Intermittent suckling (IS) has proven to stimulate creep feed intake in suckling piglets. This paper describes the development of feeding behaviour in three litters with high (H) and three litters with low (L) feed intake during lactation in both control (C) and IS treatment.

The use of a multienzime on wheat DDGS based diets improves nutrient digetibility and growth performance.

The use of astaxanthin during the finish phase may improve pork quality and meat acceptance.

The dietary fibre after weaning could be able to constitute an alternative to the use of antibiotic growth promoters. This experiment carried out at INRA and IFIP, aimed to evaluate the effects of fermentable fibre on piglet performance and health during post‐weaning.

Butyrate administration during the sucking period improve intestinal maturation and physiology

The objective of this study was to assess how changes in genetics and feeding programs over 25 years in the U.S. commercial swine industry have impacted lean growth performance.

This trial was undertaken to investigate the metabolic changes occurring around farrowing and to assess their relationships with feed intake and metabolism of the sow during lactation.

Yeast cultures may represent an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters for weanling piglets.

Pig performance is not affected by the wheat variety used in the growing-finishing diets

Diet pelleting improves pig performance during the finishing period; however, pellet quality may strongly depend on diet composition

Dietary available phosphorous may be predicted taking into account the phytase level in the diet

An experiment was performed to investigate the effects of seaweed extracts, laminarin (derived ß-glucans) and fucoidan (sulphated polysaccharides) independently or in combination on post-weaning piglet performance and selected microbial populations.

Linseed oil supplementation of sow diets during gestation and lactation modifies piglet ileal structure and physiology

The use of mycotoxin binders on diets with a mycotoxin concentration below the practical quantitation limit does not improve growth performance

Zinc and copper supplementation of weanling diets improve piglet performance during the nursery period

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of addition of fungal phytase (Aspergillus niger) in activity of trypsin and chymotripsin and nutrient digestibility in crossed pigs (Yorkshire x Landrace, 11.46 kg BW).
