Practical approach to the critical control points of post-weaning diarrhoea on the farm
Enric Marco sums up the essential points to control post-weaning diarrhoea in our farm.
Robust outlook for global cereal supplies in 2016
World cereal production in 2016 is set to amount to 2 521 million tonnes, just 0.2 percent off last year's large output and the third-highest global performance on record.
Energy supplementation to neonatal piglets of low birth weight
Energy supplementation to neonatal piglets of low birth weight may reduce piglet mortality.
Pre-lactation nutrition strategies for optimal sow and piglet performance
The evolution of genetics in modern sows requires nutritionists to evolve their diets and feeding programs accordingly. Nutritionist need to consider not only the role of nutrition on metabolism but also on hormone regulation and subsequent reproduction.
Using phytogenic products in swine nutrition
The immunomodulatory effect —particularly anti-inflammatory— of phytogenic products added to the diet seems to play a crucial role in addressing intestinal clinical pictures in pigs.
Comparing efficacy of different xylanases on wheat or corn co–product diets
Xylanases supplementation of pig diets based coproducts from wheat and corn may improve performance during the growing period.
Strategies to control piglet weight variability in the nursery (2/2): Feeding and feeding troughs
Various strategies are discussed: offering up to 3 different types of feed, budget feeding, density of piglets per feeder space, ...
Effect of feeding different levels of sugar beet pulp on weaning piglets
Proper amounts of sugar beet pulp in weanling diets may improve post-weaning performance.
Iron deficiency and anemia in piglets and the effect of iron status at weaning on post-weaning performance
Consumption of nursery starter feeds containing high concentrations of ZnO is associated with post-weaning anemia.
Amylose/amylopectin ratio affects carcass traits and meat quality in finishing pigs
A high dietary amylose/amylopectin ratio improves growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality in finishing pigs.
The effect of feeding a diet formulated for developing gilts on lameness indicators and carcass traits
A proper feed restriction during rearing period may be a successful strategy to reduce lameness in gilts.
Rabobank: EU grains-to-pork value chains must leverage country strengths
Over the past 30 years, the European value chain—spanning from grains & oilseeds (G&O) via feed to pork—has developed into three main business models: specialisation, semi-integration and full integration.
Drinking water supplementation with organic iron in lactating piglets
Adding organic iron in piglets drinking water during lactation may be an alternative to parenteral administration of inorganic iron.
Changes in morphology of small intestine of piglets after weaning that can trigger diarrhoea
Weaning triggers a series of changes leading to the decrease of feed intake and the deterioration of the intestinal architecture which finally results in infection, diarrhoea and low performance.
Environmental impact of replacing soybean meal with rapeseed meal in diets of finishing pigs
Results show that, expressed as per kg of BW, replacing SBM with RSM in finishing pig diets marginally decreased global warming potential (GWP) and energy use (EU) but decreased land use (LU) up to 12%.
