Phosphorus requirements of growing-finishing pigs reared in a commercial environment

A challenge in animal production today is to raise livestock within new environmental rules and regulations. Although most states in the United States regulate swine waste application based on N concentration, more are changing to P-based regulations.

NutritionAbstract

Effects of feeder design on growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs

The use of a wet-dry feeder improves pig performance until slaughter, without improving carcass performance.

NutritionAbstract

Influence of micronization (fine grinding) of soya bean meal and fullfat soya bean on productive performance and digestive traits in young pigs

Soya bean meal and fullfat soya bean micronization does not improve piglet performance and digestibility of dietary components

FAO - Food production will have to increase by 70 percent

Producing 70 percent more food for an additional 2.3 billion people by 2050 while at the same time combating poverty and hunger, using scarce natural resources more efficiently and adapting to climate change are the main challenges world agriculture will face in the coming decades, according to an FAO discussion paper.

Belgium - New test farm for pigs

The Belgian Trial and Education Centre for Agriculture (PVL) will construct a new test farm for pigs in Bocholt.

NutritionAbstract

Effect of graded levels of iron, zinc, and copper supplementation in diets with low phytate or normal barley on growth performance, bone characteristics, hematocrit volume, and zinc and copper balance of young swine

Fe and Zn supplementation of pig diets may stimulate growth performance in young animals

NutritionAbstract

The effect of iron glycine chelate on tissue mineral levels, fecal mineral concentration, and liver antioxidant enzyme activity in weanling pigs

Iron glycine chelate improves iron tissue storage and Zinc retention in liver and kidney in weanling piglets

Use of Oligosaccharides in Swine Nutrition

Our research model has been a short chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) fed to swine. This compound was selected because it was identified in human and swine milk, was shown to have health benefits in human infants and patients recovering from intestinal anastomosis. The health benefit was believed to occur via the trophic effect of scFOS on the Bifidobacteria population.

NutritionAbstract

L-Carnitine supplementation during suckling intensifies the early postnatal skeletal myofiber formation in piglets of low birth weight

L-Carnitine supplementation of piglet diets may reduce the negatieve impact of low birth weight

NutritionAbstract

Responses of pigs to Aspergillus niger phytase supplementation of low-protein or high-phytin diets

The use of an exogenous microbial phytase in growing diets may improve P digestibility and bioavailability

Canada - More toxic Fusarium graminearum chemotype more prevalent in western Canada

The Canadian Grain Commission reports a new more aggressive and toxic form of fusarium graminearum is quickly replacing the more familiar form in western Canada.

NutritionAbstract

Response to dietary digestible energy concentration in growing pigs fed cereal grain-based diets

Dietary composition and digestible energy content variation during the grower phase may affect growth performance and carcass quality

EU - Farmers face animal feed shortage

Farmers face an imminent shortage of animal feed because a handful of countries are blocking the approval of genetically modified crops, the European Union’s farm chief warned on Monday.

NutritionAbstract

Effects of chito-oligosaccharide supplementation on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, and fecal shedding of Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus in weaning pigs

Dietary supplementation of chito-oligosaccharide may enhance piglet performance at weaning

NutritionArticle

Fiber in piglet feed

Fiber includes a great variety of components with different physicochemical properties that will affect the digestive processes, separately or by combining, in properties such as solubility, viscosity, formation of gels, water retention capacity, bulkiness, endogenous secretions, nutrient absorption, fermentations, intestinal transit, etc.

EU - Council adopts new rules for animal by-products

The Council today adopted a regulation modernising the EU rules for so-called animal by-products 2, following a first-reading agreement with the European Parliament.
