THE OMEGA-6: OMEGA-3 FATTY ACID RATIO IN SWINE NUTRITION: LONG-TERM EFFECTS ON PERFORMANCE, MILK FATTY ACID PROFILES, OXIDATIVE STATUS, AND PROTEOMES
… diets has gained increasing attention as a nutritional intervention to enhance performance and health. This thesis aimed to improve growth performance and immune system in weaned pigs through early nutritional programs (maternal low ratio of ω6:ω3 (LR) diet during gestation and lactation) …

Reassessment of bone parameters and evaluation of a bone biopsy technique for determining calcium and phosphorus status of swine from weaning to market
… between measures of Ca/P status of postweaning swine, and to derive response surfaces relating diet and time effects to observed performance and bone characteristics. Pigs were slaughtered every 4 weeks following the start of the trials to obtain third and fourth metacarpals and metatarsals. …

Soy isoflavones and swine health
… feed ingredients that may function as nutritional interventions to improve the health and productivity of our livestock species. Previously, swine nutrition research has found that pigs experiencing high levels of inflammatory stress performed better when fed greater amounts of soybean …

Evaluation of red and white sorghum as alternative carbohydrate sources and the effects of extrusion in monogastric nutrition through the determination of macronutrient digestibility, fecal microbiota, digestible and metabolizable energy content
The pet food market follows human nutrition trends such as being gluten-free, non-genetically modified, and wheat-free. Additionally, alternative sources of grains and carbohydrates are needed to feed production animals, companion animals, and the growing human population. Sorghum bicolor is an …

EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROVISION OF FUNCTIONAL AMINO ACIDS TO ENHANCE ROBUSTNESS IN ENTERIC CHALLENGED PIGS
The predisposition of weaned pigs to enteric pathogens may increase if high protein (HP) diets, particularly from plant based (PB) sources, are fed. Growth performance and immune status of diseased pigs may be improved by supplementation with functional amino acids (FAA), including Threonine (Thr), …

Effects of Amino Acid Supplementation of Reduced Crude Protein (RCP) Diets on the Performance and Carcass Quality of Growing-Finishing Swine
… the LM and s.c. jowl fat from growing-finishing swine. Pigs were blocked by BW within gender, and allocated randomly to pens (6 pigs/pen) which were then assigned randomly within each block and gender to either corn-SBM diets 1) that were devoid of synthetic lysine (Ctrl); 2) with reduced CP …

NUTRITIONAL STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF SWINE FARMING
… livestock sector, presents a major challenge. Nutritional strategies offer a cost-effective and fast-acting solution to address this issue. Swine farming, second only to ruminants in environmental impact, plays a significant role due to its nitrogen emissions, its high consume of feedstuffs in …

The effects of zinc source and supplemental copper on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and morbidity and mortality of growing-finishing pigs raised under commercial conditions
Zinc hydroxychloride and tribasic copper chloride are relatively new mineral sources that are claimed to have improved bioavailability relative to commonly used zinc sources such as zinc oxide. Both sources were evaluated in two studies that were carried out to determine the effects of zinc source …
