Compensatory growth response in pigs: Effects on growth performance, composition of weight gain at carcass and muscle levels, and meat quality
Restriction/realimentation feeding strategy was applied to pigs to increase the age at market weight and final ADG, modify protein and lipid deposition rates at carcass and muscle levels, and thereby improve eating quality of the pork.

Effects on poultry and livestock of feed contamination with bacteria and fungi
Animal feed may serve as a carrier for a wide variety of microorganisms. The primary mode of inoculation of feed materials is the transference of soil by wind, rain, mechanical agitation, or insects to standing crops. read more >
Nutritional value of aquatic ferns (Azolla filiculoides Lam. and Salvinia molesta Mitchell) in pigs
Aquatic ferns (AFs) such as Azolla filiculoides and Salvinia molesta are grown on swine lagoons in the tropics and used to feed pigs. The present work aimed to determine their nutritional value. read more >
Model and decision support tool for the nutrition of growing pigs
Animal production is facing new challenges that call for a more integrative approach towards nutrition. Although considerable research progress has been made by the development of mathematical models of nutrient utilisation in farm animals, practical application of these models has been rather limited. read more >
Model and decision support tool for the nutrition of sows
From results obtained over the last 20 years on energy and amino acid utilisation in reproductive sows, it has become possible to improve the determination of nutrient requirements (factorial approach) and the prediction of an animal's response to nutrient supplies (modelling). read more >
Influence of micronization of soya bean meal and fullfat soya bean on productive performance and digestive traits in young pigs
Two trials were conducted to test the effect of micronization (very fine grinding) of soya bean meal (SBM) and fullfat soya bean (FFSB) on productive performance and digestive traits of piglets. The experimental design was completely randomized with four treatments arranged factorially (SBM and FFSB, micronized and ground). read more >
