A high feed conversion ratio and what about mortality?
If my farm's feed conversion ratio is up, the first thing I have to look at is how mortality is doing.
Distribution of African swine fever virus within a feed mill environment
ASF virus became widely distributed throughout the facility with only minor changes in detection frequency as subsequent batches of feed were produced.
How manganese source and level in diet of growing-finishing pigs impacts growth performance and carcass characteristics
The source and inclusion level of manganese supplemented in growing-finishing diets affects pig growth and efficiency.
Evaluating the benefits on gut health of a Prevotella-rich enterotype in finishing pigs fed a diet with a high amylose-to-amylopectin ratio
Enterotype and diet amylose-to-amylopectin ratio may affect intestinal heath driven by enteric positive short chain fatty acid production.
Weaned piglet performance and nutrient digestion in response to dietary L-glutamine and glutamic acid combination, and whey powder
Functional amino acids supplementation directly improves gut health and integrity in weanling pigs.
Only the best is good enough for the smallest of the newly weaned piglets
An optimized weaning diet may be one of the most important tools in obtaining a successful weaning. The diet tested in this trial could keep post-weaning diarrhea at very low level.
Impact of spray-dried porcine plasma in peripartum sow feed on subsequent litter size
Spray-dried plasma supplementation effects on litter size can be observed in subsequent parturition.
The FAO Food Price Index: highest level since June 2011

APC launches new hdrolyzed products line
APC has taken a step further with the launch of a hydrolyzed proteins line of products, Pepteiva, Peptein and Cravings based on the already proven proteins and functional products such as Appetein (plasma) and AP 301 (hemoglobin).
Effects of switching from DDGS to corn and soybean meal-based diets on finishing pig performance and carcass traits
Early withdrawal of corn distillers dried grains with solubles improves performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs.
Performance and carcass quality affected by different amino acid levels during growing and finishing
Beneficial impacts of restricting amino acid during the growing and early finishing phases to improve efficiency until slaughter.
Milk supplementation in the farrowing room: an alternative strategy with hyperprolific sows?
A much higher percentage of piglets prefer milk supplement over creep feed. Here are the results of the latest studies on this subject.
Trouw Nutrition, Inga Food, and Nanta celebrate completion of first swine study at Validation Farm Arruego
Validation farms are an integral part of assessing the efficacy and practical applications of dietary and management solutions in real-world conditions.
