Amino acids in swine nutrition

Welcome to the page about Amino acids in swine nutrition of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Amino acids in swine nutrition.
Introduction: Tropical native legumes are an alternative to cost-intensive conventional feedstuffs. However, the adverse climate in the tropics induces pest and diseases during storage, affecting the nutritional quality of the feedstuff. Ensiling can face this problem and moreover improve digestibility or reduce the content of anti-nutritional factors (ANF). This study inquired the effects of ensiling a mixture of soaked cowpea (CWP) and sorghum (SOR) grains on fermentation...

Introduction: Previous research showed that one out of three sows produces insufficient colostrum and milk for the offspring. This may lead to reduced piglet performance. The most obvious solution is to increase the colostrum and milk production of the sow. However, optimizing the composition of sow colostrum and milk may also be a valuable preventive measure. Therefore, knowledge of the composition of the mammary secretions and influencing factors is important. The aim of this...

Additives are part of the strategies for adding value to food, and their interest, in the current context of raw material prices, is even more evident. Nevertheless, there is a tendency to simplify their action to stick to the primary logic of their nature and easily generate an economic advantage. In doing so, we are likely to limit ourselves by failing to fully consider the scope of their work. In the case of the increasingly popular proteases, this involves a "simple" recovery of the...

Low protein diets have improved nitrogen (N) utilization, but dietary N for the endogenous synthesis of non-essential amino acids (NEAA) may be limiting. Inclusion of a non-protein nitrogen (NPN) may improve utilization of essential amino acids (EAA). A N-balance study was conducted, where 90 growing barrows were assigned to 1 of 10 dietary treatments. Diets contained no ammonium phosphate (NAP; EAA-N:TN of 0.56) or were supplemented with 1.7% ammonium phosphate (AP; EAA-N:TN of 0.50) with...

Looking back to the year 2023, the overall API market collapsed. The scarring effect left by the pandemic is hard to fade away completely; the global economy is facing downward pressure, the domestic livestock industry is in a downturn, and the prices of veterinary APIs continue to bottom out, hitting record lows. As the China Veterinary Medicine and Feed Trading Centre (CVMFTC) monitored, the VPi index for four weeks in January was 63.95, 63.41, 63.30 and 63.23. respectively....

Basic Role of Feed Formulation Feed formulation is a process by which our knowledge of the nutrition of the animal can be translated into feeding programs which achieve our production objectives. These objectives typically include optimizing growth performance and producing a final carcass that can be converted into safe, healthy and appealing consumer meat products. This must be done in a profitable manner that concurrently contributes to environmental sustainability and animal...

1. Introduction Extrusion has been widely used in feed processing for over 70 years [1]. It can change the physio-chemical properties of feed ingredients by applying constant moisture, pressure, and high temperature with the combination of shear force. Thus, extruded ingredients have greater nutrient utilization and reduced anti-nutritional factors [2]. Full-fat rice bran (FFRB), an important by-product of the rice milling industry, is commonly used as an alternative to...

APIs MARKET The price index of veterinary APIs monitored by China Veterinary Drugs and Feed Trading Centre for four weeks this month was 64.80-65.07-64.90-64.66, indicating that the market is generally stable. Products such as Doxycycline hydrochloride, neomycin sulfate, tilmicosin, enrofloxacin, and florfenicol, etc, have received more attention, while other categories and products have performed stably and are still at the bottom of the market. A cliff-like...

In the current study, β-glucan present in fermentation products from Ganoderma lucidum (GLF) was tested as a feed supplement to evaluate its efficacy on growth performance and immunocompetence in weanling piglets suffering from physiological stress during weaning. This article focuses on after challenging with porcine circovirus (PCV) type 2, a supplementation with 50 mg GLF per kg feed also inhibited PCV-2 virus amplification, Figure 1. Detection of PCV-2 nucleic acid in...

Potassium diformate is a strong acidifier that is released slowly in the digestive tract with high buffering properties, which prevents excessive fluctuations in the acidity of the gastrointestinal tract of animals. Studies have shown that 85% of potassium diformate passes through the pig’s stomach and enters the duodenum in its intact form. The...

APIs MARKET In August, the veterinary API market remains weak, and the prices of most mainstream varieties continue to go down. Florfenicol, doxycycline, and amoxicillin have stagnant finishing. At the same time, erythromycin thiocyanate, as an intermediate raw material of azithromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, and erythromycin stearate, has reached a historical high, and Tilmicosin price is going up against the trend. Is this the primary sign of rebound expected by the...

The swine industry has largely gone to early weaning (3 weeks or earlier) especially in confinement production systems with environmentally controlled nurseries. Economic factors such as increasing the number of pig per sow per year and the need to maximize the capital cost of swine farrowing units by moving more sow through the facilities has...

INTRODUCTION Highly digestible feed ingredients and feed additives are used to help young pigs transition from sow’s milk to solid diets (Skinner et al., 2014; Valini et al., 2021). Thus, the cost of swine diets is greatest during the nursery phase of production due to the complexity of ingredients, e.g., whey, blood plasma and industrial amino acids. As compensatory growth has been associated with increased feed efficiency, it is a mechanism that may help to increase...

Introduction: In a swine breeding, the piglets are those which require more nutritional care due to their physiologic immaturity and the enzymatic changes that take place in these first stages of life. The objective of this experiment was to assess the effect of the nutritional supplement VIUSID vet on the productive behavior of lactating sows and their piglets. Materials and Methods: For this work 54 Yorkshire lactating sows and 548 piglets were...

Introduction: Weaning is an important period in the life of the pigs, because they require adapting quickly to the environmental and nutritional changes that exist in the pigpen. The objective of this assay was to assess the effect of three doses of the dietary supplement VIUSID vet, on the productive behavior of pigs after the weaning. Materials and Methods: For this work, four groups of 30 newly weaned pigs were used (females). The animals were weaned at...

Introduction: The correct feeding of pigs in the fattening phase is a difficult challenge for any nutritionist. Due to the rapid advances in the use of new and diverse preservatives and ingredients, the existence of new ways of exploitation and technologies, as well as for the demands of a market increasingly informed and interested in consuming products of animal origin of good quality, at an accessible price. The objective of this assay was to assess the effect of the...
