The impact of porcine spray-dried plasma protein and dried egg protein harvested from hyper-immunized hens, provided in the presence or absence of subtherapeutic levels of antibiotics in the feed, on growth and indicators of intestinal function and physiology of nursery pigs
The objective of this experiment was to compare the effects of spray-dried plasma protein (SDPP) and dried egg protein (DEP), without (AB−) or with (AB+) in-feed antibiotics, on growth performance and markers of intestinal health in nursery ...

In vitro supplementation with the porcine plasma product, betaGRO, stimulates activity of porcine fetal myoblasts and neonatal satellite cells in a divergent manner
These findings suggest betaGRO® supplementation may enhance both myogenesis in utero and postnatal muscle hypertrophy. In utero, betaGRO® may help increase the muscle progenitor cell pool, thus possibly enhancing the establishment of muscle ...
