The effect of feeding increased levels of amino acids in heavy and medium weight nursery pigs on pig performance
A good balance between the four limiting AA and the crude protein content is required for a successful pig growth.

Effects of balanced protein level on growth performance and carcass composition of growing-finishing pigs
The successful performance in high lean pigs is strongly related with an accurate crude protein and AA balance.
Phosphate status impacts bone integrity and stem cell proliferation in neonatal pigs
Dietary phosphate content may affect bone integrity in piglets.
Evaluation of the effect of supplementing complex trace minerals on the development of claw lesions in stall-housed sows
Claw lesions may be reduced by trace mineral supplementation of gestation diets.
Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality
This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.
Fat digestibility in enzymatically treated soybean meal without and with choice white grease and vegetable oil
Fat digestibility was not affected by lecithin supplementation.
Differences in carbohydrate composition of barley varieties influence Salmonella transmission among pen mate weaned piglets
Hulless barley in piglet diets may reduce Salmonella typhimurium transmission among penmates.
Calcium chloride reduces the negative impact of feeding high potassium and co-product containing diets to finishing pigs
The negative impact of high potassium in finishing diets may be reduced by the dietary calcium chloride supplementation.
Effect of supplementing Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product in sow diets on reproductive performance in a commercial environment
Sow and litter performance may be improved by dietary yeast cell supplementation.
Influence of photoperiod on the behavior and performance of newly weaned pigs with a focus on time spent at the feeder, feed disappearance, and growth
Feed disappearance on the day after weaning tends to be greater in pigs housed in a prolonged photoperiod. Nevertheless, prolonging the photoperiod during the first 4 days after weaning does not influence feed disappearance or body weight gain over the entire nursery phase.
Effects of fermented garlic powder on growth performance and blood profiles of weanling pigs
The use of fermented garlic powder in weanling diet may improve piglet weight gain.
Corn extrusion and enzyme addition improves digestibility of corn/soy based diets by pigs: In vitro and in vivo studies
Extrusion and enzyme supplementation may increase the nutritional value of corn.
Effect of short-term benzoic acid and chlortetracycline treatment of feed on splanchnic metabolism of valine in growing pigs
Microbial deamination does not affect valine availability in growing pigs.
Effects of dietary creep feeding on performance, blood characteristics and behaviour in sows and piglets
High energy creep feed may enhance piglet performance during the sucking period.
The standardized ileal digestible isoleucine to lysine requirement ratio may not be greater than 50% in post-weaned piglets
Isoleucine to lysine requirement ratio may not be greater than 50% in piglets fed cereal based diets.
Whole-body growth, carcass growth and primal mass as indices of lysine adequacy in high lean growth pigs
Lysine requirements based on whole body growth may have a negative impact on carcass and primal mass yield.
