Nigella sativa supplementation in weanling diets improves feed efficiency and reduces E.coli populations in piglets.
The effect of different dietary n-6:n-3 PUFA ratios in finishing pigs performance and pork quality
A dietary n-6:n-3 ratio of 5:1 for the finishing period can improve the nutritional value of pork.
Dried citrus pulp and fermented medicinal plants as feed additives in growing–finishing pigs
Fermented medicinal plants may improve growth performance and carcass yield in growing-finishing pigs.
Supplementation of C. butyricum and B. licheniformis in weanling piglets
Dietary supplementation of C. butyricum might be a suitable alternative to antibiotics and ZnO for weanling pigs.

Combining the dietary inclusion of 25(OH)D3 and phytase on pig performance and pork quality
Supplementing finisher diets with phytase and 25(OH)D3 pig performance and meat quality.
Effect of flaxseed oil, poultry fat and Vit E in growth performance and pork characteristics
Lipid blend supplementation (flaxseed oil + poultry fat) in finishing diets may increase intramuscular fat content of pork.
Comparison of low doses of coated ZnO with pharmacological level of ZnO in weaned pigs
Coated ZnO may be a good alternative to start reducing common dietary pharmacological inclusion levels of ZnO.
Dietary CLA during late gestation on composition of primiparous sows’ colostrum
Sow dietary CLA supplementation may be transferred in colostrum enhancing piglets’ immunity leading to lower mortality rates.
Feeding mulberry leaves to growing-finishing pigs
Mulberry leaves supplementation can improve meat quality although affects growth performance in growing-finishing pigs.
Dietary supplement of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 in weaned piglets
High doses of 25(OH)D3 may improve immune functions and the antioxidant capacity in weaned pigs.
Data sheets: raw materials and additives
Technical sheets of the main raw materials and additives used in swine feed. They include a comparison of nutritional values from various sources, product
Lysophospholipid supplementation in lactating sows
Lysophospholipid supplementation during lactation may improve nutrient digestibility and of sow productivity.
Meat quality of pigs fed with low or high amylose/amylopectin ratio
A low amylose/amylopectin ratio may promote meat quality traits by inducing lower drip loss and firmness in pork.
Evaluating dietary Vitamin B2 by-product in growing-finishing pigs
Vitamin B2 by-products may be a cost-effective substitute for partially replacing corn and soybean meal in growing-finishing pigs.
Infectious dose of ASFV when consumed naturally in liquid or feed
Although greater concentrations of ASF virus were required to cause infection through feed, the high frequency of exposure may make contaminated feed a more significant risk factor.
Dietary supplementation of protected ZnO in weaned piglets
Protected ZnO may be a successful strategy to reduce dietary Zn supplementation without affecting performance and strongly reducing Zn excretion in weanling pigs.
Cactus addition to lactating sows’ diet
Cactus (Opuntia ficus-indica) dietary supplementation may reduce post-farrowing blood glucose avoiding hypophagia in lactating sows.

Effect of short-term over-dosing finisher pig’s dietary Met on pork quality
Dietary levels above requirements of Met in finisher pigs may improve pork quality without affecting performance parameters.
Determine the adequate amount of dietary phosphorous in growing-finishing pigs
Daily digestible phosphorous supply between 4.6 and 6.7 g fitting a 1.4:1 Ca:P ratio may be enough to achieve a proper growth rate pattern in lean growing-finishing pigs.
Dietary limestone inclusion in weaned piglets and the effects on growth performance, intestinal microbiota and jejunal gene expression
High levels of limestone in weanling diets may affect piglet performance after weaning increasing colonic ecology and intestinal inflammatory response.
Feeding two different levels in sows during late gestation: effects on reproductive performance and piglet birth weight
Dietary levels of 1.8 and 2.2 kg/d in late gestation do not differ on reproductive and piglet performance.
