Data sheet with nutritional value (table comparison), production, trade, and most recent studies about animal plasma.

Do you know which feeding system best fits your needs? This article describes and compares the systems that have been implemented in the last years: feeding ball, dry and wet feeding systems.

How can we promote a healthier microbiota, favorable for the pig and for its productivity? And, when is the best time to get it?

As of August 13th, 2019, the maximum copper limit allowed in piglet feed will be reduced. Faced with this change, what nutritional strategies can I use?

Nutritional value (table comparison), production, trade and the most recent studies on soybean meal.

The effect of environment temperature on the body temperature is greater than that of ingestion and digestion of food.

The compounds responsible of boar taint can be reduced through feeding strategies, genetic selection and good management practices.

This article offers a new alternative to plastic feed scoops, the use of a 5/10-liter can made of strong plastic and with a built-in handle.

In the previous paper, the effects of nutrient restriction and consequent catabolism during lactation on sow reproduction yield have been addressed. In the present paper, the efficiency of sows in using energy from feed and body mass is considered.

The study described here was designed to determine if the body tissue mobilization during lactation imposed by feed restriction could affect litter size and sow performance in the subsequent lactation.

Pelleting and extrusion can potentially increase energy and nutrient digestibility of swine diets and their effects are affected by the diet composition.

The handling disadvantages derived from the addition of an extra feed are outweighed by the improvement in production and decrease in the number of farrowing problems.

The addition of alternative ingredients to the ration will depend mainly on how their variation in nutritional composition compares to soybeans and on their price, which will determine their inclusion rate and their actual inclusion.

The immunomodulatory effect —particularly anti-inflammatory— of phytogenic products added to the diet seems to play a crucial role in addressing intestinal clinical pictures in pigs.

Variability of feed ingredients is analysed, as well as its consequences on consumption and lean tissue growth in fattening pigs.

An accurate diagnosis is sometimes difficult because of the common occurrence of mixed infections, the compounding effects of environment and nutrition and the difficulties experienced in isolating and identifying all the possible pathogenic agents involved.
