Growth performance, digestibility and faecal coliform bacteria in weaned piglets fed a diet including either chicory or ribwort
Chicory and ribwort can be included in diets as a fiber source, without negative effects on piglets’ performance.

Role of dietary fibre source and meal size on the ileal transit of digesta in growing pigs
Diet fibre content, but not feeding level, affects the rate of digesta passage in pigs.
Use of fermented wheat germ extract: effects on production parameters and immune status of growing pigs
Incorporation of fermented wheat germ extract into pig feeds may improve pig performance during the growing phase.
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.
Evaluation of an aluminosilicate to decrease the toxic effects of Aflatoxin B1 in swine
AFB1, at the concentrations used for this experiment, affects the animals as shown by the increase in alkaline phosphates and GGT enzymes. Also, the decrease of these enzymes in the group that received the diet containing the absorbent proves the protections of these absorbents.
Functional characterisation of a recombinant xylanase from Pichia pastoris and effect of the enzyme on nutrient digestibility in weaned pigs
The potential benefits of Xyn2 in the nutrition of weaned pigs should make it an alternative for industrial xylanase production.
The effects of diet form and feeder design on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs
Pellet quality is a key factor on the reduction of feed wastage.
Effect of replacing fishmeal with crystalline amino acids on growth performance of nursery pigs from 7 to 11 kg
A good amino acid balance by supplementing crystalline amino acids may substitute fishmeal from weanling diets without affecting performance.
Effects of liquid and fermented liquid feeding on energy, dry matter, protein and phosphorus digestibility by growing pigs
The use of fermented liquid feeding may improve dry matter digestibility in pigs.
The prevalence of Salmonella enterica in Spanish feed mills and potential feed-related risk factors for contamination
A cross-sectional study was conducted in Spain to estimate the prevalence of Salmonella enterica in feed mills and to identify and evaluate potential risk factors associated with feed contamination.
Salmonella enterica in commercial swine feed and subsequent isolation of phenotypically and genotypically related strains from fecal
The purpose of this study was to determine the occurrence and genotypic relatedness of Salmonella enterica isolates recovered from feed and fecal samples in commercial swine production units.
Carcass characteristics and meat quality of heavy swine fed different citrus pulp levels
Citrus pulp addition in qualitative feed restriction program may not be effective. As no deleterious effects upon meat qualities were observed, citrus pulp can be used as an alternative feedstuff for finishing swine.
Energy and nutrient digestibility in a hulless low-phytate phosphorus barley fed to finishing pigs
A hulless low-phytate barley sample fed to finishing pigs had higher digestible phosphorus, energy and AA contents than regular hulled barley, indicating that use of hulless low-phytate barley in swine diets may have ecological benefit.
Digestion rate of dietary starch affects systemic circulation of amino acids in weaned pigs
High level of rapidly digestible starch allows higher systemic circulating concentrations of most AA in pigs.
Effects of phenyllactic acid on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, microbial shedding, and blood profile in pigs
Phenyllactic acid may play as a natural alternative to antibiotics in pig diets.
Early deposition of n-3 fatty acids from tuna oil in lean and adipose tissue of fattening pigs is mainly permanent
Fish oil may be a useful ingredient to enrich pork with n-3 fatty acids, independently of the supplementation period.
