Feed intake restriction and feeding twice or 6 times daily on finishing pigs
Increasing feeding frequency from 2 to 6 times daily increases ADG and feed efficiency of floor-fed, group housed finishing pigs.
Abstracts - Nutrition
Easily fermentable carbohydrates reduce skatole formation in the distal intestine of entire male pigs
Chicory inulin and raw potato starch as ingredients to reduce the boar taint of meat from intact male pigs.
Dietary lysine levels change processed product characteristics of immunologically castrated male pigs
No differences in further processed product characteristics among physically and immunologically castrated male pigs were found.
Metabolic impact of zinc oxide on porcine intestinal cells and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88
The role of zinc oxide in improving piglet health is via a different mechanism to that previously proposed.
Dietary crude protein and phytase-xylanase supplementation of wheat grain based diets affect energy metabolism and enteric methane in growing finishing pigs
A combination of dietary crude protein and P reduction with added phytase is the key to optimize pig production efficiency, while minimizing their environmental impacts.
Dietary calcium level as calcium carbonate does not affect the apparent total tract digestibility of calcium, but reduces digestibility of phosphorus by growing pigs
The greatest values for apparent total tract digestibility of P are obtained when the dietary Ca to P ratio is around 1.1:1.

Conjugated linoleic acid supplementation affect growth, carcass characteristics and fatty acid profiles in growing-finishing pigs
The conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentration in pig tissues increases linearly by the CLA supplementation in diet.
Oral administration of multispecies microbial supplements to sows influences the composition of gut microbiota and fecal organic acids in their post-weaned piglets
Temporal administration of probiotics to pregnant sows has clear effects on the establishment of gut microbiota to piglets after weaning.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emission from swine manure by using a low-protein diet with synthetic amino acids
Under ad libitum feeding, a low crude protein amino acid supplemented diet can reduce N excretion in manure with no impact on animal growth.
Evaluation of the nutritional value of glycerol for nursery pigs
Glycerol can be added in nursery diets up to 10%, while improving pig performance.
Dietary phosphorus affects the development of bone mineral density of pigs
Finisher pigs accumulate area bone mineral density at much higher rates than weaner pigs.
Impact of fermentation of cereals on the degradation of polysaccharides and other macronutrients in the gastrointestinal tract of growing pigs
Fermentation of cereals alters the dietary composition and influences the flow, composition, and ileal digestibility.
Data sheets: raw materials and additives
Technical sheets of the main raw materials and additives used in swine feed. They include a comparison of nutritional values from various sources, product
Effects of type of cereal and fibre level on growth and parameters of the gastrointestinal tract in young pigs
Fermentable carbohydrates as a way to reduce protein fermentation and to promote beneficial microbial populations in piglets fed rice based diets.
Added fat in corn-sorghum based diets: effect on production, carcass and fat quality
Corn can be substituted by sorghum to prevent exceeding softness of fat depots when the energy level of the diet is increased by adding choice white grease.
Evaluation of seaweed derivatives on gastrointestinal fermentation and microbiota in piglets challenged with S. Typhimurium
Consumption of diets containing seaweed-derived extracts does not diminish faecal shedding of Salmonella in post-weaned piglets.
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.
Effect of compensatory growth on forms of glycogen, postmortem proteolysis and meat quality in pigs
Compensatory growth affects metabolism of the animals, although these changes have no impact on meat quality.
Influence of gestation diet on piglet birth weight and glycogen reserves
Diets of sows did not have major impact on glycogen pools or on mobilization of glycogen by piglets.

Growth performance, digestibility and faecal coliform bacteria in weaned piglets fed a diet including either chicory or ribwort
Chicory and ribwort can be included in diets as a fiber source, without negative effects on piglets’ performance.
Effects of tryptophan supplementation on aggression among group-housed gestating sows
Tryptophan supplementation does not reduce aggression in sows at mixing, but increases litter size at farrowing.
Studies on the effects of essential oil-based feed additives on performance, ileal nutrient digestibility and selected bacterial groups in the gastrointestinal tract of piglets
Mixtures of essential oils differ considerably in their effects on growth performance and nutrient digestibility in piglets.
Role of dietary fibre source and meal size on the ileal transit of digesta in growing pigs
Diet fibre content, but not feeding level, affects the rate of digesta passage in pigs.
Use of fermented wheat germ extract: effects on production parameters and immune status of growing pigs
Incorporation of fermented wheat germ extract into pig feeds may improve pig performance during the growing phase.
Effect of source and quantity of dietary vitamin D in maternal and creep diets on bone metabolism and growth in piglets
Offspring of sows provided 25-hydroxycholecalciferol obtained a markedly improved vitamin D status.
