Introduction Site-specific information on the exact levels of vitamin E supplementation to gilts to optimize their reproductive ability and subsequently the body development of the piglets are lacking in most parts of the world particularly in the developing nations like ours. Most estimates on vitamin E supplementation are based on the minimum level required to overcome deficiency symptoms and not necessarily to promote productivity. The fundamental role of vitamin E in...

1. Introduction Among various metabolic pathways present in the organism, the metabolism of sulfur- (S) methionine and its seleno- (Se) analogous (Se-methionine) are particularly important because they not only contribute to protein mass but also produce (Se) homocysteine, a key metabolite connecting two fundamental metabolic functions, the one-carbon metabolism and the antioxidative system. The transfer of one-carbon groups, represented by methyl (–CH3), methylene...

Background Immune system activation alters nutrient partitioning from deposition of body protein to production of immune molecules [1] and provokes inflammatory responses such as fever, inhibition of appetite and vomiting, which compromise the wellbeing and welfare of pigs [2, 3]. These responses are caused by release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and subsequent synthesis of the immunosuppressive molecule prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which is synthesized from arachidonic acid in...

INTRODUCTION Boar spermatozoa are characterized by high susceptibility to lipid peroxidation (Cerolini et al., 2000). Indeed, mammalian spermatozoa are unique in structure and chemical composition and contain high proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the phospholipid fraction of their membranes (Cerolini et al., 2000; Surai, 2002; 2006). This feature of these highly specialized cells is a reflection of...

Introduction A delicate balance between antioxidants and prooxidants in cells is an important determinant of various physiological processes and maintenance of this balance is the main aim of so called an integrated antioxidant system built in the animal body. This system was developed during evolution to provide an antioxidant defence and give a chance for animals to survive in oxygenated atmosphere. Recent data suggest...

The constant search to improve the productive rates of animal species used by man for the production of food has led to the problematic of nutritional needs increase, generating the appearance of metabolic problems due to inefficient rations. These problems arise due to the limitations that many producers face in the fields, both extensive and intensive exploitations. Most important limiting factors in the diet have always been energy and protein;...

Introduction Insights into skeletal integrity gained from an accidental omission of vitamin D. A recent escalation in lameness and mortality issues in the U.S. swine industry (Madson et al., 2012) were attributed to hypovitaminosis D. An explanation for the abrupt increase in clinical cases of vitamin D deficiency in commercial swine is not apparent. The swine industry has alleviated some of these issues by...

INTRODUCTION Pig production in the developing countries has been adversely affected by a number of factors traceable to environmental, nutritional management and perhaps genetic factors. Controlling these factors will impact positively on the animal’s overall productivity. More importantly, biological free radicals have been strongly implicated as one of the major causes of poor performance and low...

Dietary supplementation with vitamin E is an efficient approach to maintaining meat quality during storage because it effectively reduces the rate of lipid oxidation within the tissue. Tissue α-tocopherol is not degraded during storage or cooking, and the protective effect of endogenous α-tocopherol is ongoing during the storage and processing of meat and meat products (Jenssen et al., 1998). Natural-source vitamin E is derived from vegetable oils and...

Nowadays aspects of meat quality are quite important issues, such as physical and sensory characteristics, nutritional value, and safety. Meat quality is affected by several factors i.e. genotype, nutritional and management conditions, and pre- and post slaughter conditions. Genotype unsuitable for the adequate processing aim, improper nutritional and management conditions and pre- and post slaughter conditions notably increase the water-holding capacity, as one of the important parameter of...
