Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in pigs is impaired by the garlic volatile allyl methyl sulfide
The garlic-derived volatile allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) as a lead compound of volatile garlic metabolites was shown to exhibit an antibacterial effect against the pig pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 9.
Amino acid digestibility in heated soybean meal fed to growing pigs
Autoclaving but not oven drying reduces the concentration and digestibility of AA in soybean meal.
Investigating sulphur content in pig slurry using a nutritional approach
The feed composition may have a marked effect on sulphur excretion, with a specific contribution of some feedstuffs with high inorganic sulphur content.
Modification of selected bacteria and markers of protein fermentation in pigs upon consumption of chitosan is accompanied by heightened manure odor emissions
Lactic-acid bacteria can modulate manure odor emissions, regardless of fermentable protein availability.
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.
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.
