The Optimal Valine to Lysine Ratio for Performance Parameters in Weaned Piglets
(MDPI, 2021-04-27)
The optimal digestible (d) Valine (Val) to d Lysine (Lys) ratio (dVal:dLys) in weaned
piglets was determined using two different regression models. A total of 200 piglets were allotted to
five feeding ...
Eicosapentaenoic acid- and docosahexaenoic acid-rich fish oil in sow and piglet diets modifies blood oxylipins and immune indicators in both, sows and suckling piglets
(Elsevier, 2022-10-03)
Over the last decades, genetic selection has increased sows’ litter size. Consequently, there is a high proportion of piglets born with low weight which are vulnerable. Their viability may potentially ...
The effect of feeder system and diet on welfare, performance and meat quality, of growing-finishing Iberian × Duroc pigs under high environmental temperatures
(Elsevier, 2020-02-12)
The present study investigated the replacement of 5% of starch (ST) by 5% of sunflower oil (SO), with or without feed restriction, in the diet of growing-finishing Iberian × Duroc pigs exposed to heat ...
Impact of feed additives and host-related factors on bacterial metabolites, mucosal integrity and immune response in the ileum of broilers
(Springer, 2023-05-09)
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of age, breed, and sex of broilers, as well as a probiotic or phytobiotic product on mucosal morphology, bacterial metabolites, and immune traits in the ...
Alterations in bacterial metabolites, cytokines, and mucosal integrity in the caecum of broilers caused by feed additives and host-related factors
(Frontiers Media, 2022-09-12)
A total of 2,880 one-day-old male and female broiler chicks from two breeds, Ross308 and Cobb500 were randomly assigned to 72 pens. Broilers were offered three diets: a wheat-soybean diet without (CO), ...
Selection of reference samples for updating multivariate calibration models used in the analysis of pig faeces
(Elsevier, 2022-12-30)
Monitoring and updating calibration models are common tasks when analytical methods are based on nearinfrared spectroscopy. This work describes a situation in which a PLS calibration model that is used ...
Novel strategies to improve chicken performance and welfare by unveiling host-microbiota interactions through hologenomics
(Frontiers Media, 2022-09-06)
Fast optimisation of farming practices is essential to meet environmental sustainability challenges. Hologenomics, the joint study of the genomic features of animals and the microbial communities ...
Effects of Exogenous 6-Phytase (EC 3.1.3.26) Supplementation on Performance, Calcium and Phosphorous Digestibility, and Bone Mineralisation and Density in Weaned Piglets
(MDPI, 2021-06-15)
Phosphorus (P) is an essential mineral for growing piglets, which is poorly accessible in vegetable feedstuffs as it is stored as phytates. Thus, phytase supplementation is essential to increase P ...
Effects of added phytase on growth performance, carcass traits, and tibia ash of broiler chickens fed diets with reduced amino acid, crude protein, and phosphorus concentration
(Elsevier, 2022-03-31)
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of phytase supplementation in diets reduced in amino acids (AA), crude protein (CP), and phosphorus (P) on growth performance, carcass traits, and ...
A Novel Bacterial 6-Phytase Improves Growth Performance, Tibia Mineralization and Precaecal Digestibility of Phosphorus in Broilers: Data from Four Independent Performance Trials
(MDPI, 2023-07-27)
A series of four broiler performance studies were conducted in different facilities to investigate the efficacy of a novel bacterial 6-phytase added at 500 FTU/kg diet on growth performance,
bone ...
