Extra feed or lipid supplies 10 days prior to parturition and their consequences on farrowing and lactation performances
Extra lipid supplies before farrowing may improve piglet survival
Global agribusiness leaders at Agri Vision 2009 identify ways to double food production by 2050
Expanding populations and increasing incomes are main drivers of the need to double global food and fuel production by 2050, while halving greenhouse gas emissions. Demand is surging but supplies struggle to keep up as markets are volatile and there are limited supplies of land and water - is it possible?
Protein structure: Implications in Animal Nutrition
An understanding of the molecular structure of the whole protein is vital to understanding its digestive behavior and nutritive value in animals. However, studies on protein internal structures at molecular and cellular levels in relation to nutritive value and digestive behaviors of protein in animals are extremely rarely.
The effects of R-salbutamol on behaviour and physiology of finishing pigs
The use of salbutamol in finishing diets does not affect pig behaviour and physiology
Factors affecting the variability in ileal amino acid digestibility in corn distillers dried grains with solubles fed to growing pigs
Amino acid digestibility in corn distillers dried grains with solubles may be strongly affected by their origin but not for the distillery process
Response of piglets weaned from sows fed diets supplemented with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) to an Escherichia coli K88+ oral challenge
The use of sow dietary CLA supplementation through late gestation and lactation may improve piglet immunity and health status after weaning
Novus partners with Chr. Hansen
NOVUS International Inc. has signed an agreement with Chr. Hansen Inc. to provide BioPlus 2B to the swine industry in the U.S.
Effect of barley and oat cultivars with different carbohydrate compositions on the intestinal bacterial communities in weaned piglets
Cereal carbohydrate compositon depends on cereal cultivar and may affect gut microbiota in piglets
Lupins in pig diets: competent alternative to soybean meal (2/2)
Hulls and kernels of Australian sweet lupins are durable and hard to break, which means without reasonable mechanical grinding nutrients in lupins would not be digested and absorbed efficiently.
The use of animal protein hydrolisate may improve feed palatability of weanling diets
Feed preference at weaning was improved by the inclusion of 1% of animal protein hidrolisate
Reduced dietary lysine enhances proportion of oxidative fibers in porcine skeletal muscle
Reducing dietary lysine from 1.16 to 0.73% enhances proportion of oxidative muscle fiber in porcine muscle.
Effects of coextrusion of flaxseed and field pea on the digestibility of energy, ether extract, fatty acids, protein, and amino acids in grower-finisher pigs
Feed extrusion increased dietary nutrient digestibility in gowing pigs
Dietary fibre in nutrition and health of piglets
Dietary fibre (DF) is an important component of all but a few feedstuffs used in the feeding of pigs. It is resistant to digestion by endogenous enzymes in the small intestine thereby becoming the main substrate for bacterial fermentation, particularly in the large intestine.
Effect of feeding reduced crude protein and phosphorus diets on weaning-finishing pig growth performance, carcass characteristics, and bone characteristics
Nutrient excretion may be reduced without affecting growth performance, bone variables, and carcass characteristics in growing-fattening pigs
Effect of dietary fat or starch supply during gestation and/or lactation on the performance of sow, piglets' survival and on the performance of progeny after weaning
Piglet survival at farrowing and at weaning may be improved by sow dietary energy supply during gestation and lactation
