Diet and ingredient switching does not affect pig performance during the finishing period.

Feeding grower-finishing pigs diets containing up to 30% DDGS had no adverse effects on growth performance, although up to 20% fat quality may be adversely affected.

Mannan-oligosaccharide supplementation may improve mineral digestibility.

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

Pelleted canola meal may be a suitable protein source for piglet diets

Reducing dietary lysine from 1.16 to 0.73% enhances proportion of oxidative muscle fiber in porcine muscle.

Feed extrusion increased dietary nutrient digestibility in gowing pigs

Nutrient excretion may be reduced without affecting growth performance, bone variables, and carcass characteristics in growing-fattening pigs

The use of glycerine in pig diets does not negatively affect pig performance or frequency of histological lesions in tissues associated with methanol metabolism

Dietary vitamin A supplementation does not affect major fatty acid composition of intramuscular lipids, but leads to a higher C16:0 and total SFA concentration in liver lipids.

Dietary supplementation with soybean hulls and metal amino acid chelated minerals may reduce noxious gas emissions during growing fattening period

Nutrient digestibility may be enhanced by ß-glucanase-protease enzyme blend product supplementation of growing diets

In dry feeders/hoppers feed should slightly cover more than half of the feed pan to avoid limiting pig performance

Dietary ractopamine supplementation in pig diet during the fattening period may improve carcass and primal cuts without affecting pork qualty

A feed restriction protocol of 21 days in the finishing phase followed by ad libitum feeding programme since to slaughter may improve efficiency in growing-finishing pigs

Tissue fatty acid composition in pigs may be directly modulated by dietary fatty acid profile
