Modifying gut fermentation feeding weaned piglets with fermentable carbohydrates do not necessarily improve performance.

Lactose content in the diet of weaning pigs may vary depending on the conditions to which the animals are raised.

Low phosphorus levels in gestation diets may not necessarily determine a decrease in the sow performance.

Provision of silage racks to gestating sows is helpful to reduce stereotypic behaviours when sows are housed in large dynamic groups.

A low feeding level during the growing phase may be a useful tool to enhance the fatty acid composition in heavy Iberian pigs.

Weaning age and dietary crude protein content determine differences on the resistance of weaned piglets to the onset of postweaning colibacillosis.

Providing a well-balanced diet in Threonine is critical in order to maintain the mucosal structure of ileum in early weaned piglets.

Glutamine in the weaning diets can favour a better immune status in piglets.

Metabolizable Energy content of crude glycerol varies among weaning piglets and finishing pigs.

Organic acid addition in growing-finishing diets does not modify skatole concentration in the adipose tissue of entire male pigs.

Reducing particle size of the lactation diets below 1000 µm do not necessarily represent and advantage for the productivity of the sow during lactation.

Presence of phytic acid in finishing pig diets may provoke a reduction in the oxidative processes in pork meat.

Asynchrony in the supply of amino acids and glucose to the pig provokes a higher utilization of amino acids as a source of energy

Increases in the tryptophan content in corn-based lactation diets, determines increases in the feed intake and performance of the sow

Feeding lactulose to piglets increases hindgut fermentation, and in the growing pig may determine a better hindgut environment for the development of Salmonella derby

Lactoferrin in the weaning pig diets permits to improve growth performance, reducing diarrhoea presentation and modifying intestinal morphology in the weaning period.
