Spray-dried animal plasma on weanling pigs administered a PCV2 and M. hyopneumoniae vaccine strategy
Early administration of spray-dried animal plasma may stimulate feed intake in weanling pigs.
Effects of dietary spray-dried egg on growth performance and health of weaned pigs
The addition of spray-dried egg in piglet’s diet may improve improving health and growth rate.
The consumption of milk without restrictions does not guarantee the production success of the piglet after its weaning
The piglets that suckle in the rear area of the udder start to eat feed before, and this would explain their better adaptation to the weaning.
Poor weaning transition ADG in is not correlated with pathological or immunological markers of enteric disease during a PRRSV outbreak
Poor tADG in pigs is not correlated with pathogens or immunological markers of enteric disease during a PRRSV.
Iodine in water on weight gain, diarrhea and oral and dental health of nursery pigs
Iodine supplementation in-water does not affect growth performance in nursery pigs.
Lysine:crude protein ratio on growth performance of nursery pigs
A total lysine:crude protein ratio higher than 7.35% may reduce growth performance in post-weaned piglets.
The level of dietary fiber and sanitary conditions affects growth and health in weanling pigs
The inclusion of high-fiber diets just after weaning in poor sanitary conditions may reduce piglet weight gain.
Clinical case: Necrotizing pneumonia in suckling piglets
In a factory farm located in Mexico an increase in the mortality in the farrowing quarters was seen, and this coincides with temperature and relative humidity increases.
Yeast hydrolyzed protein on performance of weaned piglets
Yeast hydrolyzed protein improves weight gain and uniformity in weaned piglets.
Effect of mixing piglets affected by Escherichia coli diarrhea on growth and welfare responses
Mixing piglets affected by E. coli diarrhea may have a detrimental effect on growth rate.
Supplementing sows with a zootechnical feed additive decreases fecal shedding of bacteria and improves calostral immunoglobulin concentrations and litter performance
The use of a zootechnical feed additive during gestation may reduce microbial pathogens in feces and improve IGA concentration in calostrum.

SWE supplementation post-weaning provides a dietary means to improve gut health and to enhance growth performance in starter pigs.
Effects of adding cracked corn to a pelleted supplement for nursery and finishing pigs
The use of cracked corn in pelleted diets may improve performance and reduce gastric ulcer scores in fattening pigs.
Keratinase affects performance and intestinal morphology and ecology of piglets fed diets with different levels of crude protein
Keratinase supplementation has a positive effect on the performance of weanling piglets fed corn-soybean diets.
