Finding new ways to improve feed efficiency

The primary aim of the project is to find genetics that give the best performance for a group of pigs in a pen. A second aim is also to find out how the microbiome influences feed efficiency, carcass quality, and behavior. A third aim is to find ways of more accurately fine-tuning feed and genetics.

Diet presentation form affects pig growing performance and carcass characteristics

Fine grinding improves feed efficiency for meal but not for pelleted diets although pelleting improves average daily gain in growing pigs.

How efficient are the current hyper-prolific lactating sows? (2/2)

In the previous paper, the effects of nutrient restriction and consequent catabolism during lactation on sow reproduction yield have been addressed. In the present paper, the efficiency of sows in using energy from feed and body mass is considered.

Suspending the authorisation of ethoxyquin as a feed additive

Since further use of the additive ethoxyquin might cause a risk to human, animal health and the environment, the additive and feed containing it should be withdrawn from the market as soon as possible.
