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 ...

How dietary protein source affects post-weaning intestinal development and microbiome of normal and intrauterine growth retardation pigs
About 15-20% of pigs are classified as having Intrauterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) or low body weight at birth [1]. The consequence of IUGR is that body growth and intestine development are compromised in utero because of a higher metabol ...
