Correlation between reproductive performance and sow body weight change during gestation

Journal of Animal Science and Technology
This study investigated the correlation between piglet performance and sow body weight change (BWC) during two gestational periods: 35–70, 70–105, and 35–105 days.

Effects of dietary valine:lysine ratios on lactation performance of primiparous sows nursing large litters

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2015
Eighteen sows were used to determine the effect of dietary valine:lysine (val:lys) ratios on lactation performance in primiparous sows and litter performance. Sows, raised in individual pens, were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 experimental diets containing

Individual piglets' contribution to the development of tail biting [PDF]

Conflicting hypotheses exist about the contribution of individual pigs to the development of a tail-biting outbreak, but there is limited quantitative information to support or dismiss them.

Current Trends, Future Prospects and Constraints of Whole Microalgae and Their Fractions as a Functional Feed Ingredient for Animals

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgae are a highly diverse group of unicellular organisms that grow in a wide range of aquatic environments and are widely used as dietary supplements for both human and animal applications. Microalgae are rich in lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and other valuable bioactive components such as pigments, antioxidants and vitamins.

Alternative Protein Sources in Poultry and Pig Nutrition—A Review

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are an essential nutrient for the viability of all animals, enabling organisms to grow, regenerate and defend themselves against pathogenic organisms. Soybean and soybean‐based materials are commonly used to supplement protein in animal nutrition.

Synergistic Benefits of Butyric Acid and Resistant Potato Starch on Growth and Gut Health in Weaned Pigs

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Newly‐weaned piglets face challenges such as reduced feed intake, impaired gut function, and susceptibility to post‐weaning diarrhoea, increasing the need for dietary strategies that support gut health and growth. This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with butyric acid (BA), resistant potato starch (PS), and their ...

Use of stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) in suckling and weaned pig diets [PDF]

Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2003
Four levels of stevia supplementation in the diet of suckling pigs with combination of two feeding methods in weaned pigs were studied. Twenty litters with nine piglets each were allocated to four groups and fed four dietary stevia supplementations (0, 0.

Preweaning mortality in loose-housed lactating sows: Behavioral and performance differences between sows who crush or do not crush piglets [PDF]

, 2007
The majority of piglet deaths occur within the first 72 h after parturition, with crushing by the sow as the most common cause of preweaning mortality. The aim of this study was to compare the behavior and performance of sows that killed piglets (CR) to ...

Early life stress and disruption of the ageing trajectory in female rats: Insights into the origins and mechanisms underlying the risk of hypertension

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Menopause increases the risk of hypertension in women, yet the factors contributing to this important change remain unclear. Because early life stress has persistent and sex‐specific consequences on health, we hypothesized that ageing reveals the latent effects of neonatal maternal separation (NMS) on cardiovascular homeostasis in female rats.

N-(3-Oxododecanoyl)-Homoserine Lactone Induces Intestinal Barrier Damage in Piglets via the Lipid Raft-Mediated Apoptosis Pathway

Veterinary Sciences
Quorum sensing (QS) is a process by which bacteria sense their population density and regulate behavior accordingly. QS not only regulates bacterial virulence but also directly influences host cells.
