Effect of feeder adjustment on growth performance of growing and finishing pigs
In dry feeders/hoppers feed should slightly cover more than half of the feed pan to avoid limiting pig performance

Effect of crude glycerol on pellet mill production and nursery pig growth performance
The inclusion of crude glycerol in nursery diets may reduce feeding costs by
enhancing feed mill efficiency
Dietary strategies to reduce food-borne pathogens in pigs
In preliminary studies post-weaning diarrhea-causing E. coli and Salmonella populations were reduced by feeding colicins to weaned pigs.
Intestinal metabolism of weaned piglets fed a typical United States or European diet with or without supplementation of tributyrin and lactitol
The supplementation of slowly released tributyrin and lactitol in piglet diets may overcome the adverse effects of vegetable protein sources during the nursery phase
Carcass, meat quality, and sensory characteristics of heavy body weight pigs fed ractopamine hydrochloride
Dietary ractopamine supplementation in pig diet during the fattening period may improve carcass and primal cuts without affecting pork qualty
Effects of L-Carnitine supplementation one week prior to farrowing and during lactation on its concentration in milk, return to oestrus and growth performance of piglets
The dietary supplementation with L-Carnitine during late gestation and lactation in sows may increase L-Carnitine level in sow milk, and improve piglets' performance
Effect of neonatal iron status, iron injections at birth and weaning in young pigs from sows fed either organic or inorganic trace minerals
Independently of the nature of the Fe source in sow diet, the Fe injection at birth it is critical to achieve optimum growth of piglets
Energy requirements of growing pigs: Practical implications
Practical diet formulation takes into account more than the response of the pig to increasing dietary energy. Available feed ingredients, feed processing capability, and economic value of average daily gain also have an impact on determining the most economical dietary energy level.
Performance and carcass traits of pigs submitted to different programs of feed restriction from 30 to 118 kg
A feed restriction protocol of 21 days in the finishing phase followed by ad libitum feeding programme since to slaughter may improve efficiency in growing-finishing pigs
Tissue fatty acid composition of pigs fed different fat sources
Tissue fatty acid composition in pigs may be directly modulated by dietary fatty acid profile
Amino acid digestibility of high-protein corn dried distillers grains with solubles in pigs
The use of the dry defraction method of corn grains and steam drying during the fermentation process produces higher digestible DDGS for swine
Influence of organoleptic properties of the feed and nursery diets complexity on pre-weaning and nursery performance
The use of complex nursery diets with the same flavour of creep feed may stimulate
feed intake just after weaning
Magnesium in Pig Nutrition
Dietary Mg supplementation has been observed to improve pork quality, specifically color and fluid loss.
Effect of lactation feed intake and creep feeding on sow and piglet performance
Increasing total feed intake of sows during lactation may improve litter gain and sow productivity
The finance crisis: Grain prices will rise as production falls off
Experts expect price increases in second half of 2009 with wheat in the Paris exchange rising to 200 €/t. Recommendations include forward selling when prices high.
Rice protein concentrate partially replaces dried whey in the diet for early-weaned piglets and improves their growth performance
The use of rice protein concentrate in weanling diets may reduce feed costs and improve growth performance in piglets
