Abstract
An experiment was conducted to determine net energy (NE) and nitrogen (N) balance in growing pigs fed diets containing varying levels of starch and...
Soybean meal (SBM) is the primary plant-protein source in diets for pigs and provides both amino acids (AA) and energy to the diets. Current...
Abstract
This research aimed at assessing the impact of continuous supplementation of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25(OH)D3) to diets fed during gestation and lactation on sow reproductive performance...

Abstract
Background Reduction of the particle size of corn increases energy digestibility and concentrations of digestible and metabolizable energy. Pelleting may also reduce particle size...
It is important that the digestibility of Ca in Ca sources is known to formulate diets based on values for digestible Ca rather than...
Abstract
Data from Europe indicate that commercial diets for pigs and poultry contain significantly more Ca than formulated. Therefore, a survey of commercial pig diets...
