Metabolic impact of zinc oxide on porcine intestinal cells and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88
The role of zinc oxide in improving piglet health is via a different mechanism to that previously proposed.
Estimating the substitution of distillers' grains for corn and soybean meal in the U.S. feed complex
The growth potential for U.S. feed consumption of DDGS is expected to follow a similar trend, with beef cattle consuming the majority of DDGS, followed by dairy cattle, swine, and poultry.
Dietary crude protein and phytase-xylanase supplementation of wheat grain based diets affect energy metabolism and enteric methane in growing finishing pigs
A combination of dietary crude protein and P reduction with added phytase is the key to optimize pig production efficiency, while minimizing their environmental impacts.
Commission publishes EU cereals market information
The Commission has launched a new webpage on Europa to provide regular information on the EU markets for cereals, oilseeds and rice.
Dietary calcium level as calcium carbonate does not affect the apparent total tract digestibility of calcium, but reduces digestibility of phosphorus by growing pigs
The greatest values for apparent total tract digestibility of P are obtained when the dietary Ca to P ratio is around 1.1:1.
Conjugated linoleic acid supplementation affect growth, carcass characteristics and fatty acid profiles in growing-finishing pigs
The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentration in pig tissues increases linearly by the CLA supplementation in diet.
Oral administration of multispecies microbial supplements to sows influences the composition of gut microbiota and fecal organic acids in their post-weaned piglets
Temporal administration of probiotics to pregnant sows has clear effects on the establishment of gut microbiota to piglets after weaning.
Effect of biofuel co-products in pig diets on the excretory patterns of N and C and on the subsequent ammonia and methane emissions from pig effluent
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of incorporation into pig diets of 20% of different co-products from the biofuel industries on animal growth performance, on N and carbon C excretions, and on the subsequent ammonia volatilisation and methane production during the storage of slurry.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emission from swine manure by using a low-protein diet with synthetic amino acids
Under ad libitum feeding, a low crude protein amino acid supplemented diet can reduce N excretion in manure with no impact on animal growth.
Evaluation of the nutritional value of glycerol for nursery pigs
Glycerol can be added in nursery diets up to 10%, while improving pig performance.
Member States endorse EU measures to better prevent dioxin contamination in food and feed
The protection of consumers and industry against a possible dioxin contamination will soon improve significantly thanks to a Commission proposal.
China: corn crop headed for record
China uses 105 million tons of corn a year for animal feed, with another 60 million to 70 million tons used in the processing sector for such products as starch, citric acid and ethanol.
Impact of fermentation of cereals on the degradation of polysaccharides and other macronutrients in the gastrointestinal tract of growing pigs
Fermentation of cereals alters the dietary composition and influences the flow, composition, and ileal digestibility.
Use of betaine in gilts and sows during lactation: effects on milk quality, reproductive parameters, and piglet performance
Treatment with betaine improve reproductive performance of gilts and sows, and increase body weight gain of the piglets.
USA: Legislation to reform renewable fuel standard introduced
Reps. Jim Costa (D-Calif.) and Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) introduced legislation to give relief to livestock producers, dairymen and consumers. The bipartisan legislation will link the amount of corn ethanol required to fulfill the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) to the actual U.S. corn supply.
