Feed fermentation formulate gut microbiota of weanling pigs - Effects of exopolysaccharides and reutericyclin
DownloadSpring 2015
Enteric bacterial infections, especially post-weaning diarrhea, are among the most common diseases affecting pigs and economically significant in swine production. Antibiotics were a cost-effective method to treat and prevent these bacterial diseases. However, with concerns of the prevalence of...

Pig follicle development is a complex but poorly understood process involving both gonadotrophins and local ovarian factors. A series of studies sought to investigate these intrafollicular cell-to-cell interactions. Microarray analysis combined with gene ontology revealed that the oocyte,...

Mid-infrared spectroscopy estimates nutrient digestibility in pigs to improve in vitro digestion models
DownloadSpring 2014
Co-products are increasingly used as alternative feedstuffs for pigs, but their nutritional quality varies largely. Rapid evaluation of energy digestibility of co-products is important for the feed industry and pork production. In vitro digestion (IVD) models have been used to evaluate...

Nutritional Characterization of Wheat Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles in Grower-Finisher Pigs
DownloadFall 2011
Co-product feedstuffs, if properly characterized nutritionally, are an important component to maintain the feed competitiveness of the pork industry. Hence, nutrient digestibility of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) was measured using grower-finisher pigs. In Exp. 1, two methods were...

Nutritional Factors Impacting Intestinal Lipid Metabolism Using a Model of Low Birth Weight Swine
DownloadSpring 2018
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are increasing at an alarming rate globally. A common feature in these conditions is increased adiposity leading to insulin resistance (IR). Dyslipidemia is a major contributing...

Pulse-based Vegan Dog Food: Examination of Digestibility with or without Added Enzymes in Adult Dogs and Ileal Cannulated Pigs as a Model
DownloadFall 2023
Demand for vegan dog foods is growing, yet little research has been conducted concerning the digestibility of these foods for dogs. The pulses and pulse protein concentrates that provide protein in these foods contain anti-nutritional factors (ANF), which may reduce nutrient digestibility....
