To determine how feeding linseed meal (LSM) during gestation influences litter size, placental weight, and piglet growth, sows (n = 30) received a phytoestrogen-free Control diet throughout gestation; 12.5% LSM diet throughout gestation (LSM114); or 12.5% LSM diet from day 1 to day 15 of gestation and control diet until parturition (LSM15).

The use of fermented liquid feeding may improve dry matter digestibility in pigs.

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of dietary supplementation with rapeseed and linseed oils on changes of the fatty acid profile in porcine meat. The research was conducted on 45 fattening pigs divided into three groups.

Sanguinarine does not affect tryptophan metabolism and this does not improve pig performance.

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of increasing feeding allowance during mid-pregnancy in sows.

Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may affect parturition traits in sows.

The purpose of this study was to determine the occurrence and genotypic relatedness of Salmonella enterica isolates recovered from feed and fecal samples in commercial swine production units.

The PUFA status in newborn piglet is directly related with the use of PUFA enriched diets during gestation and lactation.

An appropriate dietary threonine level is required to maintain mucosal barrier in weanling piglets.

In vitro techniques for starch digestion and glucose release may be a useful tool to predict glucose absorption in pigs.

Mannan-oligosaccharide supplementation may improve mineral digestibility.

Phytase supplementation may reduce the negative impact of phytic acid on the sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 gene expression in piglets .

The use of oat β-glucan may reduce the postprandial glycaemic index.

The use of ingredients with high DF content in sow diets may reduce the physical activity of the sow.

Citrus pulp addition in qualitative feed restriction program may not be effective. As no deleterious effects upon meat qualities were observed, citrus pulp can be used as an alternative feedstuff for finishing swine.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of sow body reserves at weaning and body reserve losses during the first lactation on the second litter size (SLS). A number of 1222 females which reached the second parity without failures such as return to estrus after insemination, abortion or failure to farrow, were analyzed. Measurements of body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BT) and body condition score (BCS) were taken within 24 h after farrowing and on the weaning day.
