Interest in incorporating insect meal in piglet feed
All livestock sectors are seeking to reduce imports of raw protein materials. Insect meals belong to the category of concentrated protein sources, but their nutritional characteristics are poorly documented and attempts to incorporate them into swine feed have been the subject of few publications.
Denmark improves piglet survival rate
Piglet mortality has been reduced by almost one percent.
The effect of sugary and salty former food products in pig diets on energy and nutrient digestibility, growth performance and carcass composition
Sugary and salty former food products as a feed ingredient alternative in gowing-finishing diets for pigs.
The impact of dried cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) waste meal as feed in growing-finishing pigs
Dried cabbage by-product may be a suitable ingredient for growing-finishing diets to improve sustainability and return.
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.
Low-protein diets supplemented with sodium dichloroacetate and glucose: the effect on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality of growing-finishing pigs
Low-protein diets supplemented with sodium dichloroacetate and glucose may improve muscle protein deposition in growing-finishing pigs.
The effect of dietary 25-hydroxycholecalciferol on gut microbiota modulation, growth, meat quality and antioxidant status of growing-finishing pigs
Dietary 25-hydroxycholecalciferol supplementation may improve carcass and bone quality in growing-finishing pigs.
AgriSyst launches the world's first independent benchmark on weaners for its customers
Independent and up-to-date biological and economic benchmark figures are available on weaners for the first time.
Non-productive days or inefficient days?
We propose a more direct indicator to look at and analyze reproductive problems on the farm.
Evaluation of multi-carbohydrase and phytase complex dietary addition on nutrient digestibility, growth performance, and bone mineralization in growing-finishing pigs
Multi-enzymes supplementation may improve nutrient digestibility, bone mineralization, and growth performance in fattening pigs.
The effects of glycine supplementation on mucosal immunity and the intestinal microbial composition in weaned piglets
Glycine supplementation improves the intestinal immunological barrier function and the microbial composition in weanling piglets.
