Intermittent suckling affects feeder visiting behaviour in litters with low feed intake
Intermittent suckling (IS) has proven to stimulate creep feed intake in suckling piglets. This paper describes the development of feeding behaviour in three litters with high (H) and three litters with low (L) feed intake during lactation in both control (C) and IS treatment.
Growth performance and nutrient digestibility in pigs fed wheat distillers dried grains with solubles-based diets supplemented with a multicarbohydrase enzyme
The use of a multienzime on wheat DDGS based diets improves nutrient digetibility and growth performance.
Effect of bovine colostrums of 1st, 2nd and 3rd milking on growth performance and the immune system of newly-weaned piglets after an E.coli LPS challenge
The use of freeze dried colostrum in weanling diets may help to reduce inflamatory process improving piglet performance
Dietary supplementation with fish oil increases long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in pubertal gilts
The use of fish oil may improve plasmatic PUFA contents without affecting growth or health
Feeding of pre-pubertal gilts with diets containing aflatoxins or zearalenona
Feeding diets with aflatoxins or zearalenone prejudices performance and stimulates estrogenic effects in gilts.
Oral progestagen and colostrogenesis in primiparous sows
Oral progestagen during gestation may redude colostrum quality
Comparison of different antimicrobial sequences on nursery pig performance and economic return
The use of antibiotics in feed during the nuresery period may improve piglet performance
Incidence of fermentable fibre on piglet performances and health during post‐weaning
The dietary fibre after weaning could be able to constitute an alternative to the use of antibiotic growth promoters. This experiment carried out at INRA and IFIP, aimed to evaluate the effects of fermentable fibre on piglet performance and health during post‐weaning.
Comparative effect of orally administered sodium butyrate before or after weaning on growth and several indices of gastrointestinal biology of piglets
Butyrate administration during the sucking period improve intestinal maturation and physiology
Differences in lean growth performance of pigs sampled from 1980 and 2005 commercial swine fed 1980 and 2005 representative feeding programs
The objective of this study was to assess how changes in genetics and feeding programs over 25 years in the U.S. commercial swine industry have impacted lean growth performance.
The metabolic status during the peri partum period affects the voluntary feed intake and the metabolism of the lactating multiparous sow
This trial was undertaken to investigate the metabolic changes occurring around farrowing and to assess their relationships with feed intake and metabolism of the sow during lactation.
Aggression in replacement grower and finisher gilts fed a short-term high-tryptophan diet and the effect of long-term human–animal interaction
Provision of enhanced TRP diet reduced behavioural activity and aggressiveness of grower gilts, and these results are likely mediated by activation of brain serotonergic system. Short-term high-TRP dietary supplementation may be used to reduce aggression at mixing in young pigs.
Effects of yeast culture supplementation on growth performance, intestinal health, and immune response of nursery pigs
Yeast cultures may represent an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters for weanling piglets.
Performance of growing–finishing pigs fed diets containing a transgenic wheat, a non-transgenic genetically similar wheat, or conventional wheat varieties
Pig performance is not affected by the wheat variety used in the growing-finishing diets
Effects of meal or pellet diet form on finishing pig performance and carcass characteristics
Diet pelleting improves pig performance during the finishing period; however, pellet quality may strongly depend on diet composition
