Effects of protein intakes of pregnant gilts on carcass quality and skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in fattening pigs
Maternal low protein diet impairs prenatal myofiber formation, reducing the potential of postnatal lean growth.

Apparent and standardized ileal digestibilities of AA for pigs fed diets at varying crude protein levels
The dietary protein content also affects the standardized ileal digestibility of most amino acids.
Modification of selected bacteria and markers of protein fermentation in pigs upon consumption of chitosan is accompanied by heightened manure odor emissions
Lactic-acid bacteria can modulate manure odor emissions, regardless of fermentable protein availability.
Viscosity and fermentability of dietary fibre affect nutrient digestibility and digesta characteristics in grower pigs
High-viscous, low-fermentable dietary fibre increases the proportion of a diet that is digested in the small intestine.
Reducing the cost of pig feed (I)
We should focus on actions that are in our hands to try to improve the profitability of our farms.
Effects of pig genotype on nutrient digestibility, relative organ weight and small intestine structure
The strategy of this study was to test the effects of pig genotype and crude protein (CP) supply on performance, digestive utilization of nutrients, relative organ weight and morphometric analysis of the small intestine.
Dietary protein/carbohydrate ratio affects on fat deposition and gene expression of finishing pigs
An increase in intramuscular fat in pigs fed low protein diets is related to tissue-specific activation of gene expression.
Feed preference in pigs: Effect of selected protein, fat, and fiber sources at different inclusion rates
The preference for the different feed ingredients should be taken into account during diet formulation as well as nutrient composition and ingredients cost.
Dietary PC content of barley grain based, but not by corn based, diets affects methane produced by finisher pigs
The objective was to study effects of decreasing CP concentration on CH4 production, C retention efficiency and performance by finisher pigs.
France - Use of PAP in feed: ANSES considers that the conditions have not been fully satisfied
In an opinion and a report published last week ANSES notes the progress made in organisation of the industries. It nevertheless considers that the conditions for safe use of processed animal proteins have not, to date, been fully satisfied.
Effects of two protein and fibre sources on SCFA concentration in pig large intestine
Importance of a proper balance between carbohydrates and nitrogen to obtain an optimal SCFA profile in large intestine.
Limited and excess dietary protein during gestation affects growth and compositional traits in gilts and impairs offspring fetal growth
Gestation diets containing protein at 50 and 250% of recommendations led to marked changes in protein and fat metabolism in gilts resulting in fetal growth retardation of 15%.
New test to improve feed for pig industry
Scientists at the Department of Agriculture and Food in Western Australia are close to developing a new rapid computerised screening tool for pork producers to measure protein quality in imported soybean meal.
Digestibility and feed value of high-protein ingredients for organically reared piglets
From 2012, feeds for organically farmed pigs must consist of 100% organic ingredients. Pea protein concentrate and rapeseed protein concentrate may be attractive high-protein ingredients for piglet feeds. This is the conclusion from research by Wageningen UR Livestock Research into the digestibility and nutritional value of a number of high-protein ingredients for organically farmed weaned piglets.
Consequences of reduced protein supply from weaning to slaughter
The reduction of protein levels from weaning till slaughter, in keeping with the current French recommendations to reduce pollution (CORPEN, 2003), was evaluated in a feeding trial.
Influence of dietary net energy content on performance of growing pigs fed low crude protein diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids
Objective: To investigate the effects of dietary net energy (NE) content on the performance of growing pigs fed low-protein diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids.
