Visitors Ildex Vietnam will greatly benefit from special conference on "Quality in piglet feed"
There are 240 animal feed factories in Vietnam with a combined capacity of around 10 million tons a year. In the first half of 2010, these factories produced 4.9 tons of animal feed. Commercial feed market has been growing strongly, enjoying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 16% between 2005 and 2009, and strong growth is expected to continue in the coming years.
European Union: EFSA supports phenol derivatives in pig feed
The panel concludes that the use of any of the 16 compounds included in CG 25 at the maximum proposed use level in animal feed would not raise safety concerns for consumers of animal products.
Apparent and standardized ileal digestibilities of AA for pigs fed diets at varying crude protein levels
The dietary protein content also affects the standardized ileal digestibility of most amino acids.
Sensory quality of short- and long-term frozen stored pork products
No negative effect on sensory quality is found in short-term frozen stored products when their PUFA content increases.
Vitamin D deficiency syndromes in swine (I)
Vitamin D is normally produced following skin exposure to ultraviolet-B. Since most piglets (and humans too!) are raised in climate controlled housing and born year-round, direct access to sunshine is often limited, even in the summer. Fortunately, vitamin D can be added to diets to meet the animals' need for vitamin D.
The effect of graded levels of dietary threonine on nitrogen retention and structure of the small intestine in young pigs
7.4 g threonine per kg covers the requirement of piglets for rapid growth and maximal N retention as well as for supporting gut barrier function.
The influence of dietary fatty acids on their metabolism in liver and subcutaneous fat in growing pigs
While elongation of fatty acids takes place in the liver, transformations of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids occur in the subcutaneous fat.
Phytogenics recognised as safe and effective by European Union
FRESTA® F, the world’s first and only proven phytogenic zootechnical feed additive, is approved for use by the EU.
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae in pigs is impaired by the garlic volatile allyl methyl sulfide
The garlic-derived volatile allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) as a lead compound of volatile garlic metabolites was shown to exhibit an antibacterial effect against the pig pathogen Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 9.
Amino acid digestibility in heated soybean meal fed to growing pigs
Autoclaving but not oven drying reduces the concentration and digestibility of AA in soybean meal.
Investigating sulphur content in pig slurry using a nutritional approach
The feed composition may have a marked effect on sulphur excretion, with a specific contribution of some feedstuffs with high inorganic sulphur content.
Modification of selected bacteria and markers of protein fermentation in pigs upon consumption of chitosan is accompanied by heightened manure odor emissions
Lactic-acid bacteria can modulate manure odor emissions, regardless of fermentable protein availability.
Keratinase affects performance and intestinal morphology and ecology of piglets fed diets with different levels of crude protein
Keratinase supplementation has a positive effect on the performance of weanling piglets fed corn-soybean diets.
Improving lifetime performance by steering on body weight and backfat thickness in young sows
Modern sows are able to produce over 70 weaned piglets during their productive live.
The impact of short-term feeding of Mg supplements on the quality of pork packaged in modified atmosphere
Short-term magnesium chelate supplementation improves water holding capacity and sensory visual assessment on pork packaged in modified atmosphere.
