Calcium-to-phosphorus ratio in pig diets established by new study
2017-09-12 11:00:00| National Hog Farmer
Most pig diets are currently formulated with marginal phosphorus, partly due to cost of the ingredient and partly because producers want to avoid having to mitigate excreted phosphorus in manure.

Rice Bran in Weanling Pig Diets Does Not Reduce Growth Performance
2017-02-06 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - Research at the University of Illinois has demonstrated that adding rice bran to weanling pig diets does not have a detrimental effect on growth performance. Rice bran is a co-product of the rice milling process which is often added to swine diets; it is relatively inexpensive, and it may improve gut health in weanling pigs.

Added Fat in Pig Diets May Affect Digestibility of Nutrients
2016-12-02 01:00:00| ThePigSite - Industry News
US - Added fat increases the energy content of swine diets, but it may also affect the digestibility of nutrients. Dr Hans H. Stein, professor of animal sciences at Illinois, and a team of researchers have studied the effects of fat sources with different concentrations of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids on mineral digestibility.
