Dietary PC content of barley grain based, but not by corn based, diets affects methane produced by finisher pigs
The objective was to study effects of decreasing CP concentration on CH4 production, C retention efficiency and performance by finisher pigs.
Sow litter size is increased in the subsequent parity when lactating sows are fed diets containing omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil
Feeding omega 3 fatty acids as a way to increase the sows’ litter size.
Feed intake restriction and feeding twice or 6 times daily on finishing pigs
Increasing feeding frequency from 2 to 6 times daily increases ADG and feed efficiency of floor-fed, group housed finishing pigs.
Easily fermentable carbohydrates reduce skatole formation in the distal intestine of entire male pigs
Chicory inulin and raw potato starch as ingredients to reduce the boar taint of meat from intact male pigs.
Dietary lysine levels change processed product characteristics of immunologically castrated male pigs
No differences in further processed product characteristics among physically and immunologically castrated male pigs were found.
Metabolic impact of zinc oxide on porcine intestinal cells and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88
The role of zinc oxide in improving piglet health is via a different mechanism to that previously proposed.
Dietary crude protein and phytase-xylanase supplementation of wheat grain based diets affect energy metabolism and enteric methane in growing finishing pigs
A combination of dietary crude protein and P reduction with added phytase is the key to optimize pig production efficiency, while minimizing their environmental impacts.
Dietary calcium level as calcium carbonate does not affect the apparent total tract digestibility of calcium, but reduces digestibility of phosphorus by growing pigs
The greatest values for apparent total tract digestibility of P are obtained when the dietary Ca to P ratio is around 1.1:1.
Conjugated linoleic acid supplementation affect growth, carcass characteristics and fatty acid profiles in growing-finishing pigs
The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentration in pig tissues increases linearly by the CLA supplementation in diet.
Oral administration of multispecies microbial supplements to sows influences the composition of gut microbiota and fecal organic acids in their post-weaned piglets
Temporal administration of probiotics to pregnant sows has clear effects on the establishment of gut microbiota to piglets after weaning.
Effect of biofuel co-products in pig diets on the excretory patterns of N and C and on the subsequent ammonia and methane emissions from pig effluent
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of incorporation into pig diets of 20% of different co-products from the biofuel industries on animal growth performance, on N and carbon C excretions, and on the subsequent ammonia volatilisation and methane production during the storage of slurry.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emission from swine manure by using a low-protein diet with synthetic amino acids
Under ad libitum feeding, a low crude protein amino acid supplemented diet can reduce N excretion in manure with no impact on animal growth.
Evaluation of the nutritional value of glycerol for nursery pigs
Glycerol can be added in nursery diets up to 10%, while improving pig performance.
Impact of fermentation of cereals on the degradation of polysaccharides and other macronutrients in the gastrointestinal tract of growing pigs
Fermentation of cereals alters the dietary composition and influences the flow, composition, and ileal digestibility.
Use of betaine in gilts and sows during lactation: effects on milk quality, reproductive parameters, and piglet performance
Treatment with betaine improve reproductive performance of gilts and sows, and increase body weight gain of the piglets.
