Keratinase supplementation has a positive effect on the performance of weanling piglets fed corn-soybean diets.

Creep feed initiated from day 5 and 10 reduce diarrhea scores in piglets and the estrus interval in sows.

A reduction in particle size and multi-enzyme supplementation are useful strategies in the post-weaning period, but not in the growing period.

Increasing dietary lysine and energy levels improves growth performance and apparent total tract digestibility of nutrients.

Glutamine supplementation may be useful in reducing the severity of weaning-related gastrointestinal infections.

Supplementation with folic acid in the diets of lactating sows increases milk production, improves milk quality and the performance of piglets.

The preference for the different feed ingredients should be taken into account during diet formulation as well as nutrient composition and ingredients cost.

To evaluate the benefits of induced farrowing with supervision on rates of stillbirths and preweaning mortality,a total of 159 multiparous sows were assigned in approximately equal numbers to two groups.

High levels of acetic acid in fermented liquid feed can impair palatability of piglets.

One of the key components of survival in alternative, loose-housed farrowing systems is maternal behaviour and understanding the characteristics of sows that influence survival in such environments should be an essential component when developing new breeding indices.

Temporal administration of probiotics to pregnant sows has clear effects on the establishment of gut microbiota to piglets after weaning.

Glycerol can be added in nursery diets up to 10%, while improving pig performance.

The aim of this thesis was to explore whether providing piglets with more opportunities to learn from their mother about what, how and where to eat increases food intake before and after weaning and consequently can reduce health and welfare problems after weaning.

Consumption of diets containing seaweed-derived extracts does not diminish faecal shedding of Salmonella in post-weaned piglets.

Diets of sows did not have major impact on glycogen pools or on mobilization of glycogen by piglets.

Chicory and ribwort can be included in diets as a fiber source, without negative effects on piglets’ performance.
