Pea protein concentrate and fullfat soya bean have a negative impact on piglet performance and ileal digestibility compared to regular SBM
Effect of dietary soybean hulls and metal-amino acid chelated mineral supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and noxious gas emission in growing pigs
Dietary supplementation with soybean hulls and metal amino acid chelated minerals may reduce noxious gas emissions during growing fattening period
Effect of dietary supplementation of an enzyme blend on the ileal and faecal digestibility of nutrients in growing pigs
Nutrient digestibility may be enhanced by ß-glucanase-protease enzyme blend product supplementation of growing diets
Peripartal feeding strategy with different n-6:n-3 ratios in sow: effect on gene expression in backfat white adipose tissue postpartum
The expression of the responsible genes for trapping, release and storage of fatty acids and glucose may be modulated by altering n-6:n-3 ratio of the diet in pregnant sows
Effect of different feeding regimens on growth, longevity, and semen characteristics of working boars in a commercial AI stud
AI boar longevity may be improved by using an adequate feeding programme without affecting semen production and quality
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

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.

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
