Maternal dietary fat affects further fatty acid composition of the progeny
The progeny of sows fed a high-fat diet have a higher total PUFA and n−6 fatty acid contents in the longissimus thoracis muscle.
Establishment of the 2012 vitamin D requirements in swine
Dietary treatments of ≥800 IU/kg feed showed beneficial effects for breeding swine in terms of bone mineral content and ultimate strength, decreased number of still born piglets, and greater vitamin D status in comparison with dietary treatments of 200 IU/kg of feed.
Fulvic acid affects growth performance and meat quality in growing-finishing pigs
Fulvic acid increases growth performance and improve meat quality.
Pea starch meal as a substitute for cereal grain in diets for lactating sows
Pea starch can be used as an alternative source of starch for lactating sows.
Maternal perinatal transfer of vitamins and trace elements from sows to piglets: more than an iron deficit?
New neonatal strategies of micronutrient supplementation to piglets may be required nowadays.

Dietary polyphenols reduce diarrhoea in post-weaning piglets
Plant extracted polyphenols may be a natural source additive to overcome diarrhoea in weanling pigs.
Dietary lecithin improves dressing percentage and decreases chewiness in the longissimus muscle in finisher gilts
The use of lecithin in swine diets improve pork tenderness and of dressing percentage.
Effects of inorganic or organic selenium on immunoglobulins in swine
The addition of different sources of Se did not affect the immunoglobulin concentrations in the gilt or piglet.
Weaning age and post-weaning feeding programme affect growing performance
Increasing weaning age has positive health effects and increase growth performance between weaning and 10 weeks of age.
Heat stress and reduced plane of nutrition decreases intestinal integrity and function in pigs
Intestinal integrity, function, and metabolism can be compromised due to prolonged heat stress.
Effect of zinc chelate and valnemulin for the treatment of swine dysentery in an experimental challenge study
The results demonstrated therapeutic effect of valnemulin in pigs with serious SD and did not show therapeutic effect of chelated zinc.

Stage of gestation is the critical point when the sows in a pen with electronic feeding system.
Resveratrol and essential oils in challenged piglets
Supplementing resveratrol to weaned piglets could have beneficial effects on growth performance, immune function and the microbial ecosystem.
Improving feed efficiency in fattening pigs through sensorial stimulation
The use of a satiety-inducing flavour in diet may promote feed efficiency in fattening pigs.
Fermented garlic powder in weanling pigs
The use of 0.5 g/Kg of fermented garlic powder in the diet may improve ADG and ADFI in weanling pigs.
The use of DDGS in gestating sows kept in a group-housed system or individual stalls
The use of DDGS in gestating diets may creat controversial response on animal behaviour depending on the housing system.

Mineral digestibility in meat and bone meal fed to growing pigs
Prediction equations using the concentration of total P in MBM may be useful to estimate P and Ca digestibility in MBM fed to growing pigs.
Valine supplementation improves immune and endocrine function of lactating sows
Dietary valine supplementation increases serum albumin, IgM, IgG and prolactin concentrations.
Organic acids and medium chain fatty acids on the gastrointestinal health in weanling pigs
The combination of SCFA and MCFA could act as gut flora modifiers to promote intestinal heath at weaning.
Prenatal flavour exposure through maternal diets influences flavour preference in piglets before and after weaning
Prenatal flavour exposure decrease neophobia for specific flavours.
Microbial quality of fresh pork loin during storage affected by oregano oil and cranberry pulp diet supplementation in pigs
Oregano oil and ground cranberry pulp has a limited effect on the microbiological profile in pork.
Lactation feed intake may be a useful tool to predict further sow reproductive performance
Feed intake during lactation is a key factor on litter performance and subsequent successful productive live of the sow.
