Bump feed for gestating sows is really necessary?

Livestock Science, 2020
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of bump feeding for the final third of gestation on the performance of sows and their litters and on colostrum nutritional quality. Seventy hyperprolific sows of a commercial genetic line were selected according to their reproductive history.

Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of endo‐1,4‐beta‐xylanase produced with Bacillus subtilis LMG S‐15136 (Belfeed B MP/ML) (4a1606i) for all poultry species, suckling and weaned piglets, pigs for fattening, lactating sows and all minor porcine species other than reproductive animals for the renewal of its authorisation and the extension of its use to all Suidae (Puratos NV)

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of the feed additive consisting of endo‐1,4‐beta‐xylanase (produced with Bacillus subtilis LMG S‐15136) (Belfeed B MP/ML) as a zootechnical additive (functional group: digestibility enhancers) in feed for all poultry ...

Genomic Validation of PERV‐C‐Free Pigs to Support Xenotransplantation

Xenotransplantation, Volume 33, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) are present in the germ lines of domesticated pigs (Sus scrofa) and related suids. There are three types of PERVs, PERV‐A, ‐B, and ‐C, which differ in their host range. PERV‐A and ‐B can infect human and porcine cells, while PERV‐C only infects porcine cells. PERV‐A and ‐B are found in the genomes of all

Effects of pre-farrowing sow vaccination against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae on offspring colonisation and lung lesions [PDF]

, 2019
This study investigated Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae colonisation and lung lesions at slaughter in pigs from vaccinated (V) and non-vaccinated (NV) sows, in two herds (A and B). In each herd, two sow batches were V against M.

Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Preterm Infants: An Inflammatory Condition at the Crossroads of Intestinal Immaturity, Dysbiosis, and Nutrition

International Journal of Pediatrics, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains one of the most devastating gastrointestinal emergencies in neonatology, primarily affecting preterm and low‐birthweight infants. Despite advances in neonatal intensive care that have markedly improved survival among these high‐risk populations, NEC continues to be associated with significant morbidity and ...

Numb‐Associated Kinases‐Mediated AP2M1 Activation Facilitates Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Entry

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a major pathogen that poses a considerable threat to the global swine industry, particularly with emerging variants that complicate control efforts. However, the host factors involved in PRRSV entry are not well understood.

Genes involved in carnitine synthesis and carnitine uptake are up-regulated in the liver of sows during lactation [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND:Convincing evidence exist that carnitine synthesis and uptake of carnitine into cells is regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARA), a transcription factor which is physiologically activated during fasting or energy ...

Emergence of a Highly Virulent Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) G2c Subtype in China: Isolation, Genetic and Pathogenic Characterization, and Cross‐Neutralizing Antibody Response

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), an enteropathogenic coronavirus causing high mortality in neonatal piglets, continues to threaten global swine industries. Frequent mutations in the spike (S) protein of PEDV, particularly in emerging variants, have substantially compromised commercial vaccine efficacy.
