1. Introduction Dietary levels above 5% of non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) can reduce pig performance due to deleterious effects (such as greater digesta viscosity and lower digestibility) in the gastrointestinal tract of these animals [1]. Corn and soybean meal are the most common ingredients in pig diets but contain 6 to 17% of NSP [2]. Furthermore, higher concentrations of NSP may reduce total tract digestibility while increasing endogenous amino acid loss [3], mucosal cell...

Context This note is an overview of trends in animal proteins and its traditional and emerging substitutes from a consumer point of view. It does not have the ambition of being exhaustive, it should rather be seen as an introduction to the rapidly evolving world of alternative proteins in the background of global warming. The choice of a protein interacts with numerous attributes that question consumers, as indicated by Figure 1. Some of these attributes are of the public good...

Introduction Animal husbandry, the agricultural practice of breeding and raising livestock, is a major food-producing industry worldwide. The increasing global demand for animal protein results in rapidly growing animal production as well as the growth of animal feed and the feed additive market. The feed additives have played a significant role in the sustainability of the livestock industry. There are four major drivers for the growth of the animal feed additive market including:...

Introduction Animal production faces serious challenges, having to feed a growing population while dealing with increased competition for land, climate change and having to take a more sustainable approach. Sustainable agriculture requires us to meet society’s present needs without compromising the ability for current, or future generations, to meet their needs. The effectiveness by which an animal is capable to transform feed biomass into animal products determines the amount...

Introduction With the increasing demand for animal protein projected for the next decades as world’s population increases, the perceived antagonism between intensive animal production and climate change will intensify. It is estimated that livestock agriculture accounts for 14% of total CO2 emissions of which 1.4% can be attributed to pig production (FAO, 2020, IPCC, 2019 and 2022). Social pressure, policy making, carbon tax and sustainable financial investing will necessitate...

For a long time, the topic of fibre supplementation for the sow was only discussed in connection with the prevention of constipation in the period close to birth. In recent years, fibre supplementation has been increasingly used in the context of positively influencing the performance of sows and piglets. The genetic progress made in sows in recent years represents a major challenge for management. The number of weaned piglets is increasing worldwide (Fig. 1). Modern sows wean 33-35...

1. Introduction Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a swine enteric viral disease first documented in the United States (U.S.) swine population in 2013, at which time it sparked a major epidemic [1]. The clinical presentation involves high morbidity and mortality in suckling piglets with diarrhea being the main clinical sign [2, 3]. The disease is caused by a virus (PEDV) in the genus Alphacoronavirus [4] that is largely classified into two main genogroups, the S-INDEL strain and...
