The success and sustainability of aquaculture depends on minimising the operational cost of
feed that in general comprises 50–60% of the total cost in intensive farming. The major feed …

Viscosity is a physicochemical property associated with dietary fibers, particularly soluble
dietary fibers. Viscous dietary fibers thicken when mixed with fluids and include …

Early weaning of piglets is often accompanied by a severe growth check and diarrhoea. It is
well established that this process is multi-factorial and that post-weaning anorexia and …

The aim of this paper is to review the most relevant findings obtained over the last four years
on the physiology, microbiology and immunology of the gastrointestinal tract of pigs as …

This study assessed the effects of dietary inclusion of solid-state fermented (SSF) brewer's
spent grain (BSG) with Aspergillus ibericus on nutrient and energy digestibility, digestive …

In this review, the definition and terminology of amino acid (AA) digestibility and ileal
endogenous losses of AA (IAA end) in poultry and swine nutrition are discussed. Compared …

Fibres from a variety of sources are a common constituent of pig feeds. They provide a
means to utilise locally-produced plant materials which are often a by-product of the food or …

Reducing the CP content and increasing the fermentable carbohydrates (FC) content of the
diet may counteract the negative effects of protein fermentation in newly weaned piglets fed …

The effects of diet type (corn-vs. wheat-based) and multicarbohydrase addition on growth
performance, digesta pH and viscosity, intestinal populations of Clostridium perfringens and …

Increased dietary fiber (DF) intake elicits a wide range of physiologic effects, not just locally
in the gut, but systemically. DFs can greatly alter the gut milieu by affecting the gut …
