The current study developed and validated an automatic approach for observation of feeding and drinking behaviour based on 2D video.

A dietary electrolyte balance of 180 mEq/kg in low-protein diets maintains intestinal integrity, mitochondrial function, and carcass quality in growing pigs.

Increasing slaughter weight to 150 kg slows carcass chilling and alters ham composition but does not substantially increase the incidence of intramuscular colour defects.

Combined supplementation of 3-phytase and 6-phytase may improve phosphorus and calcium release and digestibility.

Can precision feeding reduce growth differences in pigs?

Functional amino acid supplementation may modulated immune response and improve growth in pigs under chronic immune stimulation.

The autoregressive moving average model with exogenous variables demonstrated strong accuracy in predicting water usage, effectively capturing trends and deviations in water use.

Diet blending may improve feed efficiency without impact on carcass quality in finishing pigs.

A mix of rapeseed, cotton, and sunflower meals may successfully become a potential protein source in finishing pig diets without affecting performance and meat quality traits.

This study highlighted the possible differences that may arise in WQ® scoring depending on the time of the assessment during a growing period.

Spirulina may become a suitable alternative protein source for growing-finishing diets.

Low-protein diets in finishing pigs may improve nitrogen efficiency without affecting performance and carcass quality.

Dietary protein reduction together with amino acid supplementation may improve nitrogen retention in growing-finishing pigs.

Dietary high oleic soybean oil supplementation in growing-finishing diets may improve pork quality and shift pork fat toward higher unsaturated fatty acids and lower saturated fatty acids.
