Diet and microbiota-gut-brain axis in relation to tail biting in pigs
While tail biting is multifactorial, an imbalance in the microbiota-gut-brain axis, modulated via the diet, should be considered as a pathway for the development of tail biting.

Do increased levels of condensed tannins from sainfoin affect entire male pigs?
The supplementation of feed ingredients containing condensed tannins has no negative impact on growth performance or the carcass characteristics in growing-finishing pigs.
Effect of protein restriction on compensatory growth regulation in pigs
Nursery slow growth driven by protein restriction may be compensated and overcome at the growing-finishing period.
The role of highly digestible protein sources in post-weaning diets without ZnO
Standard digestibility protocols measure digestibility only at the end of the ileum using growing pigs models. Are these protocols valid in newly weaned pigs?
