Improving lifetime performance by steering on body weight and backfat thickness in young sows
Modern sows are able to produce over 70 weaned piglets during their productive live.
The impact of short-term feeding of Mg supplements on the quality of pork packaged in modified atmosphere
Short-term magnesium chelate supplementation improves water holding capacity and sensory visual assessment on pork packaged in modified atmosphere.
Growth performance, nitrogen, and phosphorus excretion of pigs fed with incremental levels of DDGS
Maize DDGS may present a viable option to substitute a premium feed ingredient in growing–finishing pig diets.
Russia: Government sees no reason for grain export limiting
The forecast of grain exports from Russia became increased to the level of 27 mln tonnes.
Fatty acid profiles and iodine value correlations between 4 carcass fat depots from pigs fed varied combinations of ractopamine and energy
The iodine value of one fat depot may not be a good indication of iodine value of other fat depots.
Varying creep feed duration affects pre-weaning and post-weaning performance and behavior of piglet and sow
Creep feed initiated from day 5 and 10 reduce diarrhea scores in piglets and the estrus interval in sows.
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.
Dietary lysine restriction during the finishing period on barrows and gilts intended for dry-cured ham production
Different feeding programs might be needed for barrows and gilts to optimize the production of high quality dry-cured hams.
Increased dietary zinc oxide changes the bacterial core and enterobacterial composition in the ileum of piglets
Increased dietary ZnO could lead to an increased competition among enterobacteria and, consequently, reduce the occurrence of pathogenic E. coli strains.
Reducing the cost of pig feed (I)
We should focus on actions that are in our hands to try to improve the profitability of our farms.
Effects of pig genotype on nutrient digestibility, relative organ weight and small intestine structure
The strategy of this study was to test the effects of pig genotype and crude protein (CP) supply on performance, digestive utilization of nutrients, relative organ weight and morphometric analysis of the small intestine.
Dietary protein/carbohydrate ratio affects on fat deposition and gene expression of finishing pigs
An increase in intramuscular fat in pigs fed low protein diets is related to tissue-specific activation of gene expression.
