The optimal SID Trp:Lys differs depending on the pigs’ BW and the parameter measured.

Dietary chromium propionate inclusion may benefit growth performance in heat-stressed finishing pigs.

In practice, delaying pigs from the normal production flow translates into higher feeding costs, increase number of days to slaughter and increased labour requirements reducing production efficiency for the pig operation.

Dried pomaces supplementation in growing-fattening dieta may improve meat quality and lipid profile of pork.

Body weight and feeding system are determining factors for the welfare status, while group size was not proved to affect the welfare level under the studied conditions of pig fattening.

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.

In conclusion, our study confirms that high temperature reduces feed intake, growth performance, and HP.

Pigs can be fed diets including up to 240 g/kg canola meal together with 150 g/kg DDGS without affecting performance and carcass quality.

Lysine requirements for piglets fed antibiotic free-diets is higher than NRC (1998) recommendation.

Compensatory growth had no effect on carcass quality with the use of by-products.

The ZnAA may reduce the negative effects of severe heat stress on ileal integrity.

Fulvic acid increases growth performance and improve meat quality.

The use of a satiety-inducing flavour in diet may promote feed efficiency in fattening pigs.

These results may contribute to the improvement of the welfare and performance of growing-finishing pigs by a better knowledge of the influence of the rearing environment.

Phytase supplementation in growing diets may improve P and Cu retention.
