Simple Summary Modern sows face increased nutritional challenges due to inadequate
feeding programs causing excessive maternal tissue loss and reproductive failure. Rapid …

Dietary lysophospholipids (LPL) would influence milk composition of sows, thus positively
affect intestinal health of offspring. The objective of this study was to determine effects of …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the comparative effects of benzoic acid and
sodium benzoate in feeds on digesta pH, urinary pH, and growth performance for nursery …

Objective Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of Saccharomyces
yeast postbiotics (SYP) in feeds for sows on the growth of offspring (Exp. 1), for nursery pigs …

Dairy cows commonly undergo negative Ca balance accompanied by hypocalcemia after
parturition. A negative dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) strategy has been used …

High-prolific sows have a high incidence of stillbirth and asphyxiated piglets due to calcium
deficiencies. Calcium is important for enhancing farrowing efficacy and colostrum …

Simple Summary We fed diets with low and high levels of calcium or a negative dietary
cation–anion difference (DCAD) to dairy cows before calving and compared their colostrum …

Following the use of sugar beet pulp that was retrospectively found to be predominantly
contaminated with zearalenone (ZEN) in diets of reproducing sows largely exceeding the …

Diets that provide a negative dietary anion cation difference (DCAD) and supplement with a
vitamin D metabolite 25-OH-D3 (calcidiol) may increase calcium availability at parturition …

Simple Summary In the present study, we tested whether supplementing dietary calcium for
older sows would increase their blood calcium concentrations and decrease the incidence …
