The effect of feeding crude glycerol on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in weaned pigs
The substitution of wheat by crude glycerol (8%) in piglet diets may improves growth performance
Feed management after weaning
Without a doubt weaning is the most stressful process suffered by a pig, or at least it is up until that moment in its life.
VIV Europe 2010 back to its roots in Utrecht
VIV Europe 2010 will take place from April 20 - 22, 2010 in the Jaarbeurs Utrecht, The Netherlands. The international exhibition on innovative animal husbandry aims to be the ultimate meeting place for international top decision makers in the feed to meat industry. This year two special themes with related conferences will be presented at the exhibition, Eggs! and Meat Safety. Up to 400 companies from 32 different countries have already booked a stand, covering about 75 % of the total exhibition floor.
Feeding excess crude protein: effects on growth performance and carcass traits of finishing pigs
Dietary crude protein in finishing diets may be reduced until 12% without affecting pig performance and carcass yield
EU - The Commission will transmit to the Council a proposal to authorise a GM maize
The Commission will transmit to the Council a proposal to authorise genetically modified (GM) maize after Member States representatives were not able to endorse it during a meeting of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health (SCoFCAH).
Influence of dietary isomaltooligosaccharides on nutrient digestibility and concentration of glucose, insulin, cholesterol and triglycerides in serum of growing pigs
Dietary isomaltooligosaccharides supplementation did not affect any of the measured parameters
Effects of the insoluble and soluble dietary fibre on the physicochemical properties of digesta and the microbial activity in early weaned piglets
The use of higher insoluble-soluble dietary fibre concentration in piglet diets may improve intestinal health at weaning
USA - USDA predicts record corn yield, soybean crop
USDA forecast the largest U.S. corn yield and largest soybean crop in history for the 2009/10 marketing year.
Pork CRC makes pig's breakfast of award
Feeding pigs has sometimes been a fairly hit-and-miss affair, but award-winning new technology developed with Pork CRC support aims to bring precision livestock farming technology to piggeries across Australia and make pig feeding less of a pig’s breakfast.
Effects of feeder design on growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs
The use of a wet-dry feeder improves pig performance until slaughter, without improving carcass performance.
Influence of micronization (fine grinding) of soya bean meal and fullfat soya bean on productive performance and digestive traits in young pigs
Soya bean meal and fullfat soya bean micronization does not improve piglet performance and digestibility of dietary components
Use of Oligosaccharides in Swine Nutrition
Our research model has been a short chain fructooligosaccharide (scFOS) fed to swine. This compound was selected because it was identified in human and swine milk, was shown to have health benefits in human infants and patients recovering from intestinal anastomosis. The health benefit was believed to occur via the trophic effect of scFOS on the Bifidobacteria population.
Cargill to expand animal nutrition production in Romania
Cargill is expanding its animal nutrition footprint in Romania through a major investment in its feed plant in Sura Mica near the town of Sibiu, including the construction of a complete-feed production line within the current premix facility.
EU - Farmers face animal feed shortage
Farmers face an imminent shortage of animal feed because a handful of countries are blocking the approval of genetically modified crops, the European Union’s farm chief warned on Monday.
Fiber in piglet feed
Fiber includes a great variety of components with different physicochemical properties that will affect the digestive processes, separately or by combining, in properties such as solubility, viscosity, formation of gels, water retention capacity, bulkiness, endogenous secretions, nutrient absorption, fermentations, intestinal transit, etc.
