Short Communication: The effects of physical feed properties on gastric emptying in pigs measured with the 13C breath test

Animal, 2020
The performance of pigs is affected by the rate of nutrient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, which depends in turn strongly on the rate of stomach emptying.

Jejunal morphology and blood metabolites in tail biting, victim and control pigs

Animal, 2013
Tail biting has several identified feeding-related risk factors. Tail biters are often said to be lighter and thinner than other pigs in the pen, possibly because of nutrition-related problems such as reduced feed intake or inability to use nutrients ...

Systems to Monitor the Individual Feeding and Drinking Behaviors of Growing Pigs Based on Machine Vision

Agriculture, 2022
Feeding and drinking behaviors are important in pig breeding. Although many methods have been developed to monitor them, most are too expensive for pig research, and some vision-based methods have not been integrated into equipment or systems.

Prandial Correlations and Structure of the Ingestive Behavior of Pigs in Precision Feeding Programs

Animals, 2021
The feeding behavior of growing-finishing pigs was analyzed to study prandial correlations and the probability of starting a new feeding event. The data were collected in real-time based on 157,632 visits by a group of 70 growing-finishing pigs (from 30 ...

Effects of expanded diets and phase feeding programme on growth performance, carcass traits and meat quality in growing-finishing pigs

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2018
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of expanded diets and phase feeding programmes in growing-finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, a total of 72 pigs (25.88 ± 1.34 kg) were randomly allotted to 3 dietary treatments: (1) unexpanded corn–wheat ...

The impact of daily multiphase feeding on animal performance, body composition, nitrogen and phosphorus excretions, and feed costs in growing–finishing pigs

Animal, 2014
The effect of feeding pigs in a three-phase feeding (3PF) system or a daily-phase feeding (DPF) system on growth performance, body composition, and N and P excretions was studied on 8 pens of 10 pigs each.

Fate of transgenic DNA from orally administered Bt MON810 maize and effects on immune response and growth in pigs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
We assessed the effect of short-term feeding of genetically modified (GM: Bt MON810) maize on immune responses and growth in weanling pigs and determined the fate of the transgenic DNA and protein in-vivo.

Quantifying the consequences of nutritional strategies aimed at decreasing phosphorus excretion from pig populations: a modeling approach

Animal, 2016
There is a global imperative to reduce phosphorous (P) excretion from pig systems. In this study, a previously validated deterministic model was modified to be stochastic, in order to investigate the consequences of different management strategies on P ...

Toward better estimates of the real-time individual amino acid requirements of growing-finishing pigs showing deviations from their typical feeding patterns

Animal, 2020
Pigs exposed to stressors might change their daily typical feeding intake pattern. The objective of this study was to develop a method for the early identification of deviations from an individual pig’s typical feeding patterns.
