Dietary protein in piglet diets

In order to apply the most suitable feeding regime to newly weaned pigs it is important to balance the trade off between the detrimental effect on performance of feeding levels of protein that are too low to allow maximal growth and those which increase the risk of post weaning diarrhoea.

Tryptophan in swine nutrition

Tryptophan has positive effects on voluntary feed intake. This greater feed intake leads to increased growth performance and improved feed conversion ratio in piglets, and to lower body weight losses in sows during lactation.

Feed management after weaning

Without a doubt weaning is the most stressful process suffered by a pig, or at least it is up until that moment in its life.

Use of Oligosaccharides in Swine Nutrition

Our research model has been a short chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) fed to swine. This compound was selected because it was identified in human and swine milk, was shown to have health benefits in human infants and patients recovering from intestinal anastomosis. The health benefit was believed to occur via the trophic effect of scFOS on the Bifidobacteria population.

Fiber in piglet feed

Fiber includes a great variety of components with different physicochemical properties that will affect the digestive processes, separately or by combining, in properties such as solubility, viscosity, formation of gels, water retention capacity, bulkiness, endogenous secretions, nutrient absorption, fermentations, intestinal transit, etc.

Alternatives to fish meal for piglets

Fish meal has always been the main source and the preferred choice of nutritionists for quality protein, above all in the formulation of feed for the youngest ages.

What is the best age for weaning piglets? (1/3)

With this article we begin the publication of a series of three unpublished articles by José Barceló for pig333.com on the age at weaning. José gave us the articles a few days before his death. As a way of paying homage to him we have decided to publish them posthumously without any alterations.

Feed palatability and voluntary feed intake in pigs

Piglets face a very stressful process at weaning and feed intake becomes one of the most limiting issues.

Protein structure: Implications in Animal Nutrition

An understanding of the molecular structure of the whole protein is vital to understanding its digestive behavior and nutritive value in animals. However, studies on protein internal structures at molecular and cellular levels in relation to nutritive value and digestive behaviors of protein in animals are extremely rarely.

Lupins in pig diets: competent alternative to soybean meal (2/2)

Hulls and kernels of Australian sweet lupins are durable and hard to break, which means without reasonable mechanical grinding nutrients in lupins would not be digested and absorbed efficiently.

Dietary fibre in nutrition and health of piglets

Dietary fibre (DF) is an important component of all but a few feedstuffs used in the feeding of pigs. It is resistant to digestion by endogenous enzymes in the small intestine thereby becoming the main substrate for bacterial fermentation, particularly in the large intestine.

Whey Products in piglet diets

A large body of research data exists on the response of pigs to whey. Good quality whey protein contains all the protective components of milk protein.

Energy requirements of growing pigs: Practical implications

Practical diet formulation takes into account more than the response of the pig to increasing dietary energy. Available feed ingredients, feed processing capability, and economic value of average daily gain also have an impact on determining the most economical dietary energy level.

Feeder adjustment - how to get barn workers involved in the daily adjustment process

The research data suggests that feeders designed for ad libitum feed access with diets in the mash form should have approximately 40% of the feeder pan covered with feed.

Dietary fibre as microflora modulator in pigs

Certain species of the resident bacteria are known to provide benefits to the host. These are the lactic acid producing bacteria (LAB), which include the Lactobacilli, Bifidobacteria, members of the Streptococci, and several other species. The amount and composition of substances reaching the large intestine can be readily modified by diet and, in terms of bacterial substrates, it is the fermentable substrate such as oligosaccharides, starches and non starch polysaccharides (NSP) which are most important.

Plasma prevents and reduces E. coli diarrhoea in piglets

One of the main properties of dietary plasma is a substantial stimulation of feed intake after weaning (25%!). Many experiments demonstrated that a high feed intake after weaning prevents intestinal damage (villus atrophy).
