Influence of rearing system, diet and gender on performance, carcass traits and meat quality of white pigs
Feeding growing pigs with corn grain silage may reduce lean and ham percentage.

n-3 fatty acid supplementation in sows
Feeding n-3 fatty acids to gilts may improve litter growth, but does not affect subsequent reproductive performance.
Piglet birth weight and litter uniformity: Effects of weaning-to-pregnancy interval and body condition changes in sows of different parities and crossbred lines
Litter uniformity is compromised by severe sow body condition loss during lactation and improved in sows with a prolonged WPI. These effects are likely related with (insufficient) restoration of follicle development.
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
Effects of dietary supplementation with two potassium formate sources on performance of 8- to 22-kg pigs
The supplementation of 1.56% potassium formate or 1.20% potassium diformate improved performance of weaned pigs.
Alpha-lipoic acid on antioxidative ability and performance of sows and nursing piglets
Dietary alpha-lipoic acid supplementation in sows enhances the antioxidant activity and performance of mothers and their offspring.
The use of crystalline amino acids in lactating sow diets
Corn/soybean meal lactation diets can contain up to 0.40% L–lysine-HCl with no detrimental effect on reproductive 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.
Effects of feeding rapeseed meal during gestation and lactation on the performance of hyperprolific sows and their litters
10% RM to hyper prolific sows over three parities was safe and did not affect sow longevity, reproductive or litter performance.
Influence of dietary isoleucine:lysine ratio on the optimal tryptophan:lysine ratio for weanling pigs
Isoleucine:lysine ratio does not influence the response to increasing tryptophan:lysine ration in 5,9- to 10,9-kg pigs.
Lysine to metabolizable energy ratio affects growth performance, blood metabolites and hormones of lactating sows
Providing 3.05 g/Mcal ratio of SID Lys:ME in lactating sows, litter weight gain could be maximized.
Antimicrobial peptide-A3 on productive parameters and intestinal health in weanling pigs
The antimicrobial peptide-A3 can be used as a potential alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in weanling pigs.
Effect of meal frequency on performance and behaviour of group‐housed gestating sows
Sows had received their daily ration in one or two meals. Reproductive performance during gestation and the following lactation was measured.
Effects of an increased feeding level during second gestation in sows
Increasing the feeding level during gestation improves weight gain of the sow and diminishes blood’s NEFA concentration, but does not affect the embryo or the placenta.
Poor weaning transition ADG in is not correlated with pathological or immunological markers of enteric disease during a PRRSV outbreak
Poor tADG in pigs is not correlated with pathogens or immunological markers of enteric disease during a PRRSV.
