Influence of access to grass silage on the welfare of sows introduced to a large dynamic group
Provision of silage racks to gestating sows is helpful to reduce stereotypic behaviours when sows are housed in large dynamic groups.

Effect of level of feed restriction during growth and/or fattening on fatty acid composition and lipogenic enzyme activity in heavy pigs
A low feeding level during the growing phase may be a useful tool to enhance the fatty acid composition in heavy Iberian pigs.
Effect of weaning age, protein nutrition and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli challenge on the health of newly weaned piglets
Weaning age and dietary crude protein content determine differences on the resistance of weaned piglets to the onset of postweaning colibacillosis.
Intestinal development and growth performance of early weaned piglets fed a low-threonine diet
Providing a well-balanced diet in Threonine is critical in order to maintain the mucosal structure of ileum in early weaned piglets.
Glutamine supplementation influences immune development in the newly weaned piglet
Glutamine in the weaning diets can favour a better immune status in piglets.
Energy value of crude glycerol in 11 and 110 kg pigs
Metabolizable Energy content of crude glycerol varies among weaning piglets and finishing pigs.
Organic acids in diets for entire male pigs: Effect on skatole level, microbiota in digesta, and growht performance
Organic acid addition in growing-finishing diets does not modify skatole concentration in the adipose tissue of entire male pigs.
Effect of particle size of cereals in the lactation diet on the performance of the sow and piglets
Reducing particle size of the lactation diets below 1000 µm do not necessarily represent and advantage for the productivity of the sow during lactation.
Dietary corn germ containing phytic acid prevents pork meat lipid oxidation while maintaining normal animal growth performance
Presence of phytic acid in finishing pig diets may provoke a reduction in the oxidative processes in pork meat.
Synchronising the availability of amino acids and glucose increases protein retention in pigs
Asynchrony in the supply of amino acids and glucose to the pig provokes a higher utilization of amino acids as a source of energy
Studies on the tryptophan requeriment of lactating sows. Part 1: Estimation of the tryptophan requeriment by performance
Increases in the tryptophan content in corn-based lactation diets, determines increases in the feed intake and performance of the sow
Investigations on potential dietetic effects of lactulose in pigs
Feeding lactulose to piglets increases hindgut fermentation, and in the growing
pig may determine a better hindgut environment for the development of Salmonella

Effects of the lactoferrin on the growth performance, intestinal microflora and morphology of weanling pigs
Lactoferrin in the weaning pig diets permits to improve growth performance, reducing diarrhoea presentation and modifying intestinal morphology in the weaning period.
Compensatory growth response in pigs: Effects on growth performance, composition of weight gain at carcass and muscle levels, and meat quality
Feeding restriction during the growing period followed by an ad libitum regime during the finishing determines a decrease in the content of intramuscular fat.
Hormonal response to dietary L-arginine supplementation in heat-stressed sows
Dietary L-arginine supplementation modifies blood insulin concentration of lactating sows.
Effects of crystalline amino acid supplementation to the diet on odour from pig manure
Dietary metionine and cystine contribute significantly to the odour emission from pig facilities.
