Composition of longissimus muscle in late-stage finishing pigs is lysine dependent
Lysine deficient diets at the end of the fattening period may promote intramuscular fat deposition affecting fatty acid composition.
Effects of dietary fat on the saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid metabolism in growing pigs
The effect of dietary fats differing in fatty acid (FA) composition on the metabolism of saturated FA (SFA) and monounsaturated FA (MUFA) in growing pigs was investigated.
Effects of α-ketoglutarate on the intestinal microbiota and metabolites in growing pigs
The α-ketoglutarate supplementation may affect intestinal microbiota promoting SCFA production in the intestine.
People are continually exposed to incorrect information about livestock and the environment
A new study by FAO and published in Global Food Security found that livestock rely primarily on forages, crop residues and by-products that are not edible to humans and that certain production systems contribute directly to global food security, as they produce more highly valuable nutrients for humans, such as proteins, than they consume.
Probiotics, prebiotics and colostrum as feed additives for piglets under vaccination against PRRSV
The development of piglet immune system under vaccination against PRRSV it is not improved by the use of probiotics and prebiotics or colostrum.
FAO: Global cereal output heading for a new record
FAO raised its forecast for global cereal production to 2 611 million tonnes, an all-time record. Worldwide stocks of cereals are also expected to reach an all-time high by the close of seasons in 2018, according to the latest FAO Cereal Supply and Demand Brief.
European import duties for maize, sorghum and rye updated
This revised tariff, triggered by an automatic mechanism that calculates import duties, will avoid putting European producers at a disadvantage.
Feeding sodium butyrate in the late finishing diets for Salmonella prevalence
Sodium butyrate supplementation in finishing diets may reduce Salmonella carriage, shedding and seroprevalence in commercial conditions.
Sugar cane extract supplementation and meat quality improvement in growing-finishing pigs
Dietary sugar cane extract supplementation may promote enhanced oxidative stability and improve meat quality in growing finishing pigs.
Insects as an alternative raw material in pig feed
Products obtained from insects have a high proportion of crude protein: 40-44% in the case of the black soldier fly larvae, or up to 60% in the case of black fly larvae or in grasshoppers, and even reaching 70% in the case of silkworms.
Analysis of the intestinal situation of piglets
Analysis of the intestinal situation of piglets is an essential action in health management programs. A piglet population with good intestinal health has excellent feed conversion efficiency.
Fermented soybean meal for swine weanling diets
Fermented soybean meal may become a suitable and economic protein source for weanling diets according nutrient digestibility and intestinal health.
Arginine and amino acids supplementation in gestating gilts
Arginine and other amino supplementation in gestating gilts improve farrowing and litter performance in low prolificity sows (≤14 total piglets born).
Diet presentation form affects pig growing performance and carcass characteristics
Fine grinding improves feed efficiency for meal but not for pelleted diets although pelleting improves average daily gain in growing pigs.
