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.
Viability of Lactobacillus plantarum in different protective agents and its effects on growth performance and immunity of weaned pigs
The use of Lactobacillus plantarum as a probiotic, may improve growth performance and immunity in piglets.
Lactose in diet influences the degradation of mixed linked β(1-3;1-4)-D-glucan in the small intestine of pigs
Slowly digestible lactose may reduce β-glucan digestibility in piglet diets.
The effect of supplementing dry feed with a nutritional gel additive at the time of vaccination on nursery pig behaviour
A nutritional gel supplementation reduces the negative impact of vaccination on piglet behaviour.
Efficacy of potassium bicarbonate for prevention of fatigue in market pigs
Low effect of potassium bicarbonate on pig acidosis produced by pre-slaughter handling.
Effects of dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on the performance of weaning pigs
Lactose content in piglet diets may be a key factor for a successful weaning performance.
Effects of tannic acid supplementation on growth performance, blood hematology, iron status and faecal microflora in weanling pigs
Tannic acid in weanling diets may have a negative impact on piglet performance.
The evaluation of feeding lactating sows on grams of lysine compared to percent of lysine in the diet
Formulating a sow diet based on percent lysine is only effective when total feed intake is known.
Presence of pharmacological quantities of Zn as a dose does not stimulate growth
The excess of ZnO in weanling diets may have a negative impact on growth performance.
Threonine requirement of sows in early, mid- and late gestation
Current NRC (1998) recommendations for amino acids (AA) do not account for different requirements in early vs late gestation due to changes in metabolism; recovery of body tissue from previous lactation, and fetal, gut and mammary growth in late gestation. These increases in gut and mammary tissue and gut mucin suggest that there is a higher requirement for threonine (THR) in late gestation.
Iron and Zinc bioavailabilities to pigs from red and white beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are similar
Phaseolus vulgaris L. may be a good source of Fe and Zn for pigs.
