FAO - Global wheat production to increase in 2011

FAO's first forecast for world wheat production in 2011 stands at 676 million tonnes, representing a growth of 3.4 percent from 2010, the March 2011 edition of the Crop Prospects and Food Situation report. This level would still be below the bumper harvests in 2008 and 2009.

Assessment of a hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicate agent and antioxidant blend for mitigation of aflatoxin-induced physiological alterations in pigs

Supplementation of HSCAS is effective in preventing the negative effects of dietary aflatoxin in young pigs as measured by growth and serum chemistry parameters. Supplementing with antioxidant does not mitigate most negative physiological effects associated with aflatoxin consumption.

China - Soybean self-sufficiency could be raised, says expert

With enormous potential and a growing market, China will be able to raise its self-sufficiency rate in soybeans to 30 percent within three years, said Liu Denggao, vice-president of the China Soybean Industry Association.

Link between Hemorrhagic Bowel Syndrome (HBS) and liquid feed

Sudden death due to HBS is a devastating, stealthy phenomenon that affects pigs in growth and finishing phases. The heaviest animals die, sometimes a few over several days, or a few per week, but in a constant succession that can last (up to nine months in Italy’s case, where heavier animals are killed).

Dose-response effect of fish oil substitution in parturition feed on erythrocyte membrane characteristics and sow performance

Osmotic resistance of erythrocytes was not altered by increasing amounts of n-3 PUFA, whereas oxidative stability of erythrocytes, as well as oxidative parameters in plasma, were affected.

Does group housing increase the risk of reproduction problems in French sow herds?

The aim of this study was to investigate reproductive performance and possible reproductive problems (late estrus, infertility, reasons for culling) in herds with either group‐housed or individually housed pregnant sows. In a second analysis, we evaluated the effects of different group housing systems.

European Union - Salmonella in humans falls for fifth consecutive year, Campylobacteriosis remained the most reported zoonotic disease

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) have published their annual report on zoonoses and food-borne outbreaks in the European Union for 2009.

Evaluation of feed budgeting, complete diet blending, and corn-supplement blending on finishing-pig performance

The automatic feed blending system may help to meet nutrient requirements reducing feeding cost during the fattening period.

Statement by North American hog producers on the availability of feed grain

Leaders of Hog farmer organizations in Canada, the United States and Mexico have a major concern in common regarding the availability of feed grain.

Bioavailability of dietary cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12) in growing pigs

High amount of dietary vitamin B12 decreases its bioavailability, but could build up whole body reserves.

Effects of feeding diets containing increasing content of corn distillers dried grains with soluble to grower-finisher pigs on growth performance, carcass composition, and pork fat quality

Feeding grower-finishing pigs diets containing up to 30% DDGS had no adverse effects on growth performance, although up to 20% fat quality may be adversely affected.

Consequences of reduced protein supply from weaning to slaughter

The reduction of protein levels from weaning till slaughter, in keeping with the current French recommendations to reduce pollution (CORPEN, 2003), was evaluated in a feeding trial.

The influence of soybean concentrate and fish meal on nursery pig performance

The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of increasing levels of dietary soybean meal concentrate and fish meal on the performance of weanling pigs.

Europe's protein deficit under spotlight

Total EU protein crop production (dried pulses, soybeans etc) currently occupies only 3% of the Union's arable land and supplies only 30% of the protein crops consumed as animal feed in the EU, with a trend over the past decade towards an increase in this deficit.

Effects of mat-feeding duration and different waterer types on nursery pig performance in a wean-to-finish barn

The use of mat-feeding and swinging waterers may improve piglet performance.

The effects of feeder space and adjustment on growth performance of finishing pigs

Feed waste is independent of the through space, but it is seriously affected by feeder adjustment.
