Effects of Different Crude Protein and Dietary Fiber Levels on the Comparative Energy and Nutrient Utilization in Sows and Growing Pigs

Animals, 2020
This study was conducted to determine and compare digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable energy (ME) values and the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of energy and nutrients in eight ingredients fed to both growing pigs and sows.

Effects of fermentable starch and straw-enriched housing on energy partitioning of growing pigs [PDF]

, 2008
Both dietary fermentable carbohydrates and the availability of straw bedding potentially affect activity patterns and energy utilisation in pigs. The present study aimed to investigate the combined effects of straw bedding and fermentable carbohydrates ...

Effects of dietary fibre on behaviour and satiety in pigs [PDF]

, 2008
During the past decades there has been considerable interest in the use of dietary fibre in both animal and human nutrition. In human subjects dietary fibre has been studied intensively for possible effects on body-weight management and health. In animal

Effect of complex probiotics and non-starch polysaccharide on growth performance and serum biochemical parameters of growing pigs

Siliao yanjiu, 2022
The experiment was to explore the effect of different levels of compound probiotics and non-starch polysaccharide enzymes added to diet on growth performance and serum biochemical indexes of growing pigs. A total of 160 healthy growing and finishing pigs

Postprandial plasma amino acid and metabolite kinetics of adult and growing pigs fed a diet with a balanced or unbalanced amino acid profile

Animal, 2022
Feeding diets with an unbalanced amino acid (AA) profile can reduce the postprandial AA utilization for protein synthesis. Growing pigs use dietary AA mainly for protein accretion, whereas non-lactating and non-pregnant adult pigs use AA mainly for ...

A Methodology to Quantify Resilience in Growing Pigs [PDF]

, 2021
There is a growing concern about the genetic determinism of resilience and its possible implementation in breeding programs. The objective of our study was to elaborate novel resilience indicators in growing pigs based on the deviation from the expected ...

Quantitative assessment of the effects of space allowance, group size and floor characteristics on the lying behaviour of growing-finishing pigs [PDF]

, 2010
To obtain quantitative information that can be later used in animal welfare modelling, the relationship between the lying behaviour of growing-finishing pigs (initial body weight (BW) between 19 and 87 kg) and different factors related to the housing ...

Effect of tannin supplementation on nitrogen digestibility and retention in growing pigs

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
Two levels (0.25% and 0.5%) of water soluble chestnut tannin were added to the diet of growing pigs in a 40 days feeding trial, from the average body weight of 76kg up to about 110kg. As expected, a significant depression of the apparent digestibility of
