Adding value to slurry through biogas production reduces emissions, costs, and environmental limitations in pig production.

Individual precision feeding (IPF) seeks to provide each animal with the exact amount of nutrients required daily.

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.

How are African swine fever (ASF) viruses classified? How well represented are they in sequence databases?

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.

Thorough monitoring and a highly practical contingency plan helped minimise the impact of a PRRS infection at a GTC.

When foetuses develop in a heat-stressed gestation sow, a condition known as in utero heat stress occurs, and piglets may be born smaller with impaired gut microbiome and immune function. Additionally, these piglets show greater susceptibility to stress later in life. Although these consequences are not always immediately apparent, they are important to manage and prevent.

We're not just talking about family succession. We're talking about talent, vocation, future. How to cultivate today the leadership the sector will need tomorrow.

The post-ASF scenario will most likely paint a picture with fewer pigs and the unfortunate absence or disappearance of a number of operators.

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.

Initial injuries at the tip of the ear are usually due to chewing behavior, while injuries at the base of the ear appear to be influenced by feeder-related bites.

To complement the necropsy course, we have produced a series of videos of different processes in pigs.

The market is gradually working its way out of a phase of tension.
