Altrenogest supplementation during early pregnancy improves swine embryonic development
There is a lack of information about progesterone supplementation during early pregnancy regarding swine embryonic development. The objective was to evaluate the effects of progesterone/progestin supplementation from Day 6 of pregnancy on swine reproductive parameters.
Supplementing sows with a combination of vitamin D3 and 25(OH)D3, effects on dam and progeny vitamin D status and muscle fiber morphometrics
Combining vitamin D3 and 25(OH)D3 in sow diets improves the vitamin D status for both the dams and their offspring.
Nurse sow strategies: Consequences for piglets
Nurse sow strategies do not appear to compromise piglet growth. However, new-born piglets transferred onto sows in late lactation experienced more competition at the udder.

Results show the importance of lactation length on piglets’ BW variability. Weaning at 25.5 d, equivalent to 7 kg BW, optimizes slaughtering pig performance.
Whole yeast product supplementation through gestation and lactation on sow and litter performance
Dietary inclusion of Pichia guilliermondii during gestation may improve prolificity while reducing low body weigh category piglets at birth.
Supplementing with life yeast both sow and piglet diets
Life yeast supplementation during gestation, lactation and nursery periods may lead to a greater piglet growth performance.
