Precision feeding can reduce amino acid requirements of growing pigs by more than 25%
Feeding growing-finishing pigs with daily tailored diets using precision feeding techniques is an effective approach to reduce nutrient excretion, without compromising pig performance or carcass composition
Dietary crude protein reduction and AA supplementation affects tissue fatty acid composition in pigs
Fatty acid composition of pork lean and fat may be altered by reducing dietary CP and supplementing AA.
Effect of susceptibility to ETEC and of dietary Trp on gut microbiota diversity observed in healthy young pigs
An Italian study investigated the intestinal bacterial diversity of healthy pigs with different susceptibility to ETEC and fed different Trp levels.
Camelina cake: a suitable energy source for swine
Camelina cake may be an alternative energy source for swine diets but with low digestibility of AA and CP.
Hydrolyzed feather meal with blood as amino acid source for growing pigs
Hydrolyzed feather meal is a good AA source for growing pigs but, has to supplemented with Lys and Trp to alleviate their deficiency.
Protease and xylanase on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and manure odour
Xylanase reduce gaseous emissions and can moderate the odorous impact of pig manure.
Nutrition to attenuate performance loss caused by activation of immune system in the commercial production system
Pigs in a commercial environment are consistently exposed to (sub) clinical infections and stressors, and systemic responses to such challenges significantly reduce the growth potential of modern pigs.
Colostrum intake is a key factor for survival and successful growth
Piglets׳ colostrum intake associates with daily weight gain and survival until weaning.
Dietary lysine content and sanitation conditions on performance of weaned pigs fed antibiotic-free diets
Lysine requirements for piglets fed antibiotic free-diets is higher than NRC (1998) recommendation.
European Union: authorisation of L-tyrosine as a feed additive for all animal species
European Commission has decided to authorize the use of L-tyrosine as a feed additive for all animal species in the functional group 'amino acids, their salts and analogues. "
Valine supplementation improves immune and endocrine function of lactating sows
Dietary valine supplementation increases serum albumin, IgM, IgG and prolactin concentrations.
Amino acid digestibility of microbial protein for growing pigs
Microbial protein with high digestible lysine content should be taken into account as a new protein source for swine nutrition.
The ideal ratio of SID threonine:lysine for growing pigs fed low crude protein diets
The optimum SID Thr:Lys to optimize ADG and FCR in growing pigs fed low CP protein diets is around 0.70.
High dietary tryptophan to overcome stress in weaning piglets
Supplemental dietary tryptophan may reduce stress during handling and transport in weanling pigs.
The use of crystalline amino acids in lactating sow diets
Corn/soybean meal lactation diets can contain up to 0.40% L–lysine-HCl with no detrimental effect on reproductive performance.
