Prevention of disease transmission and enhancement of growth and feed efficiency are critical factors in modern animal production (Mroz, 2005). When pathogenic bacteria contaminate feed, it becomes a potential route of transmission of disease to animal...
In recent years it has been elucidated that a healthy gut is the most important precondition for transforming nutrients into performance. Feed additives such as acidifiers, probiotics and phytogenics are able to influence gut health. Among these feed...
Optimising gut health is a key to improving animal performance. Animals need support to develop and maintain a healthy micro-flora in their intestinal tract. Butyric, caprylic and capric acids strengthen the intestine and therefore improve animal performance...
It has been shown that balancing the diet for anions and cations plays an important role in preventing milk fever in dairy cows. Therefore, why not benefit from this knowledge and use it in sows too?
From a thorough grooming of gilts, made of early introduction, quarantine, acclimatation, and feeding, to practical fertility matter, that is made of several factors : boar, insemination management, season, environment, nutrition, health.
The first weeks after weaning are critical stage for the piglets in terms of nutritional, environmental and physiological stresses leading to malabsorption coupled with reduced weight gain and increased morbidity and mortality rates.
New concepts are required to master all the challenges ahead. Thus, the animal production sector will have to respond with appropriate tools. Obviously, all the surrounding conditions point to one direction: Implementation of safe, sustainable and profitable...
