Administration of Pediococcus acidilactici or Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii modulates development of porcine mucosal immunity and reduces intestinal bacterial translocation after Escherichia coli challenge
Porcine mucosal immune response against E coli may be modulated by dietary probiotic supplementation.
FAO cuts wheat production forecast but considers supplies adequate
International wheat prices have jumped by over 50 percent since June. This rapid increase in prices is prompting concerns about a repeat of the crisis of 2007/08. But after two consecutive years of record crops, world inventories have been replenished sufficiently to cover the current anticipated production shortfall.
European Commission forecasts average crop production for 2010 in the EU despite extreme weather
Total cereal production in 2010 should be close to the average from the last five years. While the yield per hectare will be 5% above average, overall cultivated areas have decreased.
Russia - Decrease in grain production forecast
Several months of drought and heat in European have resulted in a decrease in the Russian grain production forecast to 62 million metric tons, 36 percent less than the last year crop.
International Grains Council - Grain market report
Significantly reduced wheat and barley crop prospects, especially in the CIS and the EU, cut the 2010/11 global grains crop forecast by 8m. tons from July, to 1,745m., 2.4% below the previous year’s record.
Supplemental zinc reduced intestinal permeability by enhancing occluding and zonula occludens protein-1 (ZO-1) expression in weaning piglets
The use of pharmacological Zn doses in weanling diets for piglets may reduce intestinal permeability against potential pathogens.
Crude protein in piglet diets
To maximize piglet growth, it is recommended that levels of crude protein be at 20-23% in pre-starters and 18-20% in starters. However, part of that crude protein will not be digested at the end of the ileum, and it will enter the large intestine together with the endogenous waste.
Enhanced lumbar spine bone mineral content in piglets fed arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid is modulated by severity of growth restriction
Growth restricted piglets may benefit from additional long-chain PUFA supplementation.
Digestion rate of dietary starch affects systemic circulation of amino acids in weaned pigs
High level of rapidly digestible starch allows higher systemic circulating concentrations of most AA in pigs.
Effects of phenyllactic acid on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, microbial shedding, and blood profile in pigs
Phenyllactic acid may play as a natural alternative to antibiotics in pig diets.
Early deposition of n-3 fatty acids from tuna oil in lean and adipose tissue of fattening pigs is mainly permanent
Fish oil may be a useful ingredient to enrich pork with n-3 fatty acids, independently of the supplementation period.
Intestinal physiology and peptidase activity in male pigs are modulated by consumption of corn culture extracts containing fumonisins
The presence of secondary metabolites in the diet like fumonisin may compromise intestinal physiology and enzyme activity in weanling piglets.
Dietary supplementation with 0.8% L-Arginine between days 0 and 25 of gestation reduces litter size in gilt
Dietary L-Arginine supplementation may negatively affect gilt reproductive performance.
Evaluation of the effect of increasing dietary vitamin E in combination with different fat sources on performance, humoral immune responses and antioxidant status of weaned pigs
Immune response or triglyceride and cholesterol levels in plasma are influenced by the fat source fed rather than the level of vitamin E in weanling pig.
Fattening: Cleanliness and feed
This new test has to do with the correct feed and levels of hygiene in the pens.
