Effects of extra feeding in mid-pregnancy for three successive parities on lean sows’ productive performance and longevity
The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of increasing feeding allowance during mid-pregnancy in sows.

Body reserve mobilization during lactation in first parity sows and its effect on second litter size
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of sow body reserves at weaning and body reserve losses during the first lactation on the second litter size (SLS). A number of 1222 females which reached the second parity without failures such as return to estrus after insemination, abortion or failure to farrow, were analyzed. Measurements of body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BT) and body condition score (BCS) were taken within 24 h after farrowing and on the weaning day.
Planning weaning (I): How many sows should I wean?
Deciding which sows are going to be weaned on weaning day is an important task that should be examined well.
Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality
This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.
Effects of dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on the performance of weaning pigs
Lactose content in piglet diets may be a key factor for a successful weaning performance.
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.
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.
Evaluation of the effect of increasing dietary vitamin E in combination with different fat sources on performance, humoral immune responses and antioxidant status of weaned pigs
Immune response or triglyceride and cholesterol levels in plasma are influenced by the fat source fed rather than the level of vitamin E in weanling pig.
Effects of dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on the performance of weaning pigs
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and fecal microbial populations.
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.
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
Body weight gain and nutrient utilization in starter pigs that are liquid-fed high-moisture corn-based diets supplemented with phytase
Dietary phytase addition to liquid feeding weanling piglets may improve nutrient digestibility, bone strength and mineralization
Organization of the replacements IV
Another convenient option for controlling the replacement entry is to incorporate the information on the breeding chart.
Nutritional value of high-fat oats fed to weaned pigs
High-fat oats may be a suitable feed ingredient for weanling diets.
L-arginine supplementation of milk liquid or dry diets fed to pigs after weaning has a positive effect on production in the first three weeks after weaning at 21 days of age
Liquid feeding piglets after waning with L-arginine supplemented milk have a positive impact on piglet performance.
Early weaning reduces small intestinal alkaline phosphatase expression in pigs
Early weaning decreased small intestinal IAP Vcap, IAP catalytic affinity, and IAP gene expression, and this may in part contribute to the susceptibility of early-weaned piglets to increased occurrence of enteric diseases and growth-check.
