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.

ManagementArticleWhat is the best age for weaning piglets? (1/3)
With this article we begin the publication of a series of three unpublished articles by José Barceló for pig333.com on the age at weaning. José gave us the articles a few days before his death. As a way of paying homage to him we have decided to publish them posthumously without any alterations.
Feed palatability and voluntary feed intake in pigs
Piglets face a very stressful process at weaning and feed intake becomes one of the most limiting issues.
The effect of weaner diet protein content and diet quality on the long-term performance of pigs to slaughter
High quality diets may preserve piglet intestinal health just after weaning. However, lower quality diets may be offered in piglets weaned up to 28 d
Preparing gruel
The use of pulped food incites consumption and allows a smoother transition from milk to feed.
Risk factors
On a conventional farm with no problems with Glässer’s disease, it is possible to isolate various strains of Haemophilus parasuis which colonise piglets while being in balance with the animal’s immunity without producing pathology.
Extra feed or lipid supplies 10 days prior to parturition and their consequences on farrowing and lactation performances
Extra lipid supplies before farrowing may improve piglet survival
Response of piglets weaned from sows fed diets supplemented with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) to an Escherichia coli K88+ oral challenge
The use of sow dietary CLA supplementation through late gestation and lactation may improve piglet immunity and health status after weaning
Effect of barley and oat cultivars with different carbohydrate compositions on the intestinal bacterial communities in weaned piglets
Cereal carbohydrate compositon depends on cereal cultivar and may affect gut microbiota in piglets
The effects of dietary chromium (III) picolinate on growth performance, blood measurements, and respiratory rate in pigs kept in high and low ambient temperature
Dietary chromium supplementation do not reduce the negative impact of the thermal stress
The use of animal protein hydrolisate may improve feed palatability of weanling diets
Feed preference at weaning was improved by the inclusion of 1% of animal protein hidrolisate
Effect of dietary fat or starch supply during gestation and/or lactation on the performance of sow, piglets' survival and on the performance of progeny after weaning
Piglet survival at farrowing and at weaning may be improved by sow dietary energy supply during gestation and lactation
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
Effects of Porcine Circovirus type 2 and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccination timing and starter diet source on growth performance of nursery pigs
Weanling diet composition and vaccinating time may affect piglet growth performance at weaning
The effect of heated mash on performance and feeding behaviour on newly weaned piglets
Dietary heating may enhance piglet performance by increasing feed consumption just after weaning
