The current pilot study assessed the influence of N,N-dimethylglycine (DMG) on insulin sensitivity, glucose and fat metabolism, nutrient digestibility and reproductive performance of sows in the peripartal period.

The use of mycotoxins absorbents in sever vomitoxin contaminated diets may reduce the negative impact of vomitoxin on piglet performance.

Feeding low CP, AA supplemented diets can help to improve poor growth performance and enteric disorders of the weaned pigs.

Dietary supplementation of n-3 fatty acids during lactation improved the growth of nursing piglets.

Supplementation of HSCAS is effective in preventing the negative effects of dietary aflatoxin in young pigs as measured by growth and serum chemistry parameters. Supplementing with antioxidant does not mitigate most negative physiological effects associated with aflatoxin consumption.

Osmotic resistance of erythrocytes was not altered by increasing amounts of n-3 PUFA, whereas oxidative stability of erythrocytes, as well as oxidative parameters in plasma, were affected.

The aim of this study was to investigate reproductive performance and possible reproductive problems (late estrus, infertility, reasons for culling) in herds with either group‐housed or individually housed pregnant sows. In a second analysis, we evaluated the effects of different group housing systems.

The automatic feed blending system may help to meet nutrient requirements reducing feeding cost during the fattening period.

High amount of dietary vitamin B12 decreases its bioavailability, but could build up whole body reserves.

Feeding grower-finishing pigs diets containing up to 30% DDGS had no adverse effects on growth performance, although up to 20% fat quality may be adversely affected.

The reduction of protein levels from weaning till slaughter, in keeping with the current French recommendations to reduce pollution (CORPEN, 2003), was evaluated in a feeding trial.

The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of increasing levels of dietary soybean meal concentrate and fish meal on the performance of weanling pigs.

The use of mat-feeding and swinging waterers may improve piglet performance.

Feed waste is independent of the through space, but it is seriously affected by feeder adjustment.

AFB1, at the concentrations used for this experiment, affects the animals as shown by the increase in alkaline phosphates and GGT enzymes. Also, the decrease of these enzymes in the group that received the diet containing the absorbent proves the protections of these absorbents.

Prenatal exposure to anisic flavor through the maternal diet reduced weaning-associated problems in piglets and enhanced their health and welfare in the period after weaning.
