The effects of feeder space and adjustment on growth performance of finishing pigs
Feed waste is independent of the through space, but it is seriously affected by feeder adjustment.

Influence of dietary net energy content on performance of growing pigs fed low crude protein diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids
Objective: To investigate the effects of dietary net energy (NE) content on the performance of growing pigs fed low-protein diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids.
Effect of probiotic-, bacteriophage-, or organic acid-supplemented feeds or fermented soybean meal on the growth performance, acute-phase response, and bacterial shedding of grower pigs challenged with Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium
Lactobacillus plantarum, microencapsulated organic acids or fermented soybean meal may be taken into account as antimicrobial alternatives for piglet diets.
Effects of cracked corn on growth performance and stomach lesions in finishing pigs
The use of cracked corn in finishing diets may reduce the scores for stomach lesions.
Reproductive performance of sows is affected by the dietary omega‐6 to omega‐3 fatty acid ratio
An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of the omega‐6 (n‐6) to omega‐3 (n‐3) fatty acid ratio in sow diets on reproductive performance and immunoglobulin profiles in sow colostrum and piglet serum.
Effects of feeding excess dietary crude protein from soybean meal and dried distillers grains with solubles on nursery pig performance
Nursery pigs can tolerate up to 27.5% of CP without affecting performance.
Use of a micro-encapsulated eucalyptus-medium chain fatty acid product as an alternative to zinc oxide and antibiotics for weaned pigs
To compare the effects of eucalyptus-medium chain fatty acids (E-MCFAs), zinc oxide (ZnO), and antibiotics on performance, nutrient digestibility, and serum chemistry parameters of nursery pigs, three experiments were conducted.
Invited Review: Management and feeding strategies to ameliorate the impact of removing antibiotic growth promoters from diets fed to weanling pigs. Canadian Journal of Animal Science
A review of the literature was conducted with the objective of identifying management and feeding strategies for weanling pigs that are effective in reducing the negative impacts of discontinued use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) in diets fed to weanling pigs.
The effects of diet form and feeder design on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of growing-finishing pigs
Pellet quality is a key factor on the reduction of feed wastage.
Effect of replacing fishmeal with crystalline amino acids on growth performance of nursery pigs from 7 to 11 kg
A good amino acid balance by supplementing crystalline amino acids may substitute fishmeal from weanling diets without affecting performance.
Amino acid digestibility and energy concentration in a novel source of high-protein distillers dried grains and their effects on growth performance of pigs
HP-DDG may replace soybean meal in the diets fed to finishing pigs without affecting performance.
Sanguinarine does not influence availability or metabolism of tryptophan in pigs
Sanguinarine does not affect tryptophan metabolism and this does not improve pig performance.
The influence of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the feed of the sow on parturition characteristics and piglet viability
Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may affect parturition traits in sows.
United Kingdom - British pig production still lags behind
Despite improvements in daily liveweight gain and pigs finished per sow, Britain still lags behind its European competition in the production stakes.
The latest figures from the BPEX publication on international cost of production show Britain produced 1643kg pig meat per sow in 2009 – the lowest of all the EU countries.
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.
Effects of space allocation on growth performance and immune system in weaning pigs
Stress caused by reduced space allocation may disrupt the cellular immune system in piglets and stimulate the releases of cortisol.
