Limited and excess dietary protein during gestation affects growth and compositional traits in gilts and impairs offspring fetal growth
Gestation diets containing protein at 50 and 250% of recommendations led to marked changes in protein and fat metabolism in gilts resulting in fetal growth retardation of 15%.
New test to improve feed for pig industry
Scientists at the Department of Agriculture and Food in Western Australia are close to developing a new rapid computerised screening tool for pork producers to measure protein quality in imported soybean meal.
Digestibility and feed value of high-protein ingredients for organically reared piglets
From 2012, feeds for organically farmed pigs must consist of 100% organic ingredients. Pea protein concentrate and rapeseed protein concentrate may be attractive high-protein ingredients for piglet feeds. This is the conclusion from research by Wageningen UR Livestock Research into the digestibility and nutritional value of a number of high-protein ingredients for organically farmed weaned piglets.
Consequences of reduced protein supply from weaning to slaughter
The reduction of protein levels from weaning till slaughter, in keeping with the current French recommendations to reduce pollution (CORPEN, 2003), was evaluated in a feeding trial.
Influence of dietary net energy content on performance of growing pigs fed low crude protein diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids
Objective: To investigate the effects of dietary net energy (NE) content on the performance of growing pigs fed low-protein diets supplemented with crystalline amino acids.
Effects of feeding excess dietary crude protein from soybean meal and dried distillers grains with solubles on nursery pig performance
Nursery pigs can tolerate up to 27.5% of CP without affecting performance.
European Union - Scientific Opinion on the revision of the quantitative risk assessment (QRA) of the BSE risk posed by processed animal proteins (PAPs)
Following a request from the European Commission (EC), the Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the revision of the Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) of the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) risk posed by Processed Animal Proteins (PAPs)[1].
Effects of balanced protein level on growth performance and carcass composition of growing-finishing pigs
The successful performance in high lean pigs is strongly related with an accurate crude protein and AA balance.
EAPA Seminar 2010 on Plasma at EuroTier
How does Plasma work? Can it be effectively used under EU conditions? What are experiences of commercial farms?
CRC walana: super pea in the making
A new high yielding, disease resistant field pea released by Australia’s Pork Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for commercial sowing next year offers pork producers a reliable protein source.
Effect of short-term benzoic acid and chlortetracycline treatment of feed on splanchnic metabolism of valine in growing pigs
Microbial deamination does not affect valine availability in growing pigs.
Crude protein in piglet diets
To maximize piglet growth, it is recommended that levels of crude protein be at 20-23% in pre-starters and 18-20% in starters. However, part of that crude protein will not be digested at the end of the ileum, and it will enter the large intestine together with the endogenous waste.
European Union - Feed ban: certain tolerance level of processed animal proteins could be introduced
The success of the European Union's efforts in combating Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSEs), such as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle or scrapie in sheep and goats, allows the EU to contemplate changes in some of its rules.
Inflammation-associated responses in piglets induced with post-weaning colibacillosis are influenced by dietary protein level
Forty piglets (average body weight = 5.32 kg) were used to investigate the effect of dietary crude protein (CP) content on immunological responses following a challenge with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) K88.
Nutritional value of aquatic ferns (Azolla filiculoides Lam. and Salvinia molesta Mitchell) in pigs
Although having a suitable mineral and AA content for swine nutrition, the use of aquatic plants in pig diets is limited by their low energy and crude protein digestibility.
