The presence of secondary metabolites in the diet like fumonisin may compromise intestinal physiology and enzyme activity in weanling piglets.

Dietary L-Arginine supplementation may negatively affect gilt reproductive performance.

Immune response or triglyceride and cholesterol levels in plasma are influenced by the fat source fed rather than the level of vitamin E in weanling pig.

The use of chia seed in the finishing swine diets may change the fatty acid profil of pork.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and fecal microbial populations.

Dietary glycyl-glutamine supplementation may alleviate the negative effects on growth and on the inmune system of a challege in early weaned piglets.

The objective of this study was to determine a possible relationship between Mulberry Heart Disease (MHD) and the levels of vitamin E, selenium, and 13 other minerals, in heart and liver tissues, as well as to carry out PCR tests on heart tissues in order to determine the existence of a possible relationship between viral pathogens and MHD.

Amino acid digestibility and concentration of digestible and metabolizable energy in soybean meal produced from conventional, high-protein, or low-oligosaccharide varieties of soybeans and fed to growing pigs

Forty piglets (average body weight = 5.32 kg) were used to investigate the effect of dietary crude protein (CP) content on immunological responses following a challenge with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88.

Although having a suitable mineral and AA content for swine nutrition, the use of aquatic plants in pig diets is limited by their low energy and crude protein digestibility.

Liquid feeding during lactation may increase feed intake without affecting piglet performance

Dietary phytase addition to liquid feeding weanling piglets may improve nutrient digestibility, bone strength and mineralization

The excess of Leucine in piglet diets may affect the catabolism branched-chain amino acids limiting their availability

The use of a carbohydrase enzyme blends on wheat DDGS based diets may improve nutrient digestibility in pigs

Feed-borne spread of Salmonella spp. to pigs has been documented several times in recent years in Sweden. Experiences from the field suggest that feed-associated serotypes might be less transmittable and subsequently easier to eradicate from pig herds than other serotypes more commonly associated to pigs.

This study was designed to investigate the influence of a high level of feeding during early gestation on embryonic survival and variability of embryonic development in hyperprolific LW gilts.
