Prevention of the disease caused by Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae
Once clinical disease of pleuropneumonia has been confirmed through laboratory examination, prevention measures must be applied.
Benefits of corn co-products from wet milling for pigs
Researchers have reported that using corn co-products from wet milling can be beneficial to pig diets.
Piglets can thrive on sunflower meal
With a novel processing method, feed ingredients like rapeseed cake as well as sunflower meal can be used in piglet feed, as it is better digested
Benefits of extra liquid methionine for sows
Liquid methionine added to diets for lactating sows leads to both more fat and lactose concentration in the milk as well as a better gut absorption of nutrients
Mycotoxin deactivation with natural enzymes
Using enzymes is one of the efficient approaches against the toxic effects of mycotoxins, which transforms the mycotoxin into a non-toxic molecule
Producing pigs without antibiotics, How to do it?
High standards of biosecurity and hygiene are amongst the most important measures needed to achieve pig production that is free from antibiotics use
Pig diets, Porcine plasma or egg yolk antibodies?
With spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP), how is pig performance affected when compared to diets containing egg yolk antibodies? Spanish researchers did a trial.
Healthy sow gut, higher litter weight
Sows have become more productive, resulting in more but vulnerable piglets. Simultaneously, sows endure large body weight losses during lactation.
Fly larvae protein in animal feed
Chances are that most of the meat you consume comes from livestock reared on protein sources such as soya. But there is an urgent need to increase supply
Enzymes make the pelleting process less power consuming
The feed pelleting process consumes a lot of energy. One way to reduce the energy needed is to use enzymes. They are known to speed up reactions
Enhancing pig immunity with yeast additives
The addition of probiotic yeast appears to positively affect the piglet immune status, whether supplied in sow feed or in weaner piglet feed.
Effects of phytogenic feed additives on animal health
Phytogenic substances represent one of the most interesting classes of feed additives. They bear the potential to effectively repress the pathogenicity
