Effect of type and timing of oil supplements to sows during pregnancy on the growth performance and endocrine profile of low and normal birth weight offspring
The MUFA dietary supplementation during the first half of gestation may reduce the incidence of low birth weight
Effects of Porcine Circovirus type 2 and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccination timing and starter diet source on growth performance of nursery pigs
Weanling diet composition and vaccinating time may affect piglet growth performance at weaning
Whey Products in piglet diets
A large body of research data exists on the response of pigs to whey. Good quality whey protein contains all the protective components of milk protein.
Pea protein as a substitute of soya bean protein in diets for young pigs: effects on productivity and digestive traits
Pea protein concentrate and fullfat soya bean have a negative impact on piglet performance and ileal digestibility compared to regular SBM
Intestinal metabolism of weaned piglets fed a typical United States or European diet with or without supplementation of tributyrin and lactitol
The supplementation of slowly released tributyrin and lactitol in piglet diets may overcome the adverse effects of vegetable protein sources during the nursery phase
Influence of organoleptic properties of the feed and nursery diets complexity on pre-weaning and nursery performance
The use of complex nursery diets with the same flavour of creep feed may stimulate
feed intake just after weaning
Rice protein concentrate partially replaces dried whey in the diet for early-weaned piglets and improves their growth performance
The use of rice protein concentrate in weanling diets may reduce feed costs and improve growth performance in piglets
Controlling finisher PCV2 mortality: infection dynamics (1/2)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infections can be extremely costly causing wasting and increases in mortality.
Effects of dietary protein supply, weaning age and experimental enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection on newly weaned pigs: performance
Increasing weaning age and decreasing dietary protein level may help to minimise the effects of post-weaning colibacillocis on performance
Ventilation – heating and cooling
The purpose of a ventilation system is to remove excessive moisture and heat produced by animals in order to maintain an indoor climate within certain limits
Fatty acids and sows
Although many studies have shown that addition of fat to sow diets during late gestation can improve piglet status at birth and growth performance before weaning, less attention has been placed on the type of fatty acid in the diet and how specific fatty acids might improve piglet growth and survival.
Effect of sweeteners on individual feed intake characteristics and performance in group-housed weanling pigs
Dietary sweeteners in piglets diets may reduce the starvation period after weaning
Utilization of organic acids and phytase in diets for weaned piglets
Phytase supplementation combined with organic acids may reduce piglet diarrhoea at weaning
Use of hydrolyzed proteins of intestinal mucosa membrane, yeast and isolated soybean protein in diets with dried whole milk to weanling pigs
Hydrolyzed proteins of intestinal mucosa, yeast and isolated soybean protein may be taken into account as alternative protein sources for piglet diets
Vitamin C and ß-carotene in diets for pigs at weaning
The use of vitamin C and ß-carotene in weanling diets does not improve piglet performance or antioxidant activity
