the early events that occur during gestation and lactation. Therefore, a range of dietary and …

On commercial farms, young growing pigs are frequently affected by health problems from
multifactorial origins (eg environmental changes, biosecurity, management, and feed) that …

Skeletal muscle growth during the early postnatal period is rapid in the pig and dependent
on the capacity of muscle to respond to anabolic and catabolic stimuli. Muscle mass is …

Despite advances in the nutritional support of low birth weight and early-weaned piglets,
most experience reduced extrauterine growth performance. To further optimize nutritional …

When neonatal pigs continuously fed formula are supplemented with leucine pulses, muscle
