The aim of this thesis was to explore whether providing piglets with more opportunities to learn from their mother about what, how and where to eat increases food intake before and after weaning and consequently can reduce health and welfare problems after weaning.

Consumption of diets containing seaweed-derived extracts does not diminish faecal shedding of Salmonella in post-weaned piglets.

Diets of sows did not have major impact on glycogen pools or on mobilization of glycogen by piglets.

Chicory and ribwort can be included in diets as a fiber source, without negative effects on piglets’ performance.

Offspring of sows provided 25-hydroxycholecalciferol obtained a markedly improved vitamin D status.

Maternal seaweed extract and fish oil supplementation from day 109 of gestation until weaning stimulates growth performance and starter feed intake in weaning pigs.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of cross-fostering on transfer of maternal Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae-specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity (CMI) from gilts to piglets.

Administration of flavor could increase creep feed intake pre-weaning and piglet average daily gain post-weaning.

Sows and piglets diets supplemented with probiotics are effective in maintaining animal performance and control of diarrhea during the nursery phase.

Partial enteral feeding increases superior mesenteric artery blood flow in the neonatal pig compared with total parenteral nutrition.

The concentration of fatty acids in subcutaneous fat and liver tissues of piglets 35 d after weaning is largely dependent on the CLA content of piglet diet rather than CLA enrichment of sow diet.

Metabolite combinations produced by L. plantarum strains are potential alternatives to antibiotics that could be used as growth promoter in postweaning piglets.

Providing the piglets with drinking water and having mechanically assisted ventilation (fans) in the vehicle during the journey significantly reduced the number of deaths, as did fasting the piglets before transport.

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.

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.

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