Iron deficiency and anemia in piglets and the effect of iron status at weaning on post-weaning performance
Consumption of nursery starter feeds containing high concentrations of ZnO is associated with post-weaning anemia.
Drinking water supplementation with organic iron in lactating piglets
Adding organic iron in piglets drinking water during lactation may be an alternative to parenteral administration of inorganic iron.
Magnesium supplementation improves digestibility and reproductive parameters in sows
Magnesium supplementation can increase reproductive performance in adult sows.
Encapsulated ZnO affects growth, intestinal morphology, and digestive enzyme activities in weanling piglets
Supplementation of encapsulated ZnO at a physiological level improves performance than native ZnO.
New ZnO presentations can be used at lower concentrations in weanling diets
Low concentrations of commercial potentiated ZnO is effective in against of ETEC-challenged weaning pigs.
The use of organic trace minerals in sow diets
The provision of trace minerals at the correct level and in their organic form is essential for the modern hyper-prolific sow: they have been shown to increase litter size, the quality of the piglet at birth and weaning and weaning weight and to reduce sow lameness and premature culling.
Dietary Zn supplementation increased the total antioxidant capacity in the mucosa
Zinc oxide may help to reduce intestinal inflammation in weanling piglets.
EFSA proposes reduction of maximum levels of zinc in feed
The introduction of the newly proposed total maximum contents would result in an overall reduction of zinc emissions from animal production of about 20%.
Zinc amino acid complex on gut integrity in heat-stressed growing pigs
The ZnAA may reduce the negative effects of severe heat stress on ileal integrity.
Maternal perinatal transfer of vitamins and trace elements from sows to piglets: more than an iron deficit?
New neonatal strategies of micronutrient supplementation to piglets may be required nowadays.
Effects of inorganic or organic selenium on immunoglobulins in swine
The addition of different sources of Se did not affect the immunoglobulin concentrations in the gilt or piglet.
Effect of zinc chelate and valnemulin for the treatment of swine dysentery in an experimental challenge study
The results demonstrated therapeutic effect of valnemulin in pigs with serious SD and did not show therapeutic effect of chelated zinc.

AbstractHypocalcemia and calcium gluconate use in sows at parturition
Hypocalcemia is not a significant problem immediately post-farrowing in sows of all parities.
Mineral digestibility in meat and bone meal fed to growing pigs
Prediction equations using the concentration of total P in MBM may be useful to estimate P and Ca digestibility in MBM fed to growing pigs.
Phytase supplementation on nutrient digestibility, mineral utilization and performance in growing pigs
Phytase supplementation in growing diets may improve P and Cu retention.
