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 carbohydrase enzyme blends on wheat DDGS based diets may improve nutrient digestibility in pigs
The effect of the method of dietary oil addition to pelleted diets on performance and nutrient digestibility in finishing pigs
The method used for fat addition to the finishing diets does not affect pig performance, digestibility or carcass quality.
L-arginine supplementation of milk liquid or dry diets fed to pigs after weaning has a positive effect on production in the first three weeks after weaning at 21 days of age
Liquid feeding piglets after waning with L-arginine supplemented milk have a positive impact on piglet performance.
Impact of piglet birth weight, birth order and litter size on subsequent growth performance, carcass quality, muscle composition and eating quality of pork
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between birth weight, birth order or litter size on growth performance, carcass quality and eating quality of the ultimate pork product. Data were collected from 98 pig litters and, with the addition of recording birth weight and birth order, farrowing and piglet management were according to normal barn practices.
Effect of the degree and duration of early dietary amino acid restrictions on subsequent and overall pig performance and physical and sensory characteristics of pork
Pork quality is not affected by dietary AA restriction during the growing and fattening period
The effect of adding fibre sources to diets on the volatilisation of ammonia and the production of methane from pig effluents
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the incorporation of 20% of three raw materials rich in fibre (dried distiller's grain solubles, sugar beet pulp and oily rapeseed cake) on animal growth performance, nitrogen and carbon excretions, and ammonia volatilisation and methane production from effluents.
Benefits of synchronizing ovulation with porcine luteinizing hormone in a fixed-time insemination protocol in weaned multiparous sows
Double insemination of multiparous sows, timed to coincide with optimal sow fertility, may improve litter size.
The effect of dietary herbs supplement in sow diets on the course of parturition, stress response and piglets rearing results
Dietary herb supplementation may reduce periparturition stress in sows
Irradiation of feed ingredients added to meal or pelleted diets: effects on growth performance of weanling pigs
Feed ingredient irradiation may be a good technique to reduce microbial concentrations in the diet
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
Associations between dental and oral conditions at weaning and future growth
Tooth eruption and condition at weaning are associated with future weight gain. Herd premolar eruption and occlusion status changes over time.
Effects of dietary astaxanthin on the growth performance and carcass characteristics of finishing pigs
The use of astaxanthin during the finish phase may improve pork quality and meat acceptance.
Impact of the non castration of male pigs on growth performance and behaviour − comparison with barrows and gilts
Growth performance, carcass quality, behaviour and general condition of crossbred (Pietrain x Large White) x (Large White x Landrace) boars, barrows and gilts were compared from a batch of pigs fed ad libitum and group‐housed both during the postweaning (eight‐nine pigs/pen) and the fattening (six pigs/pen) periods. Pigs were all slaughtered on the same day.
