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...

Background Maize oil is an abundant source of vegetable oil used in human foods and animal feeds. Maize oil provides 8579 kcal/ kg of ME [1], which is comparable to soybean oil (8574 kcal/kg), and greater than canola oil (8384 kcal/kg) and palm kernel oil (7119 kcal/kg) when added to swine diets. The addition of lipids to animal feeds not only increases energy density, but also enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and improves feed efficiency and palatability [2]. The...

Background and objectives: It was hypothesized that not only the extent of protein digestibility at the end of the ileum influences pig performance and risk for post-weaning diarrhea (PWD), but rate of protein digestion also influences performance and gut-health post-wean. Therefore, a 2-step in vitro assay that simulated nursery pig gastric and small intestinal protein digestion over-time was developed in collaboration with Wageningen University and ForFarmers (Chen et al.,...

How does the ban change the way we look at feed formulation? Zinc oxide (ZnO) has often covered up mistakes within our piglet feed formulations. When we remove ZnO, excesses or imbalances in our formulation become visually obvious in the form of higher incidences of diarrhoea, variability within a batch, secondary diseases, higher feed costs, higher cost of production, higher mortality and more. The ZnO ban forces us to reflect on some of the often-overlooked aspects of our...

What is the incentive for the EU ban? The EU ban entails the use of high levels of ZnO (known as veterinary levels), which can be defined as levels above 150 parts per million (ppm). High levels of ZnO increase the risk of heavy metal accumulation in the environment and the potential for antimicrobial resistance. We should not forget that zinc is an essential part of swine diets, at nutritional levels (below 100ppm). Zinc is needed for various enzyme to work properly and it...

What are consequences of the ban for farmers? The ban will increase the risk for the development of digestive problems in piglets after weaning. Most pig producers already have very high standards of hygiene and management practices, but the ZnO ban means we have to even better take care of these things. This could mean that we have to re-evaluate for example the state of the weaning facilities. Are the feeders and drinkers still ok? It is also important to have the right pig...

Are we prepared to remove ZnO from piglet diets? A survey done by Farmers Weekly and Elanco showed that that one-third of pig farmers in the UK are still routinely using zinc oxide in pigs after weaning, and 60% have no plan in place for when it is banned in 2022. Minimising problems is all about good preparation and know the solutions that you can use to limit the negative effects of removing ZnO (such as increased costs, low feed intakes, gut health issues). We have learned a...

The strict control of the successive outbreaks throughout the country resulted in the people staying home, the closure of roads and the suspension of production, and it had a negative hit on both supply and demand in the economic sphere, even though such severe control was not scientifically reasonable or necessary for the Omicron epidemic.
The domestic APIs market is currently maintaining weak. On the supply side, the overall market supply is not short while the production costs...

INTRODUCTION Phosphorus is an essential mineral for the formation and maintenance of bone structure, playing additionally a number of functions in the body. According to UNDERWOOD & SUTTLE (1999), phosphorus is found in a high concentration in bone tissue where together with calcium they form hydroxyapatite, which is the major constituent of the skeleton. Phosphorus portion not related to the structural function in the body is contained in high-value organic molecules,...

Introduction Manganese is an essential trace mineral that is a key component in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. According to the NRC, 2 the quantitative requirement for Mn for nursery and finishing diets ranges from 2 to 4 ppm. Assuming bioavailability is not a concern, many swine diets today meet the NRC 2 estimated requirement for Mn from the major dietary ingredients before a trace mineral premix is added to the diet. However, due to the...

Over the past decades, the use of therapeutic inclusions of zinc oxide in diets has been used to reduce the negative impact of the weaning process on the performance of piglets. Its effectiveness on diarrhoea reduction has led to an enormous increase in consumption of zinc oxide in...

Introduction Colibacillosis is generally defined the infection with Escherichia coli characterized by many clinical forms. E. coli is a gram negative peritrichously flagellated bacteria belonging to the family Enterobatteriaceae and is the causative agent of a wide range of diseases in pigs, including neonatal diarrhoea, post-weaning diarrhoea (PWD), oedema disease (ED), septicaemia, polyserositis, coliform mastitis (CM) and urinary tract infection (UTI) (Fairbrother and Gyles,...
