Role of dietary fibre source and meal size on the ileal transit of digesta in growing pigs
Diet fibre content, but not feeding level, affects the rate of digesta passage in pigs.

Use of fermented wheat germ extract: effects on production parameters and immune status of growing pigs
Incorporation of fermented wheat germ extract into pig feeds may improve pig performance during the growing phase.
Effect of source and quantity of dietary vitamin D in maternal and creep diets on bone metabolism and growth in piglets
Offspring of sows provided 25-hydroxycholecalciferol obtained a markedly improved vitamin D status.
The effect of cereal type and enzyme supplementation on boar taint in entire male pigs
Barley is an efficient cereal to reduce indole in the adipose tissue in male pigs.
Relationship between feed, water intake, and body weight in gestating sows
The correlation between feed and water intake is constant until day 60 of pregnancy. Then, at the end of pregnancy, there is a feed adaptation and the relationship decrease.
Dietary iodine value product: effects on growth performance and carcass fat quality of finishing pigs
Dietary C18:2n-6 concentration was a better predictor of carcass fat iodine value than diet iodine value product.

Dietary seaweed extracts and fish oil supplementation in sows: performance, intestinal microflora, intestinal morphology, volatile fatty acid concentrations and immune status of weaned pigs
Maternal seaweed extract and fish oil supplementation from day 109 of gestation until weaning stimulates growth performance and starter feed intake in weaning pigs.
Effect of compensatory growth on performance, carcass composition and plasma IGF-1 in grower finisher pigs
In the refeeding period, growth was associated with internal organ growth, whereas skeletal muscle was not affected, suggesting that compensatory growth does not have practical benefits for pig production.
Growth performance and gastrointestinal microbial ecology responses of piglets receiving Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation products after an oral challenge with Escherichia coli (K88)
Yeast fermentation products showed better performance, especially in the presence of the active enteric disease.
Effect and interaction between wheat bran and zinc oxide (ZnO) on productive performance and intestinal health in post-weaning piglets
The incorporation of wheat bran or ZnO in the diet improved gut health, but the simultaneous incorporation of both compounds increased E. coli counts, indicating a negative interaction.
Fatty acid transfer from sow to piglet differs for different polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)
Transport of n-3 PUFA from sow to piglet is higher via milk than via bloodstream in the uterus.
Enrichment with n-3 fatty acid feeding of pigs: changes in composition and properties of bacon and different sausages
Any mode of tuna oil supplementation was efficient in enriching n-3 fatty acid, but care should be taken in producing dry sausages due to their susceptibility to rancidity during storage time.
Lactulose as a marker of intestinal barrier function in pigs after weaning
Lactulose recovery in the urine of pigs after weaning is not associated with risk factors for infections, but it seems to be useful to measure the paracellular barrier function.
The effect of phosphorus restriction during the weaner-grower phase on compensatory growth, serum osteocalcin and bone mineralization in gilts
Offering pigs a low-P diet from 10 to 100 kg BW lead to reductions in P excretion, however, growth performance and bone mineralization were compromised.
Effect of feed withdrawal and dietary energy source on muscle glycolytic potential and blood acid-base responses to handling in slaughter-weight pigs
Feeding high-fat diets and 36 h fasting could be effective production practices to reduce pre-slaughter muscle glycolytic potential and, consequently, improve pork quality.
The site of intestinal disappearance of DL-methionine and methionine hydroxy analog differs in pigs
When cost per mole of methionine activity is not different, methionine hydroxy analog may be the better choice in low-fiber diets and DL-methionine in high-fiber diets.
Creep feed: Effects of feed flavor supplementation on pre- and post-weaning performance and behavior of piglet and sow
Administration of flavor could increase creep feed intake pre-weaning and piglet average daily gain post-weaning.
Effect of dietary regime and group structure on pig performance and the variation in weight and growth rate from weaning to 20 weeks of age
Although uniform grouping appears to aid the reduction in slaughter weight variation and improve FCR, its effect is dependent on dietary regime.
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
Immune response and blood chemistry of pigs fed conjugated linoleic acid
Feeding conjugated linoleic acid up to 1.0% to growing-finishing pigs does not significantly alter either immune system (innate or cell-mediated) or blood chemistry variables.
Fermented garlic powder supplementation: effects on growth performance, blood characteristics and meat quality in finishing pigs fed low-nutrient-density diets
The fermented garlic powder supplementation added at the level of 2 g/kg can improve growth performance, while improving meat marbling and firmness score.
Effect of high dietary copper on the expression of hypothalamic appetite regulators in weanling pigs
Supplementing diets with 250 mg/kg copper stimulates feed intake and results in an enhancement in weanling pigs’ growth.
The performance response of pigs of different wean weights to ‘high’ or ‘low’ input dietary regimes between weaning and 20 weeks of age
Light weight pigs were found to eat more and grow faster per kg of body weight than medium or heavy weight pigs.
The effect of introducing purified β-glucans to a wheat-based diet on total tract digestibility and gaseous manure emissions from pigs as compared with consumption of a β -glucan-rich, barley-based diet
Offering a purified source of β-glucans resulted in beneficial reductions in odorous volatile fatty acids in the distal gastrointestinal tract and in excreted manure, and may reflect improvements in N digestibility.
The effects of housing system and feeding level on the joint-specific prevalence of osteochondrosis in fattening pigs
Osteochondrosis prevalence can be reduced by applying deep litter floors with extra space allowance and/or restricted feeding in fattening pigs.
