phytic acid content may affect mineral digestibility and availability in piglets

Particle size after grinding may be a critic factor for lupin AA digestibility in growing pigs

D-biotin supplementation of piglet diets may improve growth performance in early weaned piglets

The contribution of de novo synthesis to microbial AA in pigs does not represent a substantial AA supply for the host

Distillers dried grains from sorghum or sorghum-corn blend showed the same SID for CP and Lys but lower for the rest of AA than those obtained from corn

Boar taint in male and female pigs may be reduced by the inclusion of specific ingredients in the finishing diets

The substitution of wheat by crude glycerol (8%) in piglet diets may improves growth performance

More than 2% of red blood cells inclusion in finishing diets may reduce growth performance in pigs

Dietary crude protein in finishing diets may be reduced until 12% without affecting pig performance and carcass yield

A low dietary supply of PUFA and MUFA is enough to increase the degree of unsaturation of adipose tissue and intramuscular fat lipids in immunocastrated pigs

Dietary isomaltooligosaccharides supplementation did not affect any of the measured parameters

The use of higher insoluble-soluble dietary fibre concentration in piglet diets may improve intestinal health at weaning

Dietary soybean oil suplementation of growing-finishing diets does not affect lipid oxidation in pork products
