Effect of a direct-fed microbial (Eubios 1090) in the presence of antibiotics (Carbadox or CTC-Denagard) on post-weaning pig growth performance and immune response [PDF]
A study was conducted to determine the effects of a probiotic (Eubios 1090), in the presence of two different antibiotics, on performance in nursery pigs. A total of 216 pigs were weaned at an average of 21 d, blocked by initial body weight (BW = 6.79 kg)

microRNA expression patterns associated with average daily weight gain in Kangal
Aim: This study aimed to identify miRNAs expressed in Kangal Akkaraman lambs and to identify miRNAs that may be associated with average daily weight gain (ADWG). Materials and Methods: According to their ADWG, lambs were separated into two groups: those with ADWGs between 270-412 g (mean:323 g) were considered to have high daily gain (HDG) and those ...

Modelling the consequences of targeted selective treatment strategies on performance and emergence of anthelmintic resistance amongst grazing calves [PDF]
The development of anthelmintic resistance by helminths can be slowed by maintaining refugia on pasture or in untreated hosts. Targeted selective treatments (TST) may achieve this through the treatment only of individuals that would benefit most from ...

Impact of Teat Order on Feed Consumption in Swine from Birth to Nursery [PDF]
A relationship between teat order and feed consumption has been assumed in pigs, but no study has looked at this exact relationship. Pigs were observed shortly after birth to be in either a cranial, middle, or caudal teat positon. Growth performance data
