Summary: The study found that partial or complete replacement of zinc oxide (ZnO) with the mannan-rich fraction (MRF) in pig diets improved growth performance, reduced diarrhea incidence, increased nutrient digestibility, and positively impacted intestinal health. Furthermore, MRF supplementation also showed positive effects on microbial richness and diversity in pigs.

Summary: This study evaluated the potential effects of mannan oligosaccharide (MOS) on the health status of common carp under ammonia stress. The results showed that dietary supplementation of MOS improved the growth performance, immunity, antioxidant capacity, and intestinal health of the common carp. MOS effectively alleviated the oxidative damage and inflammatory response caused by ammonia poisoning to common carp.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effect of oral administration of nucleotides before and after weaning on growth performance, health, development of the intestinal immunity and microbiome of piglet. Nucleotide supplementation did not influence the growth performance of piglets but may have expressed a positive effect on pig microbiota anticipating its maturation at weaning, with possible immunostimulant activity on the intestinal immune system. Nucleotides are essential for the development of the gastrointestinal tract and immune function, but their intake with milk by piglets could be insufficient.

Summary: The study found that vaccinated sows could transfer specific T-cell subsets to piglets, while non-vaccinated sows were unable to transfer these cells. These results suggest that the immune status of sows may influence the protective effect of piglets against M. hyopneumoniae.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of hydrolyzed wheat protein (HWP), fermented soybean meal (FSBM), and enzyme-treated soybean meal (ESBM) on weaned piglets. The results showed that ESBM had advantages over the other two protein sources in improving growth performance, antioxidant capacity, immunity, fecal microbiota, and metabolites in piglets.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of licorice flavonoids powder (LFP) on the growth performance and intestinal health of piglets. The results showed that dietary LFP supplementation improved the growth performance of weaning piglets, reduced the incidence of diarrhea, and enhanced intestinal morphological structure, barrier function, immune function, and development. The addition of 150 mg/kg LFP was found to be the most effective.

Summary: Intramuscular fat (IMF) is an important indicator of pork sensory quality, influenced by dietary nutrients, genes, and metabolic pathways in pigs. Nutrigenetics and nutrigenomics provide a powerful tool for estimating nutrient requirements and programming dietary nutrient supply based on individual pig's genetic make-up. Understanding the mechanisms of fat metabolism and IMF deposition is crucial for improving swine production and economically important traits.

Summary: Little is known about the influence of slaughter weight (SW) on growth performance, feed efficiency, carcass quality, and ham curing aptitude in the dry-cured ham production system. However, increasing SW has been found to have a positive impact on pig growth performance and improve ham quality traits.

Summary: The current nutritional recommendations for pigs do not apply to pigs weighing more than 140 kg, as demonstrated in this study. Energy restriction has little effect on the estimated metabolizable energy requirements for heavier pigs. The study also establishes the minimum requirement for standardized ileal digestible lysine in protein deposition.

Summary: The study examined the impact of Fusarium mycotoxin fumonisins (FUMs) on the digestive functions of fattening pigs. The findings showed that a dietary intake of 40 mg/kg FUMs significantly disrupted the digestibility of certain amino acids in the pigs. However, this dosage did not have a drastic effect on the digestibility of crude protein and amino acids in fattening pigs.

Summary: Future technologies in poultry nutrition need to support growth, gut health, and energy status of birds. In ovo nutrition is a new technique where nutrients are injected into the egg to compensate for energy deficit during hatch. This study tested a carbohydrate mixture and found that it may reduce hatchability but enhance growth performance and muscle weight in broilers.
