Canada’s Renaissance BioScience (RBSC) is partnering with the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) at the University of Saskatchewan on two projects aimed at boosting health and immunity in newly weaned piglets.
Diets for newly weaned piglets should be formulated to minimize the glycemic load while amino acids, minerals, and vitamins should be provided to manage health, not weight gain, say animal nutrition experts.
Weaned piglets fed diets containing a monolaurin and tributyrin blend had equal performance to piglets fed a diet supplemented with high levels of zinc oxide, finds a Greek study.
