High indigestible dietary protein impairs growth and health status of nursery pigs with Salmonella Typhimurium more than with enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli F4 challenge

24/12/2025 - Indigestible dietary protein content is an emerging dietary concept that is thought to be related to adverse intestinal health outcomes and increased incidence of pathogen-related diarrhea in pigs....

Tannic acid-mediated gut microbes for enhanced intestinal immunity in Escherichia coli-challenged weaned piglets

07/10/2025 - Tannic acid (TA) has astringent functions and prevents diarrhea in piglets. This study investigated the mechanism of different TA levels (0, 0.01%, 0.05%, 0.25%) in low-protein diets on growth...

Genetic architecture of swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome and its genetic correlation with repeated skin damage scores

13/12/2025 - Lesions and injuries to the extremities of the pig’s body parts, like the tail and ears, are often associated with biting. However, lesion signs observed at birth and in 3-d-old piglets suggest...

A comparative analysis of machine learning classifiers for modeling the number of liveborn piglets

05/12/2025 - The profitability of pig farms is largely dependent on the productivity of their sow herds, often measured as the number of piglets weaned per sow per year, which is closely linked to the number of...

Aldehydes are key for assessing dietary lipid oxidation and subsequent effects on pig growth performance

25/11/2025 - The relationship between lipid oxidation products (LOP) and pig performance is complicated by the dynamic process of lipid oxidation and the complex biochemical and physiological process of pig...

Daily feed intake patterns of purebred nucleus boars as genetic indicators for disease resilience of crossbred barrows under a natural polymicrobial disease challenge

15/10/2025 - Resilience is an important selection target in pig production to reduce the impact of stressors on performance and welfare, in particular disease stressors. Disease resilience is, however, difficult...

Enhanced SfaTnpB enables single-base-specific, one-pot nucleic acid detection for high-sensitivity diagnostics

08/01/2026 - CRISPR/Cas12-based nucleic acid detection has revolutionized molecular diagnostics but shows limited single-nucleotide specificity, limited high-fidelity subtype discrimination, and limited...

Antroquinonol reduces IL-1? production in macrophages through enhancing the DNA methylation of Tlr4

- IntroductionMacrophages represent one of the most pivotal immune cells in the innate immune responses of weaned piglets. Emerging studies have revealed that numerous plant- or fungal-derived extracts...

Feeding a nutrient enriched diet to late gestating sows across consecutive cycles improves micronutrient status, farrowing duration, and prolificacy

24/11/2025 - This study evaluated effects of a nutrient-enriched late gestation diet (LGPHASE) on reproductive performance and blood-based biomarkers in sows and their progeny through weaning. Seventy sows...

Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of perlite for all terrestrial animal species (IMERYS Talc Europe)

- AbstractFollowing a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and...

Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of an essential oil obtained from the flowering aerial parts of Thymus vulgaris L. and/or Thymus zygis L. (thyme oil) for use in all animal species (FEFANA asbl)

- AbstractFollowing a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of an essential oil from the flowering aerial parts of Thymus...

54?Trainee Award: Gilt uterine gland density is affected pre- and post-puberty by maternal immune stimulation in late gestation

19/12/2025 - Uterine glands provide critical nutrients during pregnancy, but uterine gland number is fixed shortly after birth. Thus, we sought to determine if maternal immune stimulation decreases uterine gland...

28?Serum 25-OH D3 concentration changes in sows as a result of 25-OH D3 addition and mineral source

19/12/2025 - : IntroductionVitamin D is essential for growth and development including processes beyond those associated with bone. Vitamin D status can be low in reproducing sows. The vitamin D receptor is a Zn...

46?Maternal nutrition and developmental programming – lessons from livestock models

19/12/2025 - Our laboratories study “problems of pregnancy,” which include infertility, poor pregnancy outcomes (often reflected by fetal growth restriction and the accompanying low birthweight), and...

62?Investigating maternal physiological responses to pregnancy in a guinea pig model of increased maternal stress

19/12/2025 - : IntroductionChronic maternal stress during pregnancy can have lasting impacts on both maternal health and fetal development, yet the underlying maternal physiological adaptations remain poorly...

The effects of feeding increasing levels of added fat to growing-finishing pigs when fed with or without narasin (Skycis)

12/07/2025 - ABSTRACTThe objective was to evaluate the effects of feeding increasing energy by increasing fat (corn oil) levels to growing-finishing pigs when fed with or without narasin (Skycis; Elanco Animal...

Evaluation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermented Moutai distiller’s grains as an alternative ingredient for growing-finishing pigs

24/10/2025 - Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of incorporating Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermented Moutai distiller’s grains (FMDG) into diets for growing-finishing pigs...

Additional intramuscular iron injections tended to improve post-weaning growth when administered at weaning, but not at day seven of life

10/10/2025 - Piglets have a high requirement for iron due to their rapid growth rates and low body iron stores; moreover, intensive production conditions restrict access to environmental sources of iron, such as...

Assessment of reproductive challenges and nutritional practices on Pennsylvania sow farms

10/10/2025 - Pennsylvania is ranked 12th in the United States of America in pork production and hosts a diverse population of farms of different herd sizes, management techniques, and reproductive issues. Despite...

The effect of late gestation injectable vitamin A and D supplementation on sow and piglet performance

30/09/2025 - Vitamin A is an essential nutrient with an important role in animal health across livestock species. Insufficient dietary vitamin A intake is associated with decreased reproductive performance in...
