European Union: guidance for assessing safety of Enterococcus faecium in animal feed
The guidance provides a new methodology for distinguishing between safe and potentially harmful strains of E. faecium in animal nutrition.
Impact of dietary energy level and ractopamine on growth performance in finishing pigs
The effects of ractopamine on growth performance in finishing pigs is independent of the energy content.
Sow feeding management during lactation (1/2): Feeding during previous gestation
Today sows have a milk production of 8-12 liters/day or more. The challenge of feeding the lactating sow is not new and improvement to the genetic potential of lean and prolific dam lines make this issue of critical importance for any breeding herd.
The effect of increasing dietary fibre and the provision of straw racks on the welfare of sows housed in small static groups
The increase in dieterary fiber it is not enough to reduce stereotypic behaviour in static group housed sows.
Effects of folic acid on the performance of suckling piglets and sows during lactation
Folic acid supplementation during gestation may improve milk production, milk quality and piglet performance.
USA: USDA predicts record corn harvest
Corn production for 2012/13 is projected at a record 14.8 billion bushels, up 2.4 billion from 2011/12.
Interaction between dietary tryptophan and pyridoxine on tryptophan in post-weaning pigs
Pyridoxine (5 mg/kg) is not a major factor for Trp metabolism.
Innovated BabyMilk is the start for the new Milkiwean portfolio
The formulation of BabyMilk has been upgraded to improve gut health and growth performance in piglets. This innovation is the first in a series as the Milkiwean team at Trouw Nutrition Belgium will introduce a new product portfolio in the coming months.
In-feed antibiotic effects on the swine intestinal microbiome
Medicated pigs show an increase in Proteobacteria (1–11%) compared with nonmedicated at the same time point. This shift was driven by an increase in Escherichia coli populations.
Effects of high dietary fibre from by-products diets on plasma metabolites in gestating sows
Replacing starch by dietary fibre changes plasma metabolites profile in gestating sows.
Green kiwifruit modulates the colonic microbiota in growing pigs
Gastrointestinal disorders in pigs could be discouraged by green kiwifruit consumption
Effect of sorghum dried distillers grains with soluble on ground pork from barrows and gilts
Sorghum grain and sorghum dried distillers grains with soluble can be fed to result in high-quality ground pork.
The influence of vitamin D3 in piglets' growth and health
Oral vitamin D3 did not influence growth performance or bone measurements in this study.
Effects of nutrient supply, plasma metabolites, and nutritional status of sows during transition on performance in the next lactation
Piglet survival and piglet body weight gain may be improved by altering the sow’s nutrient supply during the period from late gestation to lactation.
