NewsDenmark: decreasing piglet mortality
In 2004 piglet mortality averaged 21% and 23% of all piglets born in the first parity of Landrace and Large White sows, respectively. By 2011, these figures have decreased to averagely 15.4% and 16.9%.
Effect of parity and number of suckling piglets on milk production of sows
On average, milk production reached 10.7 kg/day.
Effects of folic acid on the performance of suckling piglets and sows during lactation
Folic acid supplementation during gestation may improve milk production, milk quality and piglet performance.
The influence of vitamin D3 in piglets' growth and health
Oral vitamin D3 did not influence growth performance or bone measurements in this study.
Effects of nutrient supply, plasma metabolites, and nutritional status of sows during transition on performance in the next lactation
Piglet survival and piglet body weight gain may be improved by altering the sow’s nutrient supply during the period from late gestation to lactation.
Australia: Free range pigs now certified
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.
Oleate metabolism in pig enterocytes
The high esterification capacity for oleate in the newborn pig intestine preserves the major colostrum fatty acid for delivery to other tissues.
The use of seaweed extract in piglet diets
Seaweeds are rich in undigestible polysaccharides and are a potential source of soluble dietary fibers. The most abundant polysaccharides in brown seaweeds are laminarin, fucoidan and alginic acid.
Effect of extruded linseed in the sow diet on piglet intestinal barrier function
Incorporation of extruded linseed in the sow diet during gestation and lactation modified the intestinal barrier function of piglet at weaning
Influence of feed complexity on productive performance and nutrient digestibility of weanling pigs
Healthy weanling pigs do not always need an excess of highly digestible ingredients in the diet.
