Tail bites in free-range based finisher pig systems - prevalence and risk factors

Free-range pig productions systems offer low stocking densities and access to open air, straw and rooting materials. Nevertheless, in some free-range finisher pig herds (where tail docking is prohibited), tail biting is a serious problem. The study aimed...

The influence of a 16-hour delay in solid feed provisioning on the feed intake and performance of weanling piglets

A large proportion of newly weaned piglets starts consuming solid feed only after weaning is complete. Moreover, weaning day is stressful. Piglets may associate this stress with ingesting pelleted feed, thus reducing consecutive feed intake. An experiment...

In vitro prebiotic properties of arabinoxylan-rich ingredients in the gastrointestinal tract of weaned piglets

Due to weaning stress, the piglet’s intestines become more susceptible to the invasion of pathogens. Gut health could be supported through the use of dietary strategies, based on fermentable carbohydrate fractions, to minimize post-weaning associated...
