Welcome to this week's newsletter
This week's Book Focus
We have 9 new features this week:
Amino Acid Boosts Litter Size and Piglet Growth
Research at North Carolina State University shows that feeding extra arginine to young sows during pregnancy and lactation can increase litter size and piglet growth, writes Jackie Linden, editor of ThePigSite.
Greenhouse Gases and Environmental Impacts of the Livestock Industry

Country of Origin: What's in a COOL Label?
Country of Origin Labelling is the next step to an entirely open marketplace for the US. In an ideal supermarket, consumers can understand as well as see the product that they are purchasing and they can monitor the system of production which has brought it to their aisles, but what are the real issues that follow this dream, asks Adam Anson, reporting for ThePigSite, and what implications does COOL bring back to the producer?
Torque Teno Virus - a New Threat to Pigs?
Torque teno virus has recently been identified as an emerging disease in pigs, and appears to interact with both PCV2 and PRRSV, says DuPont Animal Health Solutions in the latest DAHS Swine Technical News Bulletin.
Optimum Drinker-to-Pigs Ratio in the Nursery
More generous provision of drinkers tended to improve the growth of weaned pigs although the differences were not significant, according to research at Iowa State University reported by JoAnn Alumbaugh of Farms.Com. The work highlighted the need for more research into the effects on behaviour.
