European Union: Commission authorises 17 GMOs for food/feed uses
The GMOs approved had received "no opinion" votes from Member States in both the Standing and Appeal Committees, since no qualified majority either in favour or against was expressed.

European Union: more freedom for Member States to decide on the GMOs use for food & feed
As of today, a more flexible approach towards use of GMOs.
The use of a novel phytase on P digestibility in lactating sows
Feeding short-term reduced dietary P with phytase does not affect sow performance.
Launch of Porcine Health Management (PHM), the official journal of the ECPHM and EAPHM
This new journal, which puts the pig in a central position, has been jointly established by the ECPHM and EAPHM.
NET energy system for gestating and lactating sows (2/2)
The results show that digestibility of the same diets is indeed higher for gestating and lactating sows than it is for growing pigs.
Phosphorous digestibility on dry and soaked diets for growing pigs
Soaking diet containing solely plant phytase provides a great potential for increasing ATTD of P.
Encapsulated ZnO affects growth, intestinal morphology, and digestive enzyme activities in weanling piglets
Supplementation of encapsulated ZnO at a physiological level improves performance than native ZnO.
FAO: world cereal supplies boosted by record crops in 2014
The cereal output estimate for 2014 was raised to 2 544 million tonnes mainly due to a larger than anticipated maize harvest in the European Union.
NET energy system for gestating and lactating sows (1/2)
Making use of the NET energy system for sows to formulate feeds makes it possible to achieve a smooth transition from gestation to lactation diets, which makes the transition period around farrowing easier for the sows.
Effect of an organic selenium supplementation on growth performance and meat quality in pigs
Vitamin E had highly reduced lipid peroxidation level in the ω3 supplemented groups compared to mineral selenium supplementation alone.
United States: draft guidance for industry on ensuring safety of animal feed
This draft guidance is intended to help animal producers (persons who feed animals) develop and implement on-farm practices to ensure the safety of animal feed maintained and fed to animals on the farm.
Feeding programs for sows could be established on a metabolic states and hormonal profile basis
Insulin, ghrelin and leptin could be used as biomarkers to detect situations resulting in a poor energy balance.
Dietary long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids from protected fish oil effects on the joints health in sows
The dietary fish oil inclusion may prevent lameness appearance in sows.
The porcine gut after Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 feeding in a Salmonella Typhimurium challenge
It is proposed that Enterococcus faecium NCIMB 10415 exerts an immune modulatory effect by increasing the numbers of intraepithelial lymphocytes.
Control of feeding with a chart wrapped around the water pipe
The goal is to record the sows' feeding level when fed manually.
Olive cake by-product improves growth performance and carcass traits in growing finishing pigs
Low inclusion levels of olive cake by-product at growing-finishing diets may improves growth performance and provide healthy fatty acid profile in fat tissues.
