Lactating Sows Feed Themselves
New feeder design improves sow body condition and helps boost pigs-born-alive average. About three years ago, Iowa Select Farms set out to do a better...
Creep Feeding May Improve Postweaning Performance

Effects of Dietary Ingredients On Carcass Quality Measures
Three separate Kansas State University (KSU) research trials confirm that adding fat to swine diets increases carcass iodine values. The exact impact on the carcass depends on the fat source...
Additives to Improve Flowability of DDGS Studied
University of Minnesota (U of M) researchers have found that in-creasing moisture content of dried distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS) from 9% to 12% clearly and significantly reduced the flowability of the feedstuff...
Curing Water Wastage In Postweaning Pigs
It is often thought that pigs at weaning are substituting water for feed consumption, resulting in a temporary weight loss, as they adapt to eating solid food. But researchers at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada have discovered that most water usage after weaning is actually water wastage...
Mycotoxin Web Site Launched by Alltech
A comprehensive Web site for information about mycotoxins, produced in conjunction with Alltech, was launched in mid-July. The site, www...
