Infection with I suis during the suckling period can have an impact on postweaning performance. Thus, calculations of the economic impact of coccidiosis need to include the effect of slower growth rates in the first few weeks after weaning, as well as a reduction in suckling pig performance.

8% crude glycerol can be added to the diet and used as an effective alternative energy source to partially replace corn.

The aim of the present study was to further elucidate the eff ect the route of Fe supplementation may have on infectious diseases in piglets, and the relationship between Hb levels during suckling and growth from birth to slaughter.

Diet and ingredient switching does not affect pig performance during the finishing period.

The use of mycotoxins absorbents in sever vomitoxin contaminated diets may reduce the negative impact of vomitoxin on piglet performance.

Feeding low CP, AA supplemented diets can help to improve poor growth performance and enteric disorders of the weaned pigs.

Dietary supplementation of n-3 fatty acids during lactation improved the growth of nursing piglets.

The automatic feed blending system may help to meet nutrient requirements reducing feeding cost during the fattening period.

The reduction of protein levels from weaning till slaughter, in keeping with the current French recommendations to reduce pollution (CORPEN, 2003), was evaluated in a feeding trial.

The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of increasing levels of dietary soybean meal concentrate and fish meal on the performance of weanling pigs.

Scientific investigations of production losses in pigs due to roundworms are rarely conducted in commercial farms, despite the fact that this information is needed to decide whether anthelmintic treatment is cost-effective or not. Therefore, the aim of our study was to compare performance in fattening pigs treated or not treated for Ascaris suum infections.

The use of mat-feeding and swinging waterers may improve piglet performance.

The objectives of this study were to compare the impact of three control strategies of temperature set point on grower‐finisher pigs and their growth performance, ammonia emissions, and heating energy consumption under Québec conditions.

Feed waste is independent of the through space, but it is seriously affected by feeder adjustment.

Objective: To investigate the effects of dietary net energy (NE) content on the performance of growing pigs fed low-protein diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids.

Lactobacillus plantarum, microencapsulated organic acids or fermented soybean meal may be taken into account as antimicrobial alternatives for piglet diets.
