Abstract: In order to explore the effect of Bifidobacterium Bifidum on the growth performance of weaned piglets, 28 self-bred and self-raised newborn piglets were selected in this experiment and randomly divided into 2 groups of 14 pigs in each group. The control group of piglets did not receive any treatment. The piglets in the experimental group were fed with 0.01 g/head of bifidobacteria additionally, and the growth performance of the piglets in the two groups was observed. The results...

Introduction: Evaluating the presence of antibiotic resistant (AR) bacteria in swine production is important to estimate the problems associated with bacterial antibiotic resistances on farms. Especially the prevalence of resistance in commensal E. coli is a useful indicator of antibiotic resistance in bacteria of different communities. This bacterium causes also diarrhea problems in weaned piglets. For this reason, E. coli and AR E. coli were...

Introduction Piglet post-weaning diets are by far the most expensive diets in the swine industry, mainly due to the need to reduce Post-Weaning Diarrhea (PWD) and optimize growth performance by including highly digestible feed ingredients with low content of antinutritive factors. It would therefore be economically advantageous, if some of the expensive protein sources that are generally considered necessary in diets for newly weaned piglets could be substituted with soy bean...

Introduction: Piglet weaning is an interesting model of oxidative stress (OS), but due to large inter-individual variations, there is a need to standardize in vivo response by applying usual challenges, such as vaccination (vacc) and heat stress (HS). The objectives of this trial are the development of a reproducible model of OS and the determination of the most accurate blood biomarkers. The effect of a combination of antioxidants was also investigated. Materials and...

Introduction: Over the last few years, the number of born and weaned piglets per sow has been increased continuously. The aim of this study was to investigate, whether a separate allocation of a high fiber diet in addition to an ad libitum feeding of sows in farrowing pens, leads to beneficial effects for sows and piglets. Materials and Methods: From day 109 (d-7) of gestation, a total of 34 sows were fed daily two portions of a commercial lactation...

1. Introduction Tissue-specific stem cells have the potential to self-renew or differentiate into mature cells, contributing to tissue growth and homeostasis. Muscle specific stem cells, satellite cells, maintain the ability to self-renew or differentiate and are required for post-natal muscle growth and repair [1–3]. The use of novel gene sequencing technology in the investigation of the genomic regulation of satellite cell fate has provided insight into how the satellite...

INTRODUCTION Mycotoxins are secondary metabolic products of fungi with toxigenic effects in other living species. Worldwide, about 88% of animal feed and feedstuffs are contaminated with at least one mycotoxin [1]. Fusarium toxins are the most prevalent, where deoxynivalenol ranks at first with 64% of occurrence, followed by fumonisins and zearalenone [1]. In pigs chronically fed deoxynivalenol contaminated diets, it is observed increased expression of interleukin 8 and...

The on-going battle against African Swine Fever and Covid-19 have caused major challenges globally affecting both food production and food security. This has been very evident in swine production, as most top pork producers and exporters were affected. Spain, being the top pork exporter, was among the first countries to be hit by the Covid-19 pandemic causing disruptions in pork supply not only to its exports but also affecting domestic supply in EU as well. This has also significantly...

We help pig farmers use the most effective swine feed so that they can operate profitably, sustainably and with high animal welfare standards. THE CHALLENGES FACED BY THE SWINE INDUSTRY Pig producers face many challenges, including high feed costs and disease outbreaks. The three biggest pressures come from: 1. Facing the sustainability challenge and the requirement to comply with regulations to reduce nitrogen and ammonia emissions. 2. Coping with...

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...

Post-weaning is a critical period for piglets. The immature digestive tract faces radical changes in the diet resulting in imbalances in the microbiota populations, and loss of the passive antibody protection provided by the milk. As result diarrhea episodes are frequently observed usually caused by E. coli. Application of Fecinor® ( Enterococcus faecium CECT 4515) in the piglet feed has proven to be useful to modify feces consistency by modulating the intestinal...

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...
