Feeding large groups of piglets: practical implementation of choice feeding
Choice feeding is the best choice for piglets of different weights and / or ages to choose between two different feeds in order to meet their growth needs. The response is even better in farms with enteric problems.
L-glutamine affects piglet performance, immunity and intestinal health after weaning
L-glutamine supplementation improves intestinal health, nutrient digestibility and performance in weanling pigs.
FAO Meat Price Index dropped in October
The FAO Meat Price Index also fell, dropping 1.0 percent in October, with the drop largely driven by slacker demand for European pigmeat from importers in China.
Effects of antioxidant additives on meat quality and antioxidant status in finishing pigs under transport stress
Oregano essential oil or quercetin supplementation improves the antioxidant status in finishing pigs under transport stress.
Perinatal dietary choline deficiency in sows
Dietary choline deficiency induces alterations in plasma choline metabolites which are evident at the end of lactation. Betaine and select FAs in milk are sensitive to maternal dietary choline deficiency and day of lactation. Alterations in concentrations of these nutrients may affect early-life neonatal development.
Minimize the nutrient deficiency in early lactation and improve milk yield
A better fit of nutrient requirements in early lactation improves sow milk yield.
Agriculture has big role to play in curbing greenhouse gas emissions
Negative global effects of climate change are already being felt in some cereal crop yields. Climate change will likely lead to a loss of nutritional content of some foods, such as declining zinc, iron and protein counts in staple cereals...
Daily feeding regimen affects the pig growth and behaviour
Restricted feeding may improve lean percentage in growing pigs without a negative impact in welfare.
Flavour inclusion tolerance in weanling diets for piglets
Flavour inclusion in piglet diets is safe even at higher inclusion levels than those commonly used for the industry.
Effect of fermentable and inert fibre in weaning piglets
Predicting the functional effect of fibre ingredients when fed to early weaning piglets is advisable in order to control the gut health.
AB Vista reveals phytase superdosing strategies to help European producers maximise mineral release
Phytate is present in all plant-derived feedstuffs and binds with minerals such as zinc and copper, leaving them undigested by the animal and excreted into the environment.
MEPs oppose EU Commission plans to authorise five GMOs
The European Parliament opposed the European Commission plans to authorise five GMO products, maize Bt11, 1507 and MON810 (seeds and products), and a glyphosate-resistant cotton.
Requirements of essential fatty acids for lactating sows
Dietary essential fatty acid supplementation in sow during lactation affects further reproductive performance.
Effect of natural betaine on estimates of semen quality in mature AI boars during summer heat stress
Betaine supplementation at 0.63% and 1.26% tended to increase sperm concentration in the ejaculates by 6% and 13%, respectively.
