Phosphate, the mined source of agricultural phosphorus supplements, is a non-renewable …

Pork, an important component of human nutrition worldwide, contributes considerably to
anthropogenic nitrogen and greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing the environmental impact …

The objective of this study was to develop appropriate correction equations for dual energy
X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for total carcass composition of live meat-and egg-type …

Former foodstuff products (FFPs) are promising alternative ingredients for reducing the
waste of natural resources and the environmental impact of food production. This study …

Background An essential component in the development of sustainable pig production is the
reduction of nitrogen excretion in fattening pigs. Pig feeds typically contain high levels of …

Two trials were carried out to develop and validate linear regression equations for body
composition prediction using Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). In Trial 1, 300 …

Skeleton bones, distinguished by trabecular and cortical bone tissue content, exhibit varied
growth and composition, in response to modified dietary calcium and phosphorus levels …

To maximize the efficiency of dietary P utilization in swine production, understanding the
mechanisms of P utilization in lactating sows is relevant due to their high P requirement and …

This study investigated the ability of replacement gilts to adapt their calcium and phosphorus
utilization and their kinetics in bone mineralization to compensate for modified intake of …

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) refers to impaired foetal growth during gestation,
resulting in permanent stunting effects on the offspring. This study aimed to investigate the …
