Dietary supplementation with L-Arginine partially counteracts serum metabonome induced by weaning stress in piglets
Arginine has a key role in metabolism regulation in weanling pigs.

Clinical case: Post-weaning diarrhoea outbreaks in Eastern Europe
The pig farm management team in charge of the post-weaned piglet nursery areas on these wean-to-finish sites has found serious problems with diarrhoea in recent batches of piglets arriving from the breeding farms.
Dietary long-chain n-3 PUFA, gut microbiota and fat mass in early postnatal piglet development
n-3 LCPUFA can have a detrimental impact on the cecum Bacteroidetes community in piglets
Blood variables and body weight gain on the first day of life in crossbred pigs and importance for survival
Several blood variables recorded at birth and on d 1 and BW gain on d 1 were highly associated with survival at weaning.
Influence of feed complexity on productive performance and nutrient digestibility of weanling pigs
Healthy weanling pigs do not always need an excess of highly digestible ingredients in the diet.
Energy intake and daily gain of weaned piglets fed milk after weaning
The supply of milk during the first six days after weaning did increase the energy intake and daily gain of piglets in the first week after weaning and from weaning to day 35 but it did not reduce the number of piglets with clinical signs of Streptococcus suis.
Dietary clays alleviate diarrhea of weaned pigs
Clay products may help to prevent the negative impact of diarrhea in weanling piglets.
Varying creep feed duration affects pre-weaning and post-weaning performance and behavior of piglet and sow
Creep feed initiated from day 5 and 10 reduce diarrhea scores in piglets and the estrus interval in sows.
Influence of particle size and multi-enzyme supplementation of fibrous diets on weaning and growing pigs
A reduction in particle size and multi-enzyme supplementation are useful strategies in the post-weaning period, but not in the growing period.
Dietary lysine and energy levels affect on growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients in weanling pigs
Increasing dietary lysine and energy levels improves growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients.
Glutamine supplementation improves intestinal barrier function in a weaned piglet model of Escherichia coli infection
Glutamine supplementation may be useful in reducing the severity of weaning-related gastrointestinal infections.
Management of farrowing objectives to achieve optimal piglet weight at weaning (II): batches every two weeks
The dispersion of matings described in the previous article is even more drastic on farms operating in bands over one week.
Management of farrowing objectives to achieve optimal piglet weight at weaning (I): weekly batches
Wouldn’t it be great if all the sows on a farm (weaned sows, gilts, repeat breeders…) could be mated on the same day?! And if we were able to choose, on Mondays?
Evaluation of the nutritional value of glycerol for nursery pigs
Glycerol can be added in nursery diets up to 10%, while improving pig performance.
Learning how to eat like a pig: Facilitating vertical information transfer to reduce weaning problems in piglets
The aim of this thesis was to explore whether providing piglets with more opportunities to learn from their mother about what, how and where to eat increases food intake before and after weaning and consequently can reduce health and welfare problems after weaning.
