Resveratrol and essential oils in challenged piglets
Supplementing resveratrol to weaned piglets could have beneficial effects on growth performance, immune function and the microbial ecosystem.

A simple novel measure of passive transfer of maternal immunoglobulin is predictive of preweaning mortality in piglets
The Ig immunocrit method is a simple and useful in assessing the initiation of colostrum and the nursing ability of sows, and the effect of these events on preweaning piglet mortality.
Fermented garlic powder in weanling pigs
The use of 0.5 g/Kg of fermented garlic powder in the diet may improve ADG and ADFI in weanling pigs.
Differences in muscle characteristics of piglets related to the sow parity
The results of this study indicate that parity influences the pre-natal development of piglets.
Comparison of immune and health markers in intact and neonatally castrated male pigs
In this study, intact and neonatally surgically castrated male pigs were compared along puberty for some immune parameters and hormone receptor expression in lymphoid organs.
Microbiological, pathological and histological findings in four Danish pig herds affected by a new neonatal diarrhoea syndrome
The results of the study supported the hypothesis that a new neonatal porcine diarrhoea was present in the investigated herds.
Intrauterine growth restricted piglets defined by their head shape ingest insufficient amounts of colostrum
The present study showed that the physiology of piglets in the colostrum period was affected by IUGR status at birth, and their intermediary metabolism was altered due to different colostrum intakes.
Prenatal flavour exposure through maternal diets influences flavour preference in piglets before and after weaning
Prenatal flavour exposure decrease neophobia for specific flavours.
Effects of day of farrowing induction and spontaneous versus induced farrowing on sow and suckling piglet performance
Under the conditions of this study, more piglets are born during unsupervised hours when sows are induced on day 116 than when sows are induced on day 113.
Effect of restricted movement of the piglets (cross fostering) on the weight at weaning in intensive pig production farm
The restriction movement showed a positive effect in the reduction in mortality.
Zinc oxide supported on zeolite affects weaned pigs
Zeolite-ZnO could be a suitable substitute for pharmacological addition of ZnO in weanling pigs.
Insulin-stimulating diets during the weaning-to-estrus interval in high-prolific multiparous sows
Insulin-stimulating diets did not improve prolificity and piglet’s quality.
Chitoligosaccharide with different molecular weight on performance, selected microbial populations and nutrient digestibility in the weaned pig
Chitooligosaccharide supplementation of different molecular weight could be an alternative to antibiotics.
Suckling effects in sows: importance for mammary development and productivity
Suckling during 12 to 14 h postpartum is insufficient to maintain lactation and the process of involution that occurs in early lactation is reversible within 1 day.
L-carnitine supplementation to suckling piglets affects carcass and meat quality at market age
L-carnitine supplementation does not directly increase the number of muscular fibres in weanling piglets with low body weight.
Natural vitamin E (d-α-tocopherol) supplementation in drinking water prevents oxidative stress in weaned piglets
Those piglets supplemented with natural α-tocopherol in drinking water and born from sows supplemented with the same form of vitamin E (SS-SP) had the highest serum α-tocopherol concentration at five days post-weaning.
