Conjugated linoleic acid during late gestation reduces the fat content in the colostrum and increases IgG
Colostrum production and immunoglobulin concentrations to conjugated linoleic acid during late gestation.
Protein restriction during the growing period on carcass, meat and fat quality of heavy barrows and gilts
Crude protein restriction during the growing period may have a positive impact on meat characteristics for dry-cured products.
Oral administration of N-carbamylglutamate might improve growth performance and intestinal function of suckling piglets
Oral administration of 50 mg/kg BW NCG to newborn piglets improved growth performance, increased the endogenous synthesis of arginine and arginine family of amino acids, jejunal lactase activity and cecal Lactobacillus spp. numbers, and stimulated secretion of ileal sIgA.
Catechins during gestation
Catechins may exert a successful antioxidative capacity in early gestation improving sow reproductive performance.
Feeding 20% soybean hulls to grower-finisher pigs with or without enzyme supplementation
High inclusion of soybean hulls may be used in finishing diets without without a negative impact on performance.
Practical approach to the critical control points of post-weaning diarrhoea on the farm
Enric Marco sums up the essential points to control post-weaning diarrhoea in our farm.
Robust outlook for global cereal supplies in 2016
World cereal production in 2016 is set to amount to 2 521 million tonnes, just 0.2 percent off last year's large output and the third-highest global performance on record.
Energy supplementation to neonatal piglets of low birth weight
Energy supplementation to neonatal piglets of low birth weight may reduce piglet mortality.
Pre-lactation nutrition strategies for optimal sow and piglet performance
The evolution of genetics in modern sows requires nutritionists to evolve their diets and feeding programs accordingly. Nutritionist need to consider not only the role of nutrition on metabolism but also on hormone regulation and subsequent reproduction.
Using phytogenic products in swine nutrition
The immunomodulatory effect —particularly anti-inflammatory— of phytogenic products added to the diet seems to play a crucial role in addressing intestinal clinical pictures in pigs.
Comparing efficacy of different xylanases on wheat or corn co–product diets
Xylanases supplementation of pig diets based coproducts from wheat and corn may improve performance during the growing period.
Strategies to control piglet weight variability in the nursery (2/2): Feeding and feeding troughs
Various strategies are discussed: offering up to 3 different types of feed, budget feeding, density of piglets per feeder space, ...
Effect of feeding different levels of sugar beet pulp on weaning piglets
Proper amounts of sugar beet pulp in weanling diets may improve post-weaning performance.
Iron deficiency and anemia in piglets and the effect of iron status at weaning on post-weaning performance
Consumption of nursery starter feeds containing high concentrations of ZnO is associated with post-weaning anemia.
