Pharmacological levels of Zn in early nursery pig diets reduce the instance of post-weaning diarrhea and improve performance. However, there are growing concerns with pharmacological levels of Zn and much attention has been directed toward strategies to lower dietary Zn without negatively impacting performance. Diet acid-binding capacity-4 (ABC-4) could be an option to formulate low Zn diets. Dietary ABC-4 is the hydrochloric acid required to reach a pH of 4. The young pig has a limited...

APIs MARKET Pre-festival stocking-up was generally completed in mid-to-late January. Some two weeks before the holiday, including the early part of this month, the market has no actual trading activity. The market has a strong wait-and-see sentiment and lacks sustained positive support. After returning from the holiday, the sales rhythm of the veterinary API market has not yet fully recovered, and the market activity and scale have not returned to normal levels. Some leading...

Young Dal Jang (University of Wisconsin–River Falls)       This study was conducted to demonstrate the effects of second iron injection before weaning and iron levels in nursery diets on growth performance, hematological parameters, and fecal microbiome of pigs. A total of 70 newborn pigs from 7 sows were allotted to 4 treatments within litter, housed in farrowing crate without creep feed, and received the first dose (200 mg iron) at 2 to 3 d of age....

1. Introduction Artificial insemination (AI) in modern pig reproduction requires liquid-stored extended-semen. Extenders provide sperm with nutrients to maintain metabolic processes (1), prevent cold shock (2), control osmotic pressure and pH (3), and antibiotics present in extender inhibit bacterial growth (4). Despite the substantial improvements made on extender formulations in recent years, the quality of stored sperm decreases over time primarily due to the increased...

Introduction: A humpy-backed syndrome of pigs has persisted in the British pork industry and causes of the deformity have been difficult to identify (Penny RHC, 1986). The disease presents challenges in regards to handling the carcass (Holl et al , 2008) and is suspected to slow down growth rate (Straw, Bates, & May, 2009). There is no clear evidence of the biological mechanisms by which kyphosis is induced. Through collecting tissue samples from affected and healthy pigs...

Introduction: To prevent iron deficiency anemia, supplemental iron typically is given to piglets within 5 d after birth. Large piglets are at greater risk of iron deficiency than are smaller piglets; however, iron dextran injection protocols are highly variable. The objectives were to determine the within herd prevalence of anemia among piglets, and to evaluate the influence of a supplemental iron dextran injection on growth. Materials and Methods: The study...

Introduction: Staphylococci are a major disease burden for animals and humans. In swine, Staphylococcus hyicus is the causative agent of exudative epidermitis (greasy pig disease) which is characterized by skin lesions and a greasy exudate. Outbreaks of this disease can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Swine are also common carriers of Staphylococcus aureus and, although this agent poses little threat to swine, its zoonotic potential is...

Introduction: Phosphorus (P) is an important component in several processes and the main component of the inorganic bone matrix together with calcium (Ca).The minerals can be released from the bones to the blood by the bone turnover processes associated also breaking down the organic matrix of the bone. For reproducing sows, the physiological demand for nutrients covers the supply to the growing fetuses and eventually for milk production. If the dietary supply of P and...

Introduction: Phosphorus (P) belongs to the essential elements in animals` nutrition and is responsible among others for performance and bone health in weaned piglets. Nowadays, phosphorus achieves an economic relevance due to limited resources of this element. Therefore, aim of the present study was the evaluation of effects of different phosphorus levels in the diet on the performance and bone structure and composition as well to assess bone health in weaned...

Introduction: Saving the limited resources of phosphate rock and improving intestinal health of pigs represent major challenges of modern pig industry. Consequently, the present study addressed the impact of supplementing variable levels of calcium-phosphate (CaP) on the numbers of selected members of the intestinal microbiome in growing pigs. To investigate the impact of fermentable substrates on the microbiota, two protein sources potentially providing variable...

Introduction: The use of alternatives to antibiotics, such as essential oils, organic acids and zinc oxide for the maintenance of swine health and performance, has been under debate. However, their efficacy varies due to many reasons and also to their availability in the intestine. Encapsulation methods have been applied to protect these compounds against gastric acidity and promote the gradual release to the distal parts of the intestine. The objective of the study was...

As we all know, zinc is one of the essential trace elements in animal body, and it is a component of various metalloenzymes and insulin. It is called "life element" because it has a wide range of physiological and biochemical functions in the body. In traditional breeding, zinc in animal diets is provided in the form of inorganic salts. In recent years, during the breeding process, many farms have What is the effect of zinc methionine by adding zinc methionine ? The following small series...

Introduction Post-weaning diarrhoea ( PWD ) is a significant enteric disease causing considerable economic losses for the pig industry. Among several etiological risk factors, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli ( ETEC ) is considered to be a major cause, i.e. colibacillosis. The use of antibiotics at subtherapeutic concentrations was routinely used as growth promoters for several decades, but has since 1 January 2006 been banned in the European Union due to the...
