European Union - EFSA: Scientific Opinion on the safety and efficacy of vitamin B6 as a feed additive for all animal species
Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of pyridoxine hydrochloride, supplied via feed or water, as a feed additive for all animal species.
Histomorphology and small intestinal sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 gene expression in piglets fed phytic acid and phytase-supplemented diets
Phytase supplementation may reduce the negative impact of phytic acid on the sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 gene expression in piglets .
Effect of mineral source and mannan-oligosaccharide supplementation on mineral metabolism on young growing pigs
Mannan-oligosaccharide supplementation may improve mineral digestibility.
Carcass characteristics and meat quality of heavy swine fed different citrus pulp levels
Citrus pulp addition in qualitative feed restriction program may not be effective. As no deleterious effects upon meat qualities were observed, citrus pulp can be used as an alternative feedstuff for finishing swine.
USA - Senate passes sweeping food safety bill
The Senate on Tuesday approved the biggest overhaul to the nation's food safety laws since the 1930s. The 73-to-25 vote gives vast new authorities to the Food and Drug Administration, places new responsibilities on farmers and food companies to prevent contamination, and -- for the first time - sets safety standards for imported foods, a growing part of the American diet.
Satiating properties of diets rich in dietary fibre fed to sows as evaluated by physico-chemical properties, gastric emptying rate and physical activity
The use of ingredients with high DF content in sow diets may reduce the physical activity of the sow.
Dietary purified oat β-glucan reduces peak glucose absorption and portal insulin release in portal-vein catheterized grower pigs
The use of oat β-glucan may reduce the postprandial glycaemic index.
European Union - New rules concerning the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin
COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1099/2010 of 26 November 2010 amending Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 669/2009 implementing Regulation (EC) No 882/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the increased level of official controls on imports of certain feed and food of non-animal origin.
Body reserve mobilization during lactation in first parity sows and its effect on second litter size
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of sow body reserves at weaning and body reserve losses during the first lactation on the second litter size (SLS). A number of 1222 females which reached the second parity without failures such as return to estrus after insemination, abortion or failure to farrow, were analyzed. Measurements of body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BT) and body condition score (BCS) were taken within 24 h after farrowing and on the weaning day.
Canada - Government strengthens Food Safety System with Ministerial Advisory Board

Russia - Government not to sell grains from the Intervention
The Government of the Russian Federation is not going to sell grains from the Intervention Fund due to the unstable situation on the market, announced Victor Zubkov, the First Vice Prime-Minister of the Russian Federation, on November 22.
Energy and nutrient digestibility in a hulless low-phytate phosphorus barley fed to finishing pigs
A hulless low-phytate barley sample fed to finishing pigs had higher digestible phosphorus, energy and AA contents than regular hulled barley, indicating that use of hulless low-phytate barley in swine diets may have ecological benefit.
European Union – New catalogue of feed materials
Feed information will soon improve significantly, thus further empowering feed users, due to an innovative act of private-sector cooperation that resulted in a Commission proposal. The proposal was endorsed today by the Member States at the Standing Committee for on the Food Chain and Animal Health (SCoFCAH). The private sector worked voluntarily on an important update of the old list of feed materials (Catalogue), which contains less than 200 entries. The new Catalogue will include descriptions of 64 qualifying transformation processes of feed materials (currently only 17 processes, which are essentially used to treat feed, are listed) and almost 600 well-defined feed materials.
Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) in swine feeds: an european perspective.
On the european market are available DDGS sorting from the industrial transformation basically of corn or wheat: geographically, their origin is related to the countries that have started in a more extensive way the industrial production of ethanol for fuel use.
