The effect of different fiber sources in antibiotic-free diets on growth, immune responses, intestinal barrier function and microbiota in weaned piglets
The supplementation of wheat bran to antibiotic-free diets improves performance and intestinal health in weaned pigs.
Effect of postweaning feed intake on performance, intestinal morphology, and the probability of diarrhea in piglets
From their respective academic and on-farm perspectives, Josep Gasa and Josep Casanovas comment on a recent study about the effect of postweaning feed intake.
Effects of providing sensory attractants to suckling pigs during lactation and after weaning on post-weaning growth performance
Environmental enrichment with cubes appears to have the greatest effect when applied post-weaning whereas flavor attractants appear to have the greatest effect when applied both pre- and post-weaning.
Acute and persistent oral glutamine supplementation and its impact on low and normal birthweight pre-weaning piglets
Glutamine supplementation may enhance pre-weaning piglet performance.
Flavor in diets: Effect on sow feed intake, lactation performance, and subsequently weaned pig nursery performance
Feed flavor supplementation may enhance sow feed intake and improve piglet performance in hot seasons but not in winter conditions.

The evolution of multi-site pig production over the last 25 years has not held true to its original intent.
Reproductive performance of gilts and weaned sows grouped at different days after insemination
Group housing gestating sows 2 days after breeding compromised litter size; however, mixing gilts on days 1 to 4 after breeding did not impair reproductive performance.
Risk factors differ for viable and low viable crushed piglets in free farrowing pens
Results show the importance of differentiating between low viable and viable crushed piglets for the interpretation of risk factors for crushing losses.
