Latin American Network for improving pig production
109 researchers from 14 countries will take part in this network funded by CYTED and intended for improving pigmeat production through innovative, sustainable production systems.
Establishment and maintenance of routine analysis of data from the Rapid Alert System on Food and Feed
The Emerging Risks Unit (EMRISK) was requested by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to develop a system for the routine monitoring of data from the Rapid Alert System on Food and Feed (RASFF), with the main objective of describing potentially relevant patterns of notifications for the detection of emerging risks and a timely reporting.
Dietary conjugated linoleic acid changes belly and bacon quality from pigs fed varied lipid sources
Dietary CLA inclusion during the fattening period may improve bacon firmness and stability
Development and in vitro evaluation of an Escherichia coli probiotic able to inhibit the growth of pathogenic Escherichia coli K88
An E. coli based probiotic may produce inhibitory activity against enterotoxigenic strains for swine
Alltech opens new office in Spain
As part of its ongoing global expansion, animal health and nutrition company, Alltech, has announced the opening of its first office in Spain.
Feeding a diet with decreased protein content reduces indices of protein fermentation and the incidence of postweaning diarrhoea in weaned pigs challenged with an enterotoxigenic strain of Escherichia coli (ETEC)
Feeding a diet decreased in CP for 7 or 14 days can achieve a reduction in PWD and not cause any loss in production in postweaning period.
New feeder saves piglets’ lives
Known as Milkiwean feeder, it is a special adaptation of the company’s successful Transition feeder enabling it to dispense warm milk and early weaning feed so that very young and surplus piglets can be reared.
Water quality in pigs
Water is the most essential nutrient to livestock nutrition and must be considered as much as possible. It should be drinkable, it should not contain harmful substances and should be readily available for the animals concerned.
Determining an optimum lysine:calorie ratio for barrows and gilts in a commercial finishing facility
The dietary lysine optimization may reduce feed cost per kilogram of gain in pigs during the growing-finishing phase
USA - 2009 crop year is one for the record books, USDA reports
U.S. farmers produced the largest corn and soybean crops on record in 2009, according to the Crop Production 2009 Summary released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
Management of dry-wet hoppers
Since concentrated feeds were first used it has been possible to see that mixing them with water has certain advantages. Probably the most important are a higher consumption and an improved exploitation.
France – Decrease in feed production
According to figures from Coop de France Nutrition animale/Snia, the production of animal feed has suffered a reduction of 5.6% during the third quarter of 2009, although this reduction is not as big as that observed in the two previous quarters in which the decreases were by 7.7% and 7.2%.
Supplementation with high-oleic sunflower oil and alpha-tocopheryl acetate: Effects on pork meat lipids
Vitamin E acetate supplementation in high-oleic sunflower oil may improve meat lipid stability
A moderate excess of dietary lysine lowers plasma and tissue carnitine concentrations in pigs
Dietary excess of lysine reduces the concentration of g-butyrobetaine in muscle affecting the synthesis of carnitine
Vietnam increases import tariffs on feed raw materials
Vietnam’s move to increase import tariffs on major feed raw materials will raise feed and meat prices in the country.
