A look back on the hottest topics of the year from Pig333.
Reducing dietary protein at high temperatures and its impact on growth and carcass quality of finishing pigs
A reduction of dietary crude protein in finishing pigs during summer conditions does not affect performance and carcass quality.
Effects of dietary protein levels on production performance, meat quality and flavor of fattening pigs
Reducing dietary crude protein in a balanced diet with synthetic amino acids in finishing pigs can improve nitrogen utilization, meat quality and flavor.
Feeding simple diets with protein suited to nursery pigs
Choosing the right protein sources for (pre-) starter feed is crucial to support gut health, reducing reliance on feed additives.
Diet and microbiota-gut-brain axis in relation to tail biting in pigs
While tail biting is multifactorial, an imbalance in the microbiota-gut-brain axis, modulated via the diet, should be considered as a pathway for the development of tail biting.
