Gait and Force Analysis of Provoked Pig Gait on Clean and Fouled Concrete Surfaces [PDF]
, 2009 Gait and force analysis have proven to be useful methods in linking claw injuries to surface material conditions. To determine the relationship between claw disorder and floor properties such as friction and surface abrasiveness, the factors controlling ...

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]
, 2010 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)

Efficacy of a reduced protein diet on clinical expression of post-weaning diarrhoea and life-time performance after experimental challenge with an enterotoxigenic strain of Escherichia coli [PDF]
, 2011 Previous experiments have shown that feeding a reduced protein diet within the first 2 weeks post-weaning reduces gastrointestinal protein fermentation and clinical expression of post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD).

Circular RNA transcriptome analysis responses to heat stress in the hypothalamus of sows
Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2021 Circular RNAs (circRNAs), as miRNA sponges, have been found to participate in transcriptional control and many important biological processes. Heat stress (HS) severely affects feed intake and milk production of sows. However, the expression and function
