A holistic approach for a zinc oxide-free piglet diet
As most of us are now aware, the use of therapeutic doses of zinc oxide (ZnO) for preventing and controlling post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in young piglets will be banned in animal feeds in the EU from June 2022.

Effects of varying lipid sources as alternatives to zinc oxide or Carbadox on nursery pig growth performance and faecal consistency
A total of 360 weaned pigs (DNA; 241 × 600; initially 11.9 ± 0.02 lb) were used in a 35-d study evaluating the ability of varying lipid sources to replace ZnO or carbadox in early nursery pig diets.

Hot melt extruded-based nano zinc as an alternative to the pharmacological dose of ZnO in weanling piglets
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of hot-melt extruded ZnO nano-particles (HME-ZnO) as an alternative for P-ZnO on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, Zn bioavailability, intestinal microbiota, and intestinal morph ...

The pathway to zinc oxide-free piglet production: Success starts with the gut
Pig producers across the European Union (EU) are now preparing for the upcoming ban on zinc oxide (ZnO), which will come into effect in June 2022. Under this new regulation, the use of therapeutic doses of ZnO in animal feeds for preventing ...

Effect of zinc source and level on growth performance and zinc status of weaned piglets
Diarrhea is common in weaned piglets. Feed supplementation with Zn is one strategy for preventing such disturbances. A total ban on the use of therapeutic doses of Zn will be introduced from June, 2022 in the European Union; hence, the eval ...

Successful pig production without zinc oxide: How to thrive and survive
From June 2022, a zinc oxide ban, prohibiting the use of therapeutic doses of zinc oxide (ZnO) in animal feeds to control post-weaning diarrhea in piglets will come into effect in the European Union (EU).

Zinc phosphate-based nanoparticles as alternatives to zinc oxide in diet of weaned piglets
The high doses of zinc oxide (ZnO) administered orally to piglets for the prevention of diarrhea and increase of growth rate can contaminate pig farms and the surrounding environment. Therefore, there is a need to find a replacement of high ...

A combination of yeast beta-glucan and milk hydrolysate is a suitable alternative to zinc oxide in the race to alleviate post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is currently used as a dietary supplement to support gut homeostasis during the standard 'abrupt' weaning practices in commercial pig production. However, a replacement is urgently required as a ban on ZnO usage is ...

Towards zero zinc oxide: Feeding strategies to manage post-weaning diarrhoea in piglets
Zinc oxide (ZnO) at pharmacological doses is extensively employed in the pig industry as an effective tool to manage post-weaning diarrhea (PWD), a condition that causes huge economic losses because of its impact on the most pivotal phase o ...

The impact of the FORMI-product range in zinc-oxide reduced piglet diets
During the late 1980s, it was discovered that pharmacological concentrations (1,500 to 3,000ppm) of zinc oxide (ZnO) resulted in reduced post weaning diarrhoea (PWD) and increased growth in weanling pigs. It had been widely used at such dos ...
