Against a background of rising commodity prices, European pig farmers are reducing their production, which will lead to a decrease in supply on the hog market in 2023 and to prices remaining at high levels.

Which dietary factors can affect the feed conversion ratio? Enric Marco talks about how the energy and protein values of feed, the particle size, and mycotoxins can make us lose money.

Nutritional immunomodulation can be used for real-time adjustments to guide the immune system in protective directions.

The reader should be aware that in microbiome research correlation does not imply causation.

Eubiotics are seen as alternatives to things like zinc and antibiotic growth promotors for farms that can not use them, but if the global trend is that those products are no longer going to be available, should they be used as baseline?

How can we make sense of the increasing information available regarding the swine microbiota and apply it at the barn level? In this second article of the series, Matheus Costa explains.
