Prenatal exposure to anisic flavor through the maternal diet reduced weaning-associated problems in piglets and enhanced their health and welfare in the period after weaning.

To compare the effects of eucalyptus-medium chain fatty acids (E-MCFAs), zinc oxide (ZnO), and antibiotics on performance, nutrient digestibility, and serum chemistry parameters of nursery pigs, three experiments were conducted.

The potential benefits of Xyn2 in the nutrition of weaned pigs should make it an alternative for industrial xylanase production.

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium was isolated from diarrheic piglets in 2 periods, 2000–2001 (n = 25) and 2005–2006 (n = 17). To compare the characteristics of the isolates collected during the 2 periods, all isolates were tested for antimicrobial resistance, the presence of virulence genes, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns.

Multivariate modelling could be a successful tool to predict starch digestibility in young pigs.

To determine how feeding linseed meal (LSM) during gestation influences litter size, placental weight, and piglet growth, sows (n = 30) received a phytoestrogen-free Control diet throughout gestation; 12.5% LSM diet throughout gestation (LSM114); or 12.5% LSM diet from day 1 to day 15 of gestation and control diet until parturition (LSM15).

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of increasing feeding allowance during mid-pregnancy in sows.

Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may affect parturition traits in sows.

The PUFA status in newborn piglet is directly related with the use of PUFA enriched diets during gestation and lactation.

An appropriate dietary threonine level is required to maintain mucosal barrier in weanling piglets.

Phytase supplementation may reduce the negative impact of phytic acid on the sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 gene expression in piglets .
