Lameness and nutrition
This article reviews the effect of components of the diet on the bones and osteochondrosis, this being the main caused of lameness and a reason for the culling of young sows. Therefore, they are important concepts to bear in mind in the diets for the rearing of gilts.
Dietary supplementation of protected ZnO in weaned piglets
Protected ZnO may be a successful strategy to reduce dietary Zn supplementation without affecting performance and strongly reducing Zn excretion in weanling pigs.
Determine the adequate amount of dietary phosphorous in growing-finishing pigs
Daily digestible phosphorous supply between 4.6 and 6.7 g fitting a 1.4:1 Ca:P ratio may be enough to achieve a proper growth rate pattern in lean growing-finishing pigs.
Dietary limestone inclusion in weaned piglets and the effects on growth performance, intestinal microbiota and jejunal gene expression
High levels of limestone in weanling diets may affect piglet performance after weaning increasing colonic ecology and intestinal inflammatory response.
Epigenetics in sows: the role of trace elements in the offspring's development
Although we know that the amount and the quality of nutrients induce direct effects on health, the interaction of nutrition with epigenetic modifications is normally overlooked.
Effects of body weight and dietary phosphorus levels on postileal digestion in pigs
Post-ileal digestion of P it is dependent on the age of the animal and the P content in the diets, factors that could difficult the proper p digestibility estimation.
Commission drops plan for drastic copper reductions in piglet feed
The Standing Committee on Plants, Animals, Food and Feed agreed revised maximum permitted limits (MPLs).
Zinc oxide and arginine interaction affects piglet antioxidant capacity and inflammatory response
The interaction between dietary Arginine content and ZnO supplementation may play a negative impact on the antioxidant capacity and inflammatory response in weanling pigs.
Different dietary calcium levels affect growth performance and bone characteristics in pigs
Compensatory Ca achievement in bone is achieved with high Ca finishing diets in pigs fed low Ca during the growing period.
EU committee to re-evaluate zinc oxide decision
According to NPA, the evidence behind the shock recommendation to ban zinc oxide from piglet feed is to be reviewed, following a number of appeals from across the EU.
Palygorskite dietary supplementation effects on back fat mobilization, leptin levels and oxidative stress in sows
The use of palygorskite in sow diets reduces oxidative stress in gestating sows.
Zinc oxide suppress of cytokine gene expression in piglets challenged with Salmonella
Long periods of high ZnO supplementation in weanling pigs may modulate immune response by suppressing the cytokine gene expression in weanling pigs.
Commission welcomes Court of Justice judgment on Animal Feed Phosphates cartel
The Court confirms the fine of nearly €60 million imposed on the Roullier group regarding the phosphates cartel.
Comparison of apparent ileal and total tract digestibility of calcium in calcium sources for pigs
Both AID and ATTD can be used to describe the digestibility of Ca for growing–finishing pigs.
Authorisation of copper oxide as a feed additive
The European Commission has decided to authorize, through Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/2261, its use for all species of animals.
