Pig production systems provide multiple benefits to humans. However, the global increase in
meat consumption has profound consequences for our earth. This perspective describes two …

The efficiency of pig production using nutrients has increased over the years. Still, better
efficiency of nutrient utilization can be achieved by feeding pigs with diets adjusted to their …

Implications• Utilization of precision feeding techniques in growing pig operations can
significantly reduce production costs (> 8%), protein and phosphorous intake (25%) and …

Feed-use (FU) amino acids, at constant performance, make it possible to reduce the protein
content of pig feeds and nitrogen excretion by the animals. The aim of this study was to …

Nutrient requirement change over time and individual variability in pigs influences the
efficiency of nutrient utilization. These variabilities should be considered to predict nutrient …

The impact of moving from conventional to precision feeding systems in growing–finishing
pig operations on animal performance, nutrient utilization, and body and carcass …

Modern animal scientists, industry, and managers have never faced a more complex world.
Precision livestock technologies have altered management in confined operations to meet …

This study was developed to assess the impact on performance, nutrient balance, serum
parameters and feeding costs resulting from the switching of conventional to precision …

The feeding behavior of growing–finishing pigs reared under precision feeding strategies
was studied in 35 barrows and 35 females (average initial BW of 30.4±2.2 kg) over 84 d …

Purpose Use a holistic individual life cycle assessment (LCA) to investigate possible
mitigation of environmental impacts through optimisation of overall farm feed efficiency by …
