A proper feed restriction during rearing period may be a successful strategy to reduce lameness in gilts.

Pigs performed equivalent in both systems, but from an animal welfare view we recommend dry feed to growing pigs.

In conclusion, 0.70 SID Val : Lys is suggested as the Val requirement for 8 to 14 kg individually housed pigs.

Wheat bran inclusion increases hindgut fermentation ileal and faecal digestibility and weight gain in growing pigs.

Dietary Lys restriction during finisher period in pigs impaired growth performances and was not successful to increase the carcass fat deposition, although it could have positive effects on the intramuscular fat proportion of pork.

The overall conclusion is that the nutritional value of alternative diets with NSP-rich ingredients can be improved by fermentation and concurrent addition of NSP–degrading enzymes.

Prediction of dietary nutrient digestibility in pigs by NIRS analysis of fecal content could be used as a suitable tool for swine nutrition.

Under the conditions of this study, PEDV viability in feed was influenced by ingredient with extended survival in SBM. Furthermore, LA treatment rendered virus inactive, independent of ingredient type.

Phytase supplementation increased P and amino acid digestibility in low and normal phytic P pea cultivars.

The dietary fish oil inclusion may prevent  lameness appearance in  sows.

Sows with high peripartal feeding show highest colostrum yield and better colostrum composition.

Fruity flavor inclusion is better accepted by sows and piglets than sodium butyrate.

High inclusion of citrus pulp improves palatability of pork products but decreases pig performance.

Dietary novelty may be a method to stimulate early exploratory behaviour, feed intake and performance.

The results indicates no evidence of infectivity of the PEDV RNA in the SDPP lot utilized.

Camelina cake may be an alternative energy source for swine diets but with low digestibility of AA and CP.
