INTRODUCTION Salinomycin is an ionophore antibiotic used in pigs as a growth promoter (Rutz & Lima 2001) and preventively to control the clinical signs of enteric diseases caused by bacteria of the genus Brachyspira (Hampson et al. 2006). Properly used, ionophores are effective in both indications, but they are myotoxic in excessive doses (Novilla 1992). Salinomycin facilitates ionic flow through the cytoplasmic and mitochondrial membranes (Mitani et al. 1976)....

APIs MARKET
The vet APIs market underwent a profound adjustment in the Q1-Q2 of 2023, but most industry insiders are hoping for a market rebound in the second half of 2023; the main reason is they are optimistic about the recovery of consumer demand in the year. The month of July has ended, and the rebound shows no sign of arriving anytime soon; the lukewarm downstream market still hasn't improved, and the price of most of the products is running low and steady. Doxycycline failed...

Introduction The application and distribution of manure on croplands is influenced by the relief and geographical position of farms and the size of the area, being limited to certain times of the year depending on weather conditions (Hodgson et al., 2016; Broetto & Meinerz, 2017). Therefore, until its disposal, manure needs to be kept in a suitable storage structure and to be correctly managed, which requires understanding the basic types of bacteria present in it. According...

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 Pork is a highly popular food for many people owing to its excellent nutritional qualities. However, consumers usually do not choose their food solely for its nutrients and other characteristics are also taken into account, such as whether the product is visually appealing, chemically and biologically safe to eat, free from artificial preservatives or food additives, and healthy (Jaturasitha et al., 2016). Fats are one of the few components of meat that can be...

The livestock sector is responsible for providing healthy food to society and ensuring their health. Production is changing parameters and values of productive performance due to the obligation to replace the therapeutic approach with a more holistic approach in which good nutrition is necessary to eliminate those practices that are...

This study was investigating the effects of a defined concentration of Fusarium mycotoxins, deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZON) incorporated into feeds on growth performance of pigs and the alleviating effects of a mycotoxin degrading enzyme (MDE) on the toxicity of Fusarium mycotoxins. A total of 48 weaning pigs was randomly allotted to four treatments for a 6-week challenged trial. The MDE product was a kind of mycotoxin degradation enzyme with esterase, epoxidase and...

1. Introduction The small intestine is a highly differentiated and complex organ with many nutritional, physiological, and immunological functions [1–8]. First, the small intestine is responsible for the terminal digestion and absorption of dietary nutrients and is, therefore, essential to health, growth, development, reproduction, and sustaining life in organisms. Second, the neonatal small intestine can absorb immunoglobulins from milk before gut closure, which is...

Introduction Globally, industrial coproducts from the dry and wet milling of cereal grains are often included in swine diets to reduce feed cost; however, they contain greater levels of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) than their parent grain (Jaworski et al., 2015). It has been well established that pigs lack the enzymes required to digest NSP, and that increased dietary NSP can reduce nutrient and energy digestibility, impair hindgut fermentation, and increase digesta...

1. Introduction Standardized ileal digestibility (SID) has become the accepted standard to measure amino acid (AA) digestibility (Stein et al., 2007a; Levesque et al., 2010). In nutrition, apparent ileal digestibility (AID) increases with dietary AA concentration while true ileal digestibility (TID) and SID are assumed to be independent of AA concentration (Stein et al., 2007a). The digestibility of SID AA in feed ingredients is important to the swine industry, and many...

Introduction Increasing use of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), which contains high levels of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) such as n-6 UFA, alters the fatty acid (FA) profile of tissues in pigs to contain more UFA with a higher iodine value (IV) that results in soft fat pork (Cromwell et al., 2011; McClelland et al., 2012). Also, increased deposition of n-6 UFA in tissues may result in increased oxidative problems for both the health of pigs...

INTRODUCTION Threonine is an indispensable amino acid for pigs and is required for both maintenance and growth. It is the primary amino acid constituent of immunoglobulins and represents a significant portion of the proteins secreted by the small intestine (1). Threonine does not undergo transamination and there is no synthesis of threonine by the pigs. Consequently, all the threonine required by pig must be provide in the diet. Many experiments were performed in order to...

1 INTRODUCTION North America currently imports plant-based feed ingredients, such as soybean meal, from countries that are endemically infected with viruses of economic and pathologic significance to swine including porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV), Seneca virus A (SVA), porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), classical swine fever virus, pseudorabies virus, foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) and African swine fever virus (ASFV; Blomme et al., 2022;...
