Abstract Knowledge about the amino acid requirements and the response of pigs to the
amino acid supply is essential in feed formulation. A deficient AA supply results in a …

Lactose plays a crucial role in the growth performance of pigs at weaning because it is a
palatable and easily digestible energy source that eases the transition from milk to solid …

Abstract Multiparous Large White sows (n= 63) were used to investigate the effects of five
ambient temperatures (18, 22, 25, 27, and 29° C) and two dietary protein contents on their …

Components of milk include proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins, and cells.
The contents of these components are affected by a variety of factors, with stage of lactation …

Background Maternal nutrition is essential in keeping a highly efficient production system in
the pig industry. Laminarin has been shown to improve antioxidant capacity, reduce the …

This study was designed to test the degree of protein loss that may be sustained by lactating
sows before milk biosynthesis and ovarian function will be impaired. First-parity …

Improving efficiency of protein utilization is important for pregnant sows under restricted feed
allowance and for lactating sows with limited feed intake. Sows have limited ability to …

Fifty‐four multiparous large white sows were used to determine the effects of supplementing
oregano essential oil (OEO) to the gestation and lactation diets on oxidative stress status …

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 …

The effects of high ambient temperature and level of dietary heat increment on sow milk
production and piglet performance over a 28-d lactation were determined in 59 multiparous …
