Flavor in diets: Effect on sow feed intake, lactation performance, and subsequently weaned pig nursery performance
Feed flavor supplementation may enhance sow feed intake and improve piglet performance in hot seasons but not in winter conditions.
Low-protein diets supplemented with sodium dichloroacetate and glucose: the effect on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of growing-finishing pigs
Low-protein diets supplemented with sodium dichloroacetate and glucose may improve muscle protein deposition in growing-finishing pigs.
The effect of dietary 25-hydroxycholecalciferol on gut microbiota modulation, growth, meat quality and antioxidant status of growing-finishing pigs
Dietary 25-hydroxycholecalciferol supplementation may improve carcass and bone quality in growing-finishing pigs.
Evaluation of multi-carbohydrase and phytase complex dietary addition on nutrient digestibility, growth performance, and bone mineralization in growing-finishing pigs
Multi-enzymes supplementation may improve nutrient digestibility, bone mineralization, and growth performance in fattening pigs.
The effects of glycine supplementation on mucosal immunity and the intestinal microbial composition in weaned piglets
Glycine supplementation improves the intestinal immunological barrier function and the microbial composition in weanling piglets.
Reproductive performance of gilts and weaned sows grouped at different days after insemination
Group housing gestating sows 2 days after breeding compromised litter size; however, mixing gilts on days 1 to 4 after breeding did not impair reproductive performance.
Risk factors differ for viable and low viable crushed piglets in free farrowing pens
Results show the importance of differentiating between low viable and viable crushed piglets for the interpretation of risk factors for crushing losses.
Lactobacillus lactis supplementation and its impact on growing-finishing pigs
Lactobacillus lactis supplementation in growing-finishing diets enhance pig’s performance and meat quality.
Supplementing early weaned piglets with an essential oil blend: the effect on growth performance, intestinal health, and microbiota
A combination of carvacrol, thymol, and cinnamaldehyde in weanling diets may improve growth performance, intestinal health, and gut microbiota in piglets.
Short- and long-term effects of birth weight and neonatal care in pigs
Neonatal care treatment may be useful to reduce mortality in low birth weight piglets and could affect carcass fatness and meat quality.
Effect of sow body weight at first service on body status and performance
Achieving optimal body weight at first service is essential for maximizing the sow’s lifetime performance.
Effect of phase feeding, space allowance and mixing on productive performance of grower-finisher pigs
Mixing and reducing SID Lys:NE ratio had a more marked impact on performance than reducing space allowance.
Intrauterine growth-restricted piglets can catch up on growth with pGLP-2 microspheres
Injection of pGLP-2 microspheres can be a therapeutic strategy for compensatory growth in intrauterine growth restricted piglets with low birthweights.
How split-suckling 0, 1, or 3 days affects piglet performance and colostrum intake
Piglet performances were not improved nor impaired when split-suckling was applied during the first day of life. However growth was impaired when litters were intensively split-suckled during first three days of life.
Gallic acid supplementation on growth performance, diarrhea, intestinal morphology and immune response in weaned piglets
Dietary supplementation with gallic acid might reduce the incidence of post-weaning diarrhea.
