Nutritional value of high-fat oats fed to weaned pigs
High-fat oats may be a suitable feed ingredient for weanling diets.

L-arginine supplementation of milk liquid or dry diets fed to pigs after weaning has a positive effect on production in the first three weeks after weaning at 21 days of age
Liquid feeding piglets after waning with L-arginine supplemented milk have a positive impact on piglet performance.
Early weaning reduces small intestinal alkaline phosphatase expression in pigs
Early weaning decreased small intestinal IAP Vcap, IAP catalytic affinity, and IAP gene expression, and this may in part contribute to the susceptibility of early-weaned piglets to increased occurrence of enteric diseases and growth-check.
The weaned piglet
The new test on animal welfare in swine herds will demonstrate your knowledge on the welfare of weaned piglets.
Farrowing batches: keeping the breeding groups full
In the last chapter we looked at the importance of achieving homogenous farrowing batches (age distribution + nº sows). In this chapter we will begin to see how to achieve this.
Conditions for breeding during weaning
The new test in the welfare section is dedicated to conditions during weaning.
Hormone management (III)
When external administration of the hormonal product is stopped, the levels of progesterone fall.
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.
Feed management after weaning
Without a doubt weaning is the most stressful process suffered by a pig, or at least it is up until that moment in its life.
The effect of dietary fatty acid level on the fatty acid composition of the adipose and lean tissues of immunocastrated male pigs
A low dietary supply of PUFA and MUFA is enough to increase the degree of unsaturation of adipose tissue and intramuscular fat lipids in immunocastrated pigs
Immunity and serotype
The decrease in the contact time between the mother and her piglets, due to the common practice of early weaning, has led to the appearance of some piglets that are not completely colonised or that have not acquired a sufficient level of maternal antibodies. On mixing with other litters, these piglets are faced with distinct strains while lacking the necessary antibodies against the disease.
What is the best age for weaning piglets? (3/3)
In order to carry out this economic analysis we have kept in mind the variables between the two types of weaning in the different phases: site 1 (reproductive sows), site 2 (weaning), and site 3 (fattening).
Oral administration recombinant porcine epidermal growth factor enhances the jejunal digestive enzyme genes expression and activity of early-weaned piglets
Epidermal growth factor supplementation of piglet diets may stimulate intestinal piglet development and maturation at weaning
Why tryptophan is an important amino acid for piglet nutrition
The consequences of the inflammatory and immune responses on tryptophan metabolism could impair the availability of tryptophan for body protein accretion, growth and all other metabolic processes involving this amino acid.
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
Clinical and pathologic diagnosis
Haemophilus parasuis is present in all swine producing countries and its prevalence is close to 100% on conventional farms. However, only a percentage of these farms present pathologies associated to the infection.
