The level of dietary fiber and sanitary conditions affects growth and health in weanling pigs
The inclusion of high-fiber diets just after weaning in poor sanitary conditions may reduce piglet weight gain.
Clinical case: Necrotizing pneumonia in suckling piglets
In a factory farm located in Mexico an increase in the mortality in the farrowing quarters was seen, and this coincides with temperature and relative humidity increases.
Yeast hydrolyzed protein on performance of weaned piglets
Yeast hydrolyzed protein improves weight gain and uniformity in weaned piglets.
Effect of mixing piglets affected by Escherichia coli diarrhea on growth and welfare responses
Mixing piglets affected by E. coli diarrhea may have a detrimental effect on growth rate.
Supplementing sows with a zootechnical feed additive decreases fecal shedding of bacteria and improves calostral immunoglobulin concentrations and litter performance
The use of a zootechnical feed additive during gestation may reduce microbial pathogens in feces and improve IGA concentration in calostrum.
Effects of dietary seaweed extract supplementation in sows and post-weaned pigs on performance, intestinal morphology, intestinal microflora and immune status
SWE supplementation post-weaning provides a dietary means to improve gut health and to enhance growth performance in starter pigs.
Effects of adding cracked corn to a pelleted supplement for nursery and finishing pigs
The use of cracked corn in pelleted diets may improve performance and reduce gastric ulcer scores in fattening pigs.
Keratinase affects performance and intestinal morphology and ecology of piglets fed diets with different levels of crude protein
Keratinase supplementation has a positive effect on the performance of weanling piglets fed corn-soybean diets.
Evaluation of the nutritional value of glycerol for nursery pigs
Glycerol can be added in nursery diets up to 10%, while improving pig performance.
Seasonality and mortality at fattening
One could think that the number of deaths increases in the winter in the northern hemisphere because the animals freeze to death.
The good taste of pigs (part II): let it be umami
The taste system senses the nutritional value of foods through the taste buds defined as clusters of taste sensory cells present in the tongue
Assessing animals in the growing phase
It is practically impossible to inspect all the pigs individually during routine control visits.
Effects of mat-feeding duration and different waterer types on nursery pig performance in a wean-to-finish barn
The use of mat-feeding and swinging waterers may improve piglet performance.
Evaluation of alternatives to increase weaning age
Without adding more space, the only way to accommodate an increase in weaning age is to decrease the breeding herd inventory.
The effect of feeding increased levels of amino acids in heavy and medium weight nursery pigs on pig performance
A good balance between the four limiting AA and the crude protein content is required for a successful pig growth.
