Lactose in diet influences the degradation of mixed linked β(1-3;1-4)-D-glucan in the small intestine of pigs
Slowly digestible lactose may reduce β-glucan digestibility in piglet diets.
Effect of piglet birth weight on survival and quality of commercial market swine
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of individual piglet birth weight on mortality and pig quality in a U.S. commercial production system.
Canada - Research investment will benefit swine producers
The Government of Canada is investing in an innovative project that will benefit Canadian swine producers and consumers. Coop fédérée will receive up to $80,000 to study and develop feeding recommendations to maximize sow milk production through gestation, ensuring optimal growth of suckling piglets.
Effects of tannic acid supplementation on growth performance, blood hematology, iron status and faecal microflora in weanling pigs
Tannic acid in weanling diets may have a negative impact on piglet performance.
Denmark/Holland – Increase in piglet exports
The latest information on piglet exports for Denmark and Holland show an increase of 8,04% in Holland during the first 8 months of the year and 6,09% in Denmark during the first 7 months.
Presence of pharmacological quantities of Zn as a dose does not stimulate growth
The excess of ZnO in weanling diets may have a negative impact on growth performance.
The evaluation of feeding lactating sows on grams of lysine compared to percent of lysine in the diet
Formulating a sow diet based on percent lysine is only effective when total feed intake is known.
Dynamics and longevity of maternally-acquired antibodies to Taenia solium in piglets born to naturally infected sows
The observed variations in the level of maternally-acquired Abs amongst piglets will pose a major challenge to the implementation of vaccination programmes against T. solium cysticercosis.
Administration of Pediococcus acidilactici or Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii modulates development of porcine mucosal immunity and reduces intestinal bacterial translocation after Escherichia coli challenge
Porcine mucosal immune response against E coli may be modulated by dietary probiotic supplementation.
Supplemental zinc reduced intestinal permeability by enhancing occluding and zonula occludens protein-1 (ZO-1) expression in weaning piglets
The use of pharmacological Zn doses in weanling diets for piglets may reduce intestinal permeability against potential pathogens.
Playing and fighting by piglets around weaning on farms, employing individual or group housing of lactating sows
We assessed how piglets play, fighting and biting behaviour before and after weaning were affected by the housing system and weaning age as well as how the three behaviours are related to each other and piglet post-weaning weight gain.
Germany – Increase in numbers of slaughter hogs and piglets
Although the German pig herd has shrunk over the past couple of years, German producers are importing increasing numbers of slaughter hogs and piglets from other countries, in particular Denmark.
Effects of dietary glycyl-glutamine on growth performance, small intestinal integrity, and immune responses of weaning piglets challenged with lipopolysaccharide
Dietary glycyl-glutamine supplementation may alleviate the negative effects on growth and on the inmune system of a challege in early weaned piglets.
Quick test shows gut flora in piglets
When piglets are weaned from milk to solid food, their intestinal flora change, with a steep rise in the numbers of potentially harmful streptococci.
This finding has come out of research done by Odette Pérez Gutiérrez, who developed a micro-array called the PIT (pig intestinal tract) chip with which she can quickly scan six hundred different types of bacteria on a glass slide in the lab.
Comparison between computerised liquid feeding and ad libitum dry feeding for sows during lactation
Liquid feeding during lactation may increase feed intake without affecting piglet performance
