The protein-to-energy ratio is a main driver of growth performance in piglets
Independently of the nature of the nutrient promoting imbalance, dietary protein-to-energy ratio may determine post-weaning piglet performance

Spray-dried animal plasma on weanling pigs administered a PCV2 and M. hyopneumoniae vaccine strategy
Early administration of spray-dried animal plasma may stimulate feed intake in weanling pigs.
Effects of dietary spray-dried egg on growth performance and health of weaned pigs
The addition of spray-dried egg in piglet’s diet may improve improving health and growth rate.
Limited and excess protein intake of pregnant gilts affects body composition and newborn and weanling development in piglets
Dietary protein level during pregnancy may affect fetal and piglet development.
Intrauterine growth retarded progeny of pregnant sows fed high protein:low carbohydrate
Dietary protein:carbohydrate ratio of the diet may affect fetal growth sow’s during pregnancy.
Response of young pigs to feeding potato protein and potato fibre
While potato protein concentrate is well utilized by piglets, potato fibre does not reveal evident health promoting effects.
Effects of protein intakes of pregnant gilts on carcass quality and skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in fattening pigs
Maternal low protein diet impairs prenatal myofiber formation, reducing the potential of postnatal lean growth.
Apparent and standardized ileal digestibilities of AA for pigs fed diets at varying crude protein levels
The dietary protein content also affects the standardized ileal digestibility of most amino acids.
Modification of selected bacteria and markers of protein fermentation in pigs upon consumption of chitosan is accompanied by heightened manure odor emissions
Lactic-acid bacteria can modulate manure odor emissions, regardless of fermentable protein availability.
Viscosity and fermentability of dietary fibre affect nutrient digestibility and digesta characteristics in grower pigs
High-viscous, low-fermentable dietary fibre increases the proportion of a diet that is digested in the small intestine.
Effects of pig genotype on nutrient digestibility, relative organ weight and small intestine structure
The strategy of this study was to test the effects of pig genotype and crude protein (CP) supply on performance, digestive utilization of nutrients, relative organ weight and morphometric analysis of the small intestine.
Dietary protein/carbohydrate ratio affects on fat deposition and gene expression of finishing pigs
An increase in intramuscular fat in pigs fed low protein diets is related to tissue-specific activation of gene expression.
Feed preference in pigs: Effect of selected protein, fat, and fiber sources at different inclusion rates
The preference for the different feed ingredients should be taken into account during diet formulation as well as nutrient composition and ingredients cost.
Dietary PC content of barley grain based, but not by corn based, diets affects methane produced by finisher pigs
The objective was to study effects of decreasing CP concentration on CH4 production, C retention efficiency and performance by finisher pigs.
Effects of two protein and fibre sources on SCFA concentration in pig large intestine
Importance of a proper balance between carbohydrates and nitrogen to obtain an optimal SCFA profile in large intestine.
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%.
