Buttiauxella phytase supplementation may be a suitable strategy to completely replace inorganic phosphate in swine diets.

Bioprocessed soybean meal may be a suitable protein source for piglet nursery diets.

L-proline supplementation during early-pregnancy improves litter size and birth weight in sows with negative energy balance.

Dietary spray-dried porcine plasma supplementation during lactation may improve litter performance in multiparous sows.

The increase in dietary free amino acids under heat stress conditions may be a suitable solution to overcome the lack of performance.

Post-ileal digestion of P it is dependent on the age of the animal and the P content in the diets, factors that could difficult the proper p digestibility estimation.

Dietary phytase superdosing may be a useful strategy in iron deficit status like after weaning occurs.

Use of species-specific probiotic Pediococcus acidilactici FT28 may enhance carcass traits and physicochemical properties of meat in fattening pigs.

Additional fermented corn and soybean mix in corn soybean-based diets for lactating sows may improve sow and litter performance during lactation.

Enzymatically digested food waste may become a suitable feed or feed ingredient for growing-finishing pig without affecting meat quality and improving meat fatty acid profile.

Interaction between genetics and diet may be taken into account to feed the animals for a maximum growth potential.

Red dog has higher nutritional value than wheat middlings for growing pigs.

Soybean meal is preferred by piglets rather than Brassica napus or Brassica juncea but the use of these alternative protein sources does not affect piglet performance.
