Short- & medium-chain fatty acids: fundamentals and functions in swine nutrition
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.
Organic acids and essential oils: how they work, how they differ and why encapsulation changes everything
The withdrawal of ZnO in the EU and the UK, and the pressure to reduce the use of antibiotics, has accelerated the shift to implement alternatives to protect postweaning gut health.
Impact of dietary ABC-4 on the productive performance of post-weaning piglets
After weaning, endogenous hydrochloric acid production is still limited, which raises stomach pH and compromises pepsin activity, affecting protein digestibility and favoring pathogen growth.
Optimal benzoic acid supplementation enhances growth, nitrogen utilization, and carcass traits while reducing ammonia emissions in pigs from weaning to market
Dietary benzoic acid supplementation may improve growth performance, N retention while reducing the environmental impact in growing-finishing pigs.
Weaned pigs fed a low-crude protein, propionic acid-preserved grain diet: effects of butyric acid supplementation on the gut microbiome and growth performance
Grain preserved with organic acids and butyric acid may promote nutrient digestibility and feed efficiency but may affect intestinal microbial balance.
NOVUS presents breakthroughs in nursery pig nutrition at DPP
Experts on the NOVUS Swine Team will present three posters showcasing innovative strategies in nursery pigs at the 16th International Symposium on Digestive Physiology of Pigs.
Indole-3-propionic acid boosts growth and helps prevent diarrhea by supporting antioxidant balance and reducing intestinal inflammation in weaned piglets
Indole-3-propionic acid supplementation in weanling pigs may improve growth performance and intestinal health.
Organic acids: Chemical structure, mechanism of action and benefits of their use
This first data sheet on organic acids describes their chemical structure, mechanisms of action, and the main benefits of their use in swine nutrition.
Summary of the 27th IPVS and 15th ESPHM-ECPHM: Reproduction, welfare, and nutrition
In this third installment, Antonio Palomo summarizes the papers presented on reproduction, nutrition, precision livestock farming, and other aspects of swine production.
Dietary salicylic acid supplementation: effects on performance and blood metabolites of sows and their litters
Sow salicylic acid supplementation during lactation increases the birth weight and total iron-binding capacity of neonates.
Impact of dietary stevia residue extract supplementation on performance and antioxidative capacity in growing-finishing pigs
Stevia residue supplementation may enhance pig performance in finishing pigs.
Sodium butyrate combined with benzoic acid modulates gut microbiota and improves growth performance of nursery pigs
Sodium butyrate and benzoic acid: an opportunity to improve growth performance and gut microbiota health in weaning pigs.
Gut health: Stimulate digestion
This article reviews nutritional strategies to achieve a more efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients, which in turn will promote intestinal health.
Organic and medium chain fatty acids on sow and litter performance
The dietary combination of OA and MCFA may improve gut health in sows and piglet performance.
Gut health: stimulate the colonization of beneficial microbiota
How can we promote a healthier microbiota, favorable for the pig and for its productivity? And, when is the best time to get it?
