1. Introdution Rearing Brazilian pig presented in the last decades a significant increase in productivity, a result attributed to several factors, including the low age of weaning practiced (WALSH et al., 2007b). Weaning, however, is still considered a critical step for piglets given to various stressors they are exposed to, how social changes (are separated from the sow),...

Louis Russell, Ph.D., President & Chief Executive Officer at APC, gives his opinion about the discussion in the swine industry whether the spray-dried porcine plasma could be a vector responsible for spreading the PED virus. Also he mentions the benefits of using spray-dried plasma in animal nutrition. ...

Factors Affecting The Colostrum Quality In Sows, And Thus The Survival Of Newborn Piglets:
1. The first point that I would like to make is that a “happy, well-conditioned sow” will both milk better, and take better care of her newborn litter! This includes giving good quality first milk (i.e. Colostrum)!
2. The environmental effects of correct temperature (i.e. about 65 degrees...

Introduction Escalating costs of typical swine feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal has created a demand for producers to consider feeding diets containing higher levels of byproducts to nursery and finishing pigs to reduce feed cost. However, these alternative feed ingredients are generally higher in fiber and lower in dietary energy compared to the cereal grains normally utilized. This decrease in...

INTRODUCTION Weaning is a critical time in a piglet’s life. They are exposed to many new stressors, including immune challenges. These stressors can lead to reduced feed intake and growth, and an inflammatory response will be generated. Although a certain degree of inflammatory response is beneficial during this time, an over-production of immune cells can be detrimental, leading to increased muscle degradation and...

INTRODUCTION The presence of DON contamination in grain is directly related to the presence of head or ear blight produced by Fusarium fungi, which in turn is directly related to the moisture content at flowering and/ or harvest. Possibly due to recent high stress growing seasons, we have seen an increase in the presence of DON contaminated grains in the Prairie Provinces, and it is expected that DON contamination will...

Around weaning, piglets are known to have a limited intake and an immature digestive tract. Previous trials demonstrated the beneficial effect of supplementing TakTik® X-IN either during suckling or 2 weeks post weaning on intake, growth and health of piglets.

FAST FACTS Background Weaning is the most stressful time in a piglet’s life The stress of weaning can cause an immune reaction and a growth lag (slowed growth) An immune reaction is a good bodily defense mechanism against foreign invaders, but an overly active immune system can be harmful Many nutritional strategies have attempted to improve piglet welfare at weaning Prairie...

INTRODUCTION The breadth of the topic of nursery pig management and nutrition is enormous and beyond the scope of a single paper, indeed there are entire books devoted to this area (e.g. The Weaner Pig Nutrition and management; Varley and Wiseman, 2001). Consequently, rather than try to be an exhaustive review, even on a few select topics of interest, we prefer only to make passing comments on some key areas. Our principle has been to include...

Presentation done at the EAAP Scientific Congress – August 2013 Gordon Rosen is a scientist who has established a model made up of 7 criteria in order to evaluate the efficiency of feed additives on animals’ performances (2004). The following table compares the data obtained with B-SAFE in piglets to the data expected by ROSEN for the 7 criteria, enabling to...

One of the readers asked how to feed a two month old piglet, and how many Kilograms per day do you feed it. Let me start off by saying that a piglet from the “Nursing” to the “Grower Stage” gains muscle mass very cheaply, and you want to feed it all the feed that it will eat at these stages. I decided to try and answer his first question, and more, by describing how to feed a young piglet. When I was in the production field,...

Setting the stage
Assume for a moment that you had never been to a dance before. If you walked into one, initially you might be overwhelmed by what would seem to be a chaos of motion. There is a constant movement and changing of positions. After further observation, you might recognize that there was a pattern to the movement, a synchrony of motion, even a coordination among dancing partners. Watching carefully, you might also come to...

The increasing need for animal-based food products is not a new challenge for Animal Producers, since during the last 30 years the human population has doubled. However, the current issues associated with this increase in demand are slightly more complicated. Specifically, the area of Animal Nutrition has been affected dramatically during the past 15 years by the ban on the usage of antibiotics growth promoters in some countries (Europe, Korea), the initiation of regulations...

INTRODUCTION Organic acids have been used for decades in commercial compound feeds, mostly in feed preservation, where formic and propionic acids are particularly effective. In the European Union, these two organic acids and a number of others (lactic, citric, fumaric and sorbic acids) and their salts (e.g. calcium formate, calcium propionate) are used under the classification ‘feed...
