Effects of drinking water temperature and flow rate during cold season on growth performance of weaned piglets
This study recommends a specific combination of drinking water temperature and flow rate for weaned piglets during cold weather for the consideration of animal welfare and production efficiency.
Effects of oral probiotic supplementation on performance, blood biochemistry, diarrhea incidence, and mortality in high- and low-birth-weight piglets
Oral probiotic supplementation may reduce mortality in low-birth-weight piglets.
Transabdominal ultrasound guided AAV9-GFP delivery in fetal pigs: a translational and minimally invasive model for in utero fetal gene therapy
These results instill optimism for the prospect of implementing gene therapies in utero to prevent or correct many human genetic diseases, specifically multisystem disorders such as mitochondrial diseases.
Few effects of sow lactational stress on maternal behavior, but altered physiology with implications for piglet early-life stress coping
Lactational stress resulted in increased cortisol in sow milk and saliva.
Tannic acid supplementation in low-protein diets improves intestinal health and modulates gut microbiota in weaned piglets challenged with E. coli
Tannic acid supplementation may improve gut health in weaned piglets.
Effects of dietary supplementation with a Bacillus-based probiotic on gut health in weaned piglets challenged with rotavirus
Bacillus-based probiotic supplementation may reduce rotavirus effects in weaned piglets.
Piglets’ behaviour and performance in relation to sow characteristics
Only some of the measured nutritive and non-nutritive sow factors influenced litter performance and behaviour, with parity and litter size also playing a role.
Lycopene as a protective agent against soybean meal–induced intestinal injury in early-weaned piglets
Lycopene supplementation may smooth intestinal challenges and intestinal injury in weanling pigs.
333 Emerging Voices: Factors determining the growth of piglets during lactation and their relationship with weaning weight
This final project from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at CEU Cardenal Herrera University was supervised by Antonio González de Bulnes López.
Inheriting the sins of their fathers: boar life experiences can shape the emotional responses of their offspring
Boar breeding environments affect the stress response and emotionality of their offspring.
The effect of prebiotic xylo-oligosaccharide supplementation on gut microbiome, innate immunity, gut barrier function, and performance in piglets experiencing post-weaning diarrhea
Prebiotic xylo-oligosaccharides may enhance growth performance and gut health in weaning piglets.
Effects of grinding teeth on piglet facial lesions, sow teat lesions and performances
Grinding teeth decreased the teat lesion score on day 21 of lactation but did not influence the mortality rate or litter weight gain.
Fiber-rich diets from suckling to nursery enhance piglet gut development and energy efficiency despite temporary growth slowdown
Fiber-rich diets at weaning may become successful feeding strategy in piglets.
Ergotism in an organic sow herd and the impact on lactation performance and subsequent reproductive performance
This case reports the level of ergot alkaloids and duration of exposure found under field conditions in a herd that experienced a high neonatal mortality event consequent to agalactia in the sows.
Effects of fermented feed materials in weaning diets on growth performance and health parameters in piglets
Fermented feed materials containing Pediococci and Lactobacilli may improve gut health and growth performance in weanling pigs.
