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.

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.

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.

Body amino acid composition is affected by dietary amino acid supplementation.

Selenoprotein gene expression may not be a useful tool to assess body selenium status in pigs

Particle size after grinding may be a critic factor for lupin AA digestibility in 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

Dietary crude protein in finishing diets may be reduced until 12% without affecting pig performance and carcass yield

Fe and Zn supplementation of pig diets may stimulate growth performance in young animals

The use of an exogenous microbial phytase in growing diets may improve P digestibility and bioavailability

Pelleted canola meal may be a suitable protein source for piglet diets

The use of raw potato starch in weanling diets may reduce the negative effects of postweaning diarrhoea

Pea protein concentrate and fullfat soya bean have a negative impact on piglet performance and ileal digestibility compared to regular SBM

The use of rice protein concentrate in weanling diets may reduce feed costs and improve growth performance in piglets

Increasing weaning age and decreasing dietary protein level may help to minimise the effects of post-weaning colibacillocis on performance
