FAO raises its global wheat and maize output forecasts
FAO raised its world cereal production forecast for 2016 to 2 543 million tonnes, just 0.7 percent below the record high of 2014.
Alternative sources of soy protein in pigs' feed
The addition of alternative ingredients to the ration will depend mainly on how their variation in nutritional composition compares to soybeans and on their price, which will determine their inclusion rate and their actual inclusion.
The performance of lactating sows and their offspring assessed over feed presentation
Feed presentation in crumbles or mash for does not affect sow and litter performance.
Global trade of all grains & oilseeds has grown
Global trade of all grains & oilseeds has grown by about 150 million tonnes in the last five years, thereby exceeding the growth of the previous five years by more than 50 percent.
Growth performance is affected by abrupt diet form change in growing-finishing pigs
An abrupt change between diet forms on finishing pigs can affect growth performance.
Dietary organic zinc attenuates heat stress–induced changes in pig intestinal integrity and metabolism
Heat stress and reduced feed intake compromised intestinal integrity in pigs, and zinc AA complex source mitigates some of these negative effects.
Changes in diet nutrient digestibility and growth performance of starter pigs when feeding barley
Barley may be a suitable cereal to replace wheat in starter dies for piglets.
Nutrigenomics in swine nutrition
Neonatal mineral and vitamin supplementation have a huge impact on bone development and body composition via the regulation of mesenchymal stem cells and satellite cell programing.
Feed efficiency and carcass composition of crossberds from two Pietrain sire lines differ when varying in energy concentration
Crossbreed and energy level affects growth performance and carcass quality.
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.
