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.
Securing the future (IV): Feed prices to ease?
Feed prices may well drift back this spring at a time when pig prices are likely to firm producers at the ‘Securing the Future’ seminar were told by Aidan O’Toole of Devenish Nutrition.
Securing the Future (I): Cheap creep feed a dear buy!
Pig producers packed a ‘Securing the Future’ seminar in Cookstown to discuss how best they to take those opportunities 2012 and the years beyond.
Dietary lysine and energy levels affect on growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients in weanling pigs
Increasing dietary lysine and energy levels improves growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients.
Modeling the fate of dietary phosphorus in the digestive tract of growing pigs
A mathematical model serves as a tool to study phosphorus digestibility for different feedstuffs and feeding strategies.
Enrichment with n-3 fatty acid by tuna oil feeding of pigs: changes in composition and properties of bacon and different sausages as affected by the supplementation period
The tuna oil had been supplemented either initially, at the end, or continuously during fattening.
CLA during last week of gestation and lactation alters colostrum and milk fat composition and performance of reproductive sows
CLA administration to sows reduces backfat thickness loss during the lactation period and lets to higher piglet weight at weaning.
Urinary tract infections (UTI) in the lactating sows: is it a real problem?
UTIs are among the most frequent bacterial infections in the herd but they are rarely diagnosed or taken into consideration by veterinarians.
Glutamine supplementation improves intestinal barrier function in a weaned piglet model of Escherichia coli infection
Glutamine supplementation may be useful in reducing the severity of weaning-related gastrointestinal infections.
Folic acid affects performance of suckling piglets and sows during lactation
Supplementation with folic acid in the diets of lactating sows increases milk production, improves milk quality and the performance of piglets.
Effects of DDGS and enzyme premix supplements on growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality parameters in finishing pigs
DDGS may be used in feeds for finishing pig as a replacement of corn and soybean meal without affecting their carcass characteristics and meat quality.
