Effect of split weaning on sow ovulatory responses to injection of gonadotrophins during lactation
More split-weaned than control sows had elevated serum progesterone 2 days post weaning (47.6% versus 9.5%).

Dose-dependent effects of dietary zinc oxide on bacterial in weaned pigs
Ileal bacterial community composition of weaned pigs is modified depending on the level of dietary ZnO.
Influence of dietary isoleucine:lysine ratio on the optimal tryptophan:lysine ratio for weanling pigs
Isoleucine:lysine ratio does not influence the response to increasing tryptophan:lysine ration in 5,9- to 10,9-kg pigs.
Nurse sows (II)
When using nurse sows (foster sows) whilst making some piglets "go forwards" before the expected time we end up weaning them one week before. This poses certain problems.
Poor weaning transition ADG in is not correlated with pathological or immunological markers of enteric disease during a PRRSV outbreak
Poor tADG in pigs is not correlated with pathogens or immunological markers of enteric disease during a PRRSV.
Strategic management of the replacement gilts for sustainable PRRS control
The desired result of the strategic management of replacement gilts at a company level is to minimize the economical losses potentially caused by PRRS.
Feeder Pigs on Zweber Farms
The feeder pigs have arrived on our farm. We raise about 60 pigs each year. When the pigs reach about 250 pounds we sell them as custom pork packages to local customers.
Yeast hydrolyzed protein on performance of weaned piglets
Yeast hydrolyzed protein improves weight gain and uniformity in weaned piglets.
The antimicrobial peptide cecropin AD on performance and intestinal health in weaned piglets challenged with Escherichia coli
Cecropin AD may enhance immune status and energy retention in piglets enhancing animal performance and intestinal health.
Citrus by-products to reduce Salmonella in weanling pigs
Citrus by-products does not reduce the negative effect of Salmonella in weanling pigs.
The good taste of pigs (part IV): bitter
Bitterness leaves an unpleasant feeling linked to a decrease in feed consumption. On the other hand, modulating feed intake with bitter compounds might be an interesting tool to limit excessive voracity of pigs and sows at certain stages.
Analysis of the health in the weaners and fattening stages; a different approach (II)
The losses due to diarrhoea problems appear concentrated, basically, during the first week in the weaners stage, whilst in the farms that have not suffered diarrhoea problems, the mortality is distibuted more evenly.
Supplementing sows with a zootechnical feed additive decreases fecal shedding of bacteria and improves calostral immunoglobulin concentrations and litter performance
The use of a zootechnical feed additive during gestation may reduce microbial pathogens in feces and improve IGA concentration in calostrum.
Perinatal flavour learning and adaptation to being weaned: all pigs needs is smell
Perinatal flavour learning may reduce piglets’ stress from birth onwards.
Quinoa hull meal affects on piglet performance and intestinal epithelial physiology
Saponin-enriched diets may affect intestinal permeability but this not alter piglet performance.
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.
