Gestation diets containing 15% wheat aleurone improve stress state, postprandial satiety, and performance of sows
Wheat aleurone in gestating diets may improve sow welfare while reducing production costs.
Effects of energy and dietary fiber on mammary development in gilts
Increasing fiber in high-energy diets reduced fat deposition and mammary cell apoptosis in gilts.
Effects of dietary fiber supplementation in gestating sow on fetal growth and placental development and function through serotonin signaling pathway
Dietary fiber may improve placental development in gestating sows.
Diet and microbiota-gut-brain axis in relation to tail biting in pigs
While tail biting is multifactorial, an imbalance in the microbiota-gut-brain axis, modulated via the diet, should be considered as a pathway for the development of tail biting.
The impact of including fiber in weaned piglet diets
The use of fiber can be a good strategy to control post-weaning diarrhea, but what type of fiber is effective?
The impact of a fiber-rich diet during farrowing and lactation on health and performance of sows
High fibre intake during parturition and lactation may improve health status and reduce faecal pathogen bacteria excretion.
Effects of fibre supplementation on social behaviour of group-housed sows and their performance during lactation
Fibre supplementation may reduce sow aggressions during gestation.
Supplementing pre-weaning piglet diets with fibre did not improve resilience to a post-weaning enterotoxigenic E. coli challenge
Fibre inclusion in pre-weaning piglet diets does not improve growth performance nor gastrointestinal health.
