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

Supplementing a phytogenic feed additives in pig diets may be an effective way control diarrhea promoted by Lawsonia intracellularis infection.

Flaxseed meal it is a suitable source of energy and AA that should be taken into account in feed formulation for growing 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.

Increasing SID lysine during gestation may promote lean tissue gain on gilts and sows without affecting general performance.

This study was conducted to evaluate the underlying physiological changes during heat stress and the effect of betaine supplementation in lactating sows.

Chlorogenic acid supplementation in weanling diets may improve growth performance, antioxidant capacity and nutrient absorption function in weaned pigs.

Effects of withdrawing of high-fiber may promote increased carcass yield and carcass weight percentage before marketing.

Microalgae rich on omega-3 fatty acids supplementation during gestation and lactation may promote an increase of piglet birthweight while general reproductive performance it is not affected.

The use of microbes isolated from the host as probiotic may be an appropriate way to modulate intestinal microbiota promoting good health status and performance in growing pigs.

In low crude protein diets, net energy levels may affect performance and feeding behavior in heavy pigs.

Results provide further evidence that contaminated feed ingredients may represent a risk for transport of pathogens at domestic and global levels.

Nutritional value and antimicrobial effects of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) meal indicates that would be a suitable alternative source of crude protein for weaned piglets.

Flavour supplementation during lactation may improve sow feed intake promoting higher milk yield in climate challenging conditions.

Benzoic acid supplementation in weanling diets linearly increase performance up to 0.5% while for growing pigs the optimum inclusion level is estimated at 0.36%

Amino acid restrictions for the growing period does not affect growth performance but improves overall efficiency of AA and energy while affects meat quality.

Excess of Na and Cl due to fixed dietary salt inclusion may affect growth performance in growing pigs.

Dietary supplementation of benzoic acid combined with essential oils does not affect sow and litter performance during lactation.

Spray dried porcine plasma supplementation improve weight gain and minimize immune response in mycotoxine challenged piglets at weaning.

Increasing SID lysine levels in lactation diets may reduce tissue mobilisation of the sow while litter weight gain during lactation is improved.
