Fermentable fibre ameliorates fermentable protein-induced changes in microbial ecology in the colon of piglets
Fermentable fibre may change luminal microbial ecology by fermentable protein-induced changes in piglets.
The effect of increasing dietary fibre and the provision of straw racks on the welfare of sows housed in small static groups
The increase in dieterary fiber it is not enough to reduce stereotypic behaviour in static group housed sows.
Effects of high dietary fibre from by-products diets on plasma metabolites in gestating sows
Replacing starch by dietary fibre changes plasma metabolites profile in gestating sows.
Metabolic effects of dietary sugar beet pulp or wheat bran in growing female pigs
Wheat bran increases the capacity of the intestine for oxidative metabolism and sugar beet pulp induces a repartitioning of body lipid stores.
The use of seaweed extract in piglet diets
Seaweeds are rich in undigestible polysaccharides and are a potential source of soluble dietary fibers. The most abundant polysaccharides in brown seaweeds are laminarin, fucoidan and alginic acid.
Response of young pigs to feeding potato protein and potato fibre
While potato protein concentrate is well utilized by piglets, potato fibre does not reveal evident health promoting effects.
Viscosity and fermentability of dietary fibre affect nutrient digestibility and digesta characteristics in grower pigs
High-viscous, low-fermentable dietary fibre increases the proportion of a diet that is digested in the small intestine.
Influence of particle size and multi-enzyme supplementation of fibrous diets on weaning and growing pigs
A reduction in particle size and multi-enzyme supplementation are useful strategies in the post-weaning period, but not in the growing period.
Effects of type of cereal and fibre level on growth and parameters of the gastrointestinal tract in young pigs
Fermentable carbohydrates as a way to reduce protein fermentation and to promote beneficial microbial populations in piglets fed rice based diets.
Effects of two protein and fibre sources on SCFA concentration in pig large intestine
Importance of a proper balance between carbohydrates and nitrogen to obtain an optimal SCFA profile in large intestine.
Role of dietary fibre source and meal size on the ileal transit of digesta in growing pigs
Diet fibre content, but not feeding level, affects the rate of digesta passage in pigs.
Satiating properties of diets rich in dietary fibre fed to sows as evaluated by physico-chemical properties, gastric emptying rate and physical activity
The use of ingredients with high DF content in sow diets may reduce the physical activity of the sow.
Ulcers in swine livestock (2/2)
Nutrition is considered to be a clear factor that increases the risk of ulcers appearing.
Ulcers in swine livestock (1/2)
Stomach ulcers are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality, unrelated to infectious processes, that the industrial production of swine faces, both in reproduction as well as in finishing.
Incidence of fermentable fibre on piglet performances and health during post‐weaning
The dietary fibre after weaning could be able to constitute an alternative to the use of antibiotic growth promoters. This experiment carried out at INRA and IFIP, aimed to evaluate the effects of fermentable fibre on piglet performance and health during post‐weaning.
