In terms of nutritional significance, some amino acids are considered more importance than others depending on the specific stage of the cow’s productive life and the response expected, whether milk production, fertility, or immune response. Although amino acids requirements for specific functions are limited, research on the functional role of amino acids has progressively increased over the past decade as a consequence of the increased interest in improving N utilization in dairy farms. Thu...

Oxidative stress is most simply defined as an imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants, resulting in cellular injury and activation of pathologic pathways. Increased levels of oxidative stress lead to increased levels of protein and lipid damage. This can be detrimental for animal health and performance. Understanding the nutritional strategies to alleviate oxidative stress is crucial to maintain their health and performance.
SFR as an independent knowledge institute on animal nutrition regularly receives questions on the use of less common and new feedstuffs (temporary) available in specific world areas.

The significant increase in litter size in the last years has resulted in lower average piglet birth weights and decreased uniformity within the litter. Consequently, piglet viability decreased, resulting in decreased piglet growth and increased mortality, especially during the first days after farrowing. What nutritional strategies can help the sow to improve litter uniformity and piglet’s birth weight?
