Crude protein in piglet diets
To maximize piglet growth, it is recommended that levels of crude protein be at 20-23% in pre-starters and 18-20% in starters. However, part of that crude protein will not be digested at the end of the ileum, and it will enter the large intestine together with the endogenous waste.
European Union - Feed ban: certain tolerance level of processed animal proteins could be introduced
The success of the European Union's efforts in combating Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs), such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle or scrapie in sheep and goats, allows the EU to contemplate changes in some of its rules.
Inflammation-associated responses in piglets induced with post-weaning colibacillosis are influenced by dietary protein level
Forty piglets (average body weight = 5.32 kg) were used to investigate the effect of dietary crude protein (CP) content on immunological responses following a challenge with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88.
Nutritional value of aquatic ferns (Azolla filiculoides Lam. and Salvinia molesta Mitchell) in pigs
Although having a suitable mineral and AA content for swine nutrition, the use of aquatic plants in pig diets is limited by their low energy and crude protein digestibility.
Farm practices survey and modelling to estimate monthly NH3 emissions from swine production in 12 Ecoregions of Canada
This paper describes a new model to estimate NH3 emissions from the swine sector, relying heavily on a recent survey of swine producers to determine the present N and manure management practices.
Effect of a dietary sulfur amino acid deficiency on the amino acid composition of body proteins in piglets
Body amino acid composition is affected by dietary amino acid supplementation.
Selenoprotein gene expression in thyroid and pituitary of young pigs is not affected by dietary selenium deficiency or excess
Selenoprotein gene expression may not be a useful tool to assess body selenium status in pigs
Dietary protein in piglet diets
In order to apply the most suitable feeding regime to newly weaned pigs it is important to balance the trade off between the detrimental effect on performance of feeding levels of protein that are too low to allow maximal growth and those which increase the risk of post weaning diarrhoea.
Decreasing dietary particle size of lupins increases apparent ileal amino acid digestibility and alters fermentation characteristics in the gastrointestinal tract of pigs
Particle size after grinding may be a critic factor for lupin AA digestibility in growing pigs
Maternal Nutrition and Foetal Development
Low maternal feed levels cause a reduction in muscle fibre numbers, whereas enhanced maternal nutrition resulted in a higher number of muscle fibres in specific muscles.
Amino acid digestibility of distillers dried grains with solubles produced from sorghum, a sorghum-corn blend, and corn fed to growing pigs
Distillers dried grains from sorghum or sorghum-corn blend showed the same SID for CP and Lys but lower for the rest of AA than those obtained from corn
Feeding excess crude protein: effects on growth performance and carcass traits of finishing pigs
Dietary crude protein in finishing diets may be reduced until 12% without affecting pig performance and carcass yield
Effect of graded levels of iron, zinc, and copper supplementation in diets with low phytate or normal barley on growth performance, bone characteristics, hematocrit volume, and zinc and copper balance of young swine
Fe and Zn supplementation of pig diets may stimulate growth performance in young animals
Use of Oligosaccharides in Swine Nutrition
Our research model has been a short chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) fed to swine. This compound was selected because it was identified in human and swine milk, was shown to have health benefits in human infants and patients recovering from intestinal anastomosis. The health benefit was believed to occur via the trophic effect of scFOS on the Bifidobacteria population.
Responses of pigs to Aspergillus niger phytase supplementation of low-protein or high-phytin diets
The use of an exogenous microbial phytase in growing diets may improve P digestibility and bioavailability
