Effects of dietary fiber supplementation in gestating sow on fetal growth and placental development and function through serotonin signaling pathway
Dietary fiber may improve placental development in gestating sows.
Diet and microbiota-gut-brain axis in relation to tail biting in pigs
While tail biting is multifactorial, an imbalance in the microbiota-gut-brain axis, modulated via the diet, should be considered as a pathway for the development of tail biting.
The impact of including fiber in weaned piglet diets
The use of fiber can be a good strategy to control post-weaning diarrhea, but what type of fiber is effective?
The impact of a fiber-rich diet during farrowing and lactation on health and performance of sows
High fibre intake during parturition and lactation may improve health status and reduce faecal pathogen bacteria excretion.
Effects of fibre supplementation on social behaviour of group-housed sows and their performance during lactation
Fibre supplementation may reduce sow aggressions during gestation.
Supplementing pre-weaning piglet diets with fibre did not improve resilience to a post-weaning enterotoxigenic E. coli challenge
Fibre inclusion in pre-weaning piglet diets does not improve growth performance nor gastrointestinal health.
Impact of different types of fiber in gestation and lactation on sow serum and performance
Soybean hulls may be a suitable fibre source for the gestation and transition period to enhance sow performance.
AB Vista launches online dietary fibre calculator to help nutritionists
“We have designed this calculator to be a straightforward, easy to access way to assess the total dietary fibre content of finished feed.”
Effect of supplementing sows with inulin on farrowing duration and piglet performance
The addition of dietary inulin during late gestation has a positive impact on sow reproductive performance.
Phasing out zinc oxide - Strategic use of dietary fiber in protein dense nursery feed
Balancing dietary fibers correctly to support intestinal health has potential as a dietary tool when pharmaceutical levels of zinc oxide is no longer permitted in piglet feeds.
The effects of soluble vs insoluble fiber on piglet performance and health
A combination of soluble/insoluble fiber promotes growth performance in weaning piglets.
AB Vista peels back the layers of fibre for animal performance
The paper considers the different fibre parameters, explaining what the composition and the variation could potentially mean for producers.
The effect of a rapeseed-based diet on the gut microbiome modulation in growing-finishing pigs
Rapeseed meal seems to promote the development of protective gut microbiota.
Fermented oats in swine feeding
Feeding fermented oats to weanling pigs may have beneficial effects on their growth performance, nutrient digestibility and ileal microorganism balance.
AB Vista publishes ‘An introduction to Fibre Analysis using NIR’
The new reference guide explains the benefits of moving from conventional fibre methods to total dietary fibre analysis using Near Infrared Reflectance (NIR) technology.
