Requirement of standardized ileal digestible valine to lysine ratio for 8- to 14-kg pigs
In conclusion, 0.70 SID Val : Lys is suggested as the Val requirement for 8 to 14 kg individually housed pigs.
Low dietary protein decreases ETEC proliferation and attachment in the intestinal mucosa
Low-protein diets with balances amino acid profile decrease ETEC colonization in jejunal mucosa.
Soybean meal can be partly replaced by field pea in weanling diets
Increasing inclusion of field pea reduces dietary crude protein digestibility but without negative impact on performance.
Alternatives to traditional protein sources
The sharp increase in demand for meat by the population expected in the world in the coming years, means that there is an active search for alternatives, both from a social and an environmental point of view.
Mussel meal as a protein source for growing pigs
Mussel meal can be used as protein sources in pig diets maintaining performance and meat quality.
Dietary crude protein reduction and AA supplementation affects tissue fatty acid composition in pigs
Fatty acid composition of pork lean and fat may be altered by reducing dietary CP and supplementing AA.
European Union: protection measures for the introduction of spray dried blood and blood plasma of porcine origin
The provisional safeguard measures should apply from the day following the publication of this Regulation and last for a period of 12 months.
Amino acid digestibility of microbial protein for growing pigs
Microbial protein with high digestible lysine content should be taken into account as a new protein source for swine nutrition.
The ideal ratio of SID threonine:lysine for growing pigs fed low crude protein diets
The optimum SID Thr:Lys to optimize ADG and FCR in growing pigs fed low CP protein diets is around 0.70.
Protein intake but not feed intake affects dietary energy for finishing pigs
The energy values for dietary protein have to be considered for net energy prediction in fattening pigs.
The protein-to-energy ratio is a main driver of growth performance in piglets
Independently of the nature of the nutrient promoting imbalance, dietary protein-to-energy ratio may determine post-weaning piglet performance
Spray-dried animal plasma on weanling pigs administered a PCV2 and M. hyopneumoniae vaccine strategy
Early administration of spray-dried animal plasma may stimulate feed intake in weanling pigs.
Effects of dietary spray-dried egg on growth performance and health of weaned pigs
The addition of spray-dried egg in piglet’s diet may improve improving health and growth rate.
New European protein strategy
The undersupply of protein feed and the high import demand for it are long-standing issues in the EU where the rate of self-sufficiency amounts only to about 33%.
Nutrition and intramuscular fat: Effect of the levels of protein, lysine and other amino acids
The decrease in the level of protein seems to be a promising strategy to increase the intramuscular fat, as long as the lysine level is adapted to the to the kind of pig used.
