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 >
Effects of potato protein having antimicrobial activity on the growth performance, and intestinal microflora and morphology in weanling pigs
A total of 280 weanling pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc) at an average initial body weight of 7.2 ± 0.88 kg were used in a 28-day growth study to investigate the effect of potato protein (PP) on growth performance, digestibility, small intestinal morphology and microbial populations in feces and large intestine. read more >
