Abstract

The main focus of these abstracts is the evaluation of various factors affecting pig growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality. The first study investigated the impact of resiliency to weaning stress on growth and meat quality in gilt pigs, finding minimal effects on carcass merit and no differences in meat quality. The second study examined the effects of feeding nursery pigs diets containing varying levels of mycotoxin-contaminated corn fines, concluding that pigs can distinguish between diets with different mycotoxin levels but showed no significant differences in growth performance when restricted to a single diet. The third study assessed the supplementation of celluTEIN, a feed additive, at different concentrations during nursery and grow-finish phases, reporting improved growth performance and feed efficiency, especially when supplemented throughout both phases.
