Summary: Pigs, especially the Mashen and Large White breeds, exhibit diverse transcriptional responses in skeletal muscle under cold stress. The Mashen pigs demonstrate stable physiological homeostasis and a strong immune response, while the Large White pigs primarily regulate heat production and energy metabolism. The PRSS8 gene plays a role in cellular energy metabolism and thermogenesis. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying cold adaptation in pigs.

Summary: The use of antibiotics in animal feeds has been phased out, leading to a need for alternative methods to maintain the intestinal health and growth of nursery pigs. Beta-glucans, specifically microbial beta-glucans, have been shown to have positive effects on intestinal health and growth. However, cereal beta-glucans, which are found in high amounts in cereal grains-based diets, can interfere with the positive effects of microbial beta-glucans. The structural differences between cereal and microbial beta-glucans play a crucial role in their functional effects on nursery pigs.

Summary: Intensive pig farming practices have led to an increase in post-weaning diarrhea caused by F18(+) Escherichia coli, which is often treated with antibiotics. However, the overuse of antibiotics has resulted in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, posing risks to pig production and public health. F18(+) E. coli damages the intestines of nursery pigs, leading to reduced growth performance. Various nutritional interventions, such as low crude protein formulation and probiotics, have been explored to improve intestinal health and growth. Effective strategies to control F18(+) E. coli are crucial for pig production.

Summary: Data from Europe shows that commercial pig diets in the United States contain more calcium than formulated, while the analyzed concentrations of total calcium and phosphorus in these diets are not higher than formulated values. The study found that on average, the calculated calcium content in US pig diets was 0.19 percentage units higher than the formulated values, while the oversupply of phosphorus was only 0.06 percentage units. Therefore, more attention should be given to the actual concentration of calcium in pig diets to avoid oversupply and its negative effects.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of soy protein concentrate (SPC) replacing animal protein supplements on mucosa-associated microbiota, intestinal health, and growth performance of nursery pigs. The results showed that SPC can replace fish meal, poultry meal, or blood plasma without affecting growth performance and intestinal health of nursery pigs. However, when SPC replaced all three animal protein supplements, it reduced the growth of nursery pigs mainly by reducing feed intake.
