1. Introduction Phosphorus (P) is an irreplaceable macroelement that regulates the metabolic and physiological functions of a living organism. It is known to take part in skeletal mineralization, as well as the formation of cell membranes, nucleic acids, and adenosine triphosphate [1]. Plants store P mainly in the form of phytate, which is not completely digestible by monogastric animals. Therefore, unabsorbed P is excreted into the environment where it is considered to be...

INTRODUCTION The post-weaning period may be considered critical for piglets, once they are submitted to several stress situations (SOBESTIANSKY et al., 2001) such as environmental changes (new facilities and/ or environmental temperatures), removal from the sow, replacement of liquid with solid diets, and social tensions arising from getting animal grouped back after being separated (FERREIRA et al., 2001). Thus, aiming to minimize the stress which is observed in this initial...

1. Introduction Quercetin, as the foremost representative of flavonols, has been extensively investigated for its beneficial effects on health [1]. With regard to the gastrointestinal tract, quercetin received a lot of attention in treating chronic intestinal inflammation. Different mechanisms, including protection against oxidative stress, preservation of epithelial barrier function, and immunomodulatory properties in the gut, are believed to be involved [2,3]. These biological...

At weaning, piglets suffer from immunological, environmental, nutritional and social stress, consequently affecting the gut health and growth performance. Supplementation of probiotics is considered as one of the strategies to maintain the intestinal health and minimize the negative effects of the weaning stress in piglets. Probiotic, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CECT 5940 is a natural spore - forming bacteria, which supports gut health and improves growth performance in poultry....

Piglets face multiple challenges from the early stages of their life, actually since birth, a shocking experience in terms of temperature and change of environmental conditions. Besides that, piglets are born without a functional intestinal barrier and with an immature immune system. The effects of weaning and the stress suffered by young animals during that period is severe and can have big consequences, also on the long term...

1. Introduction Weaning is the most challenging event in modern pig production, which often results in reduced feed intake, decreased growth, increased risks of post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) and mortality in newly weaned piglets [1–3]. Thus, pig producers in Europe, particularly in Denmark, heavily depend on dietary supplementation of pharmacological doses (2500 to 3000 ppm) of zinc oxide (ZnO) to avert weaning related diarrhea and associated piglet mortality. However, due...

In this interview, Paulino commented on some of the topics covered in his recent presentation "Ultimate advances in the feeding of piglets" and offered advice on production during the COVID-19 crisis.
1. Can you talk about the importance of weaning weight in piglets and what an ideal weight would be?
Wean at 3 weeks on average (18 - 23 days) with an acceptable weight of 6.5 kg. She must wean 30.76 piglets/sow/year while the...

Taiwan is an island state in East Asia and located in the tropical and subtropical zone. During summer, the weather is hot and humid, and these factors will cause the intensive farming livestock to stay in high pressure and uncomfortable state, hence resulting in feed intake reduce and disease.
Weaned pigs are more sensitive to inter and external environments changes comparing to growing pigs or finishing pigs. During the weaning stage, piglets are facing a series of physiological...

Introduction It is generally thought that as diets are ground to a smaller mean particle size, a linear improvement in nutrient utilization and pig performance will be observed. Research has demonstrated this benefit when particle size is reduced from 1,000 microns to approximately 600 microns. However, further reduction of particle size below 600 microns has not shown consistent benefits when fed to nursery pigs and has been reported to reduce feed intake and gain in finishing...

INTRODUCTION Mycotoxins are considered important contaminants of maize-based products (Abdallah et al. 2015). The natural occurrence of aflatoxins, fumonisins, zearalenone, ochratoxin A, trichothecenes, patulin and penicillic acid is often observed in animal feed, and include the concomitant occurrence of two or more mycotoxins. These natural contaminants of cereals are found worldwide mainly in corn and its derived products. Pigs are highly susceptible to...

Introduction In nutritional programs for swine, antibiotic and anti-microbial additives that act as growth promoters have been used in sub-therapeutic and constant doses ever since the 1950s. In post -weaning, these additives promote an average increase of 16.4% in weight gain and 6.9% in feed efficiency (Cromwell, 1991). However, despite of the evidenced ability on improving the growth performance, the use of these products in animal nutrition has been restricted by virtue of...
