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
Ileal digestibility of protein and amino acids from canola meal in weaned piglets and growing pigs
Pelleted canola meal may be a suitable protein source for piglet diets
Alternatives to fish meal for piglets
Fish meal has always been the main source and the preferred choice of nutritionists for quality protein, above all in the formulation of feed for the youngest ages.
Raw potato starch in weaned pig diets and its influence on postweaning scouts and the molecular microbial ecology of the digestive tract
The use of raw potato starch in weanling diets may reduce the negative effects of postweaning diarrhoea
Feeding of lactating sows
The sow’s intake is affected by the interaction of different factors, not just nutritional but also those connected with the animal, handling or system of production.
Pea protein as a substitute of soya bean protein in diets for young pigs: effects on productivity and digestive traits
Pea protein concentrate and fullfat soya bean have a negative impact on piglet performance and ileal digestibility compared to regular SBM
Energy requirements of growing pigs: Practical implications
Practical diet formulation takes into account more than the response of the pig to increasing dietary energy. Available feed ingredients, feed processing capability, and economic value of average daily gain also have an impact on determining the most economical dietary energy level.
PROMOTE PR 70 – Replacement for animal plasma
EW Nutrition is pleased to announce the release of PROMOTE PR70, a complete replacement for animal plasma for all types of piglet diets.
The finance crisis: Grain prices will rise as production falls off
Experts expect price increases in second half of 2009 with wheat in the Paris exchange rising to 200 €/t. Recommendations include forward selling when prices high.
Rice protein concentrate partially replaces dried whey in the diet for early-weaned piglets and improves their growth performance
The use of rice protein concentrate in weanling diets may reduce feed costs and improve growth performance in piglets
Effects of dietary protein supply, weaning age and experimental enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli infection on newly weaned pigs: performance
Increasing weaning age and decreasing dietary protein level may help to minimise the effects of post-weaning colibacillocis on performance
