A hulless low-phytate barley sample fed to finishing pigs had higher digestible phosphorus, energy and AA contents than regular hulled barley, indicating that use of hulless low-phytate barley in swine diets may have ecological benefit.

A good balance between the four limiting AA and the crude protein content is required for a successful pig growth.

The successful performance in high lean pigs is strongly related with an accurate crude protein and AA balance.

Dietary phosphate content may affect bone integrity in piglets.

Claw lesions may be reduced by trace mineral supplementation of gestation diets.

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 was not affected by lecithin supplementation.

Hulless barley in piglet diets may reduce Salmonella typhimurium transmission among penmates.

The negative impact of high potassium in finishing diets may be reduced by the dietary calcium chloride supplementation.

Sow and litter performance may be improved by dietary yeast cell supplementation.

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.

The use of fermented garlic powder in weanling diet may improve piglet weight gain.

Extrusion and enzyme supplementation may increase the nutritional value of corn.

Microbial deamination does not affect valine availability in growing pigs.

High energy creep feed may enhance piglet performance during the sucking period.

Isoleucine to lysine requirement ratio may not be greater than 50% in piglets fed cereal based diets.
