PSII-3 Effect of environmental enrichment on pig average daily feed intake and average daily gain in the early nursery phase [PDF]
J Anim SciAbstract Transition from the sow to nursery is a stressful time for pigs and commonly leads to negative impacts on pig health, welfare, and lifetime performance. The objective of this study was to determine if the addition of a biologically relevant enrichment device affected average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI ...

Associations of mucosal disaccharidase kinetics and expression in the jejunum of steers with divergent average daily gain. [PDF]
J Anim Sci, 2020 Abstract The objective of this study was to quantify the differences in the activity of jejunal maltase and isomaltase between two groups of steers with average dry matter intake (DMI) and differing average daily gain (ADG). DMI and ADG were measured in crossbred steers (n = 69; initial body weight = 456 ± 5.0 kg) consuming a finishing ...
