In response to heat waves, a study by the Brittany Chamber of Agriculture compares two feeding strategies for finishing pigs: scheduling meals during the coolest hours of the day or implementing temporary rationing followed by overfeeding.

Historically, the focus surrounding weaned piglets has been on preventing and controlling post-weaning diarrhea. However, the physiological processes that occur in the first few days after weaning remain poorly understood, despite being essential for gut health. Recent research suggests that immediate post-weaning feeding plays a crucial role in the animal's subsequent development and growth.
Animals with less variation in daily intake showed lower mortality, greater daily gain, and fewer medication treatments.
The 28th International Pig Veterinary Society (IPVS) Congress, held from 16–19 June 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, concluded successfully, bringing together the global swine community for one of the largest scientific gatherings ever organized in the field of pig health and production.
333 was very pleased to have had the opportunity to be present at The Next Era of Animal Production in Europe, held in Córdoba from 24 to 26 June 2026.
Individual precision feeding (IPF) seeks to provide each animal with the exact amount of nutrients required daily.
Diagnostic tools should be implemented not only reactively during outbreaks, but also proactively, allowing for early detection of infectious agents to anticipate potential problems.
Geopolitical uncertainty, the potential impact of Super El Niño and grain market volatility are keeping forward purchases on hold in a market that still remains within a not overly expensive range.
Medium-chain fatty acids can help promote early growth in post-weaning piglets due to their high energy content, antibacterial properties, and ability to support metabolism in immature animals.
The administration of a hepatoprotective product at peripartum reduced sow mortality by 73%.
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) play a key role in intestinal health in pigs. In addition to providing readily available energy, they contribute to microbiota modulation, pathogen reduction, and improved digestibility and nutrient absorption, specially in piglets during the post-weaning period.
Among the elements that are often overlooked is the microbiota, a true "invisible organ" that plays a key role in the health, immunity, and productivity of pigs. Understanding its dynamics and how it becomes imbalanced is increasingly essential for the success of health and nutrition programs.
The speed at which events have unfolded makes one want to get off this rollercoaster ride of a year, but the world doesn’t stop.

Individual precision feeding facilitates the use of alternative feedstuffs, such as forage, agro-industrial by-products, and others, by allowing them to be provided according to each animal's consumption and growth.
The withdrawal of ZnO in the EU and the UK, and the pressure to reduce the use of antibiotics, has accelerated the shift to implement alternatives to protect postweaning gut health.
In addition to its role in protein synthesis, tryptophan contributes to the production of serotonin, a molecule that influences appetite and immune system regulation, and niacin production.
It seems the new feeders aren't to everyone's liking...
