Trouw Nutrition research decodes piglet potential at 16th Symposium on Digestive Physiology of Pigs

Trouw Nutrition, Nutreco’s livestock feed business, is collaborating with swine researchers, veterinarians, and nutritionists to share insights that decode piglets’ physiological potential during the 16th International Symposium on Digestive Physiology of Pigs (DPP-NA), 20-23 May in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, USA.

In addition to serving as a gold sponsor of DPP-NA, Trouw Nutrition is contributing research on animal nutrition, gastro-intestinal development, water acidification, mycotoxin mitigation, and more. The company’s scientific contributions to the symposium include participation on two piglet nutrition panels and the submission of five scientific abstracts:

The balance of dietary SID Thr with total dietary fibre for weaning piglets to optimise their growth performance, intestinal morphology, and mucin secretion – Michael Wellington and co-authors

Particle size of oat hulls in diets of nursery pigs influences their gastro-intestinal maturation – Tetske Hulshof and co-authors

(Oral presentation) Transcriptomic insights into the ileum and hypothalamus of poorly adapted weaner pigs – Lluis Faba Camats and co-authors

Effects of organic acid supplementation via water on the performance of weaned piglets – Karolina Von Zuben Augusto, Giseli Heim, Andrea Maria Silvestrim, and co-authors
