Australian pork producers can now attain Free Range Certification under a newly developed, on-farm, free range standard, within the APIQ program.
Metabolic effects of dietary sugar beet pulp or wheat bran in growing female pigs
Wheat bran increases the capacity of the intestine for oxidative metabolism and sugar beet pulp induces a repartitioning of body lipid stores.
Blood variables and body weight gain on the first day of life in crossbred pigs and importance for survival
Several blood variables recorded at birth and on d 1 and BW gain on d 1 were highly associated with survival at weaning.
