Effects of dietary supplementation of L-carnitine on the reproductive performance of sows in production stocks
L-carnitine supplementation improves sow productive and reproductive performance
Effects of low-protein diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids on performance and intestinal development in piglets over the first 2 weeks after weaning
The reduction of dietary CP content at weaning with AA supplementation improves nitrogen utilization without affecting piglet performance and intestinal morphology
Plasma prevents and reduces E. coli diarrhoea in piglets
One of the main properties of dietary plasma is a substantial stimulation of feed intake after weaning (25%!). Many experiments demonstrated that a high feed intake after weaning prevents intestinal damage (villus atrophy).
Influences of dietary conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and total lysine content on growth, carcass characteristics and meat quality of heavy pigs
CLA deposition is not limited by the total dietary lysine level in CLA-fed heavy pigs
Dietary arginine supplementation affects microvascular development in the small intestine of early-weaned pigs
Low levels of L-arginine supplementation in piglet diets are more effective than high levels on intestinal microvascular development
The effect of inclusion of oat hulls in piglet diets based on raw or cooked rice and maize
A rice based diet may be more favourable for the transition of weaned piglets compared to a maize based diet.
Creep feed intake during lactation enhances net absorption in the small intestine after weaning
Piglets eating creep feed during lactation have better small intestine functionality at weaning.
Effect of dietary Leucine and Lysine on intramuscular fat content in finishing pigs
Low Lysine levels with high Leucine levels can represent a strategy to increase the intramuscular fat content.
The effect of dietary protein and fermentable carbohydrates levels on growth performance and intestinal characteristics in newly weaned piglets
Modifying gut fermentation feeding weaned piglets with fermentable carbohydrates do not necessarily improve performance.
How much lactose for piglet diets?
Lactose content in the diet of weaning pigs may vary depending on the conditions to which the animals are raised.
Influence of different phosphorus levels and phytase supplementation in gestation diets on sow performance
Low phosphorus levels in gestation diets may not necessarily determine a decrease in the sow performance.
Influence of access to grass silage on the welfare of sows introduced to a large dynamic group
Provision of silage racks to gestating sows is helpful to reduce stereotypic behaviours when sows are housed in large dynamic groups.
Effect of level of feed restriction during growth and/or fattening on fatty acid composition and lipogenic enzyme activity in heavy pigs
A low feeding level during the growing phase may be a useful tool to enhance the fatty acid composition in heavy Iberian pigs.
Effect of weaning age, protein nutrition and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli challenge on the health of newly weaned piglets
Weaning age and dietary crude protein content determine differences on the resistance of weaned piglets to the onset of postweaning colibacillosis.
Intestinal development and growth performance of early weaned piglets fed a low-threonine diet
Providing a well-balanced diet in Threonine is critical in order to maintain the mucosal structure of ileum in early weaned piglets.
