Sulfur concentration in diets containing DDGS: effects on feed preference and performance of pigs
Inclusion of DDGS in diets decreases the feed preference and negatively affects the growth performance of pigs.

Selection for feed efficiency in growing pig
The objective of our study was to evaluate RFI as a criterion of selection to improve feed conversion ratio (FCR).
Amino acid digestibility in heated soybean meal fed to growing pigs
Autoclaving but not oven drying reduces the concentration and digestibility of AA in soybean meal.
Keratinase affects performance and intestinal morphology and ecology of piglets fed diets with different levels of crude protein
Keratinase supplementation has a positive effect on the performance of weanling piglets fed corn-soybean diets.
Growth performance, nitrogen, and phosphorus excretion of pigs fed with incremental levels of DDGS
Maize DDGS may present a viable option to substitute a premium feed ingredient in growing–finishing pig diets.
Varying creep feed duration affects pre-weaning and post-weaning performance and behavior of piglet and sow
Creep feed initiated from day 5 and 10 reduce diarrhea scores in piglets and the estrus interval in sows.
Influence of particle size and multi-enzyme supplementation of fibrous diets on weaning and growing pigs
A reduction in particle size and multi-enzyme supplementation are useful strategies in the post-weaning period, but not in the growing period.
Effects of pig genotype on nutrient digestibility, relative organ weight and small intestine structure
The strategy of this study was to test the effects of pig genotype and crude protein (CP) supply on performance, digestive utilization of nutrients, relative organ weight and morphometric analysis of the small intestine.
Dietary lysine and energy levels affect on growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients in weanling pigs
Increasing dietary lysine and energy levels improves growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients.
CLA during last week of gestation and lactation alters colostrum and milk fat composition and performance of reproductive sows
CLA administration to sows reduces backfat thickness loss during the lactation period and lets to higher piglet weight at weaning.
Folic acid affects performance of suckling piglets and sows during lactation
Supplementation with folic acid in the diets of lactating sows increases milk production, improves milk quality and the performance of piglets.
Effects of DDGS and enzyme premix supplements on growth performance, carcass characteristics and meat quality parameters in finishing pigs
DDGS may be used in feeds for finishing pig as a replacement of corn and soybean meal without affecting their carcass characteristics and meat quality.
Lysine intake during late gestation on reproductive performance, colostrum composition, blood metabolites and hormones of multiparous sows
Higher lysine levels than those recommended by the NRC improve reproductive performance for multiparous gestating sows.
Impact of acetic acid concentration of fermented liquid feed on growth performance of piglets
High levels of acetic acid in fermented liquid feed can impair palatability of piglets.
Dietary crude protein and phytase-xylanase supplementation of wheat grain based diets affect energy metabolism and enteric methane in growing finishing pigs
A combination of dietary crude protein and P reduction with added phytase is the key to optimize pig production efficiency, while minimizing their environmental impacts.
Breeding replacement gilts for organic pig herds
In this study, breeding structures and commercial sow lines were evaluated by economic and genetic simulation studies for their suitability to provide the Dutch organic pig sector with replacement gilts.
