158 Nutrient digestibility in growing pigs fed a corn distiller’s dried grains with soluble-based diet with multi-enzyme supplementation Open
Dietary enzyme supplementation may enhance the digestibility and utilization of non-starch components in fiber-rich feedtuffs which are increasingly used in swine diets. A xylanase/cellulase enzyme product (ENZ) was previously shown to inc…

PSII-1 Bacillus-based probiotic supplementation to sows and weaned progeny help to support live performance and manage gross lung lesions in a nursery H1N2 Influenza challenge Open
Recent studies have indicated that providing an effective probiotic to dams and their progeny allows the pigs to respond more favorably to viral challenges (Lerner et al., 2020; Bertram et al., 2022). Sixteen pregnant dams (parity 1 to 5) …

306 Nutrient Digestibility and Dietary Energy Values in Growing Pigs Fed a Corn Distillers Dried Grains with Soluble (Cddgs)-Based Diet with Multi-Enzyme Supplementation Open
Dietary enzyme supplementation may enhance the digestibility and utilization of non-starch components of the diet by pigs. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a multi-carbohydrase enzyme (ENZ) in growing pigs for apparent …

Effect of a multicarbohydrase containing α-galactosidase in sow lactating diets with varying energy density Open
Sow productivity improvements are associated with high energetic demand due to increasing prolificity. The reproductive life and longevity of sows, and the readiness for weaning of the offspring may be impaired when sows loose significant …

89 Practical Screening of Enzymes in Pigs Fed Diets Containing High Dried Distillers’ Grain (DDG) Open
After two decades of using corn dried distillers’ grains (DDG) in swine diets, there is still a general perception that although exogenous enzymes may increase digestibility of various nutrients, it is often difficult to translate these be…

PSVI-14 Impact of <i>Bacillus Subtilis</i> and <i>Bacillus Licheniformis</i> on Weaning Weight and Subsequent Performance, Health and Immune Parameters When Challenged with PRRSV with and Without PRRS Vaccination Open
A study was conducted examining the impact of feeding BioPlus 2B to PRRSV naïve sows during gestation and lactation on litter performance and on post-weaning performance when challenged with PRRSV in vaccinated and unvaccinated pigs. A tot…

194 Efficacy of a Multicarbohydrase Containing Alpha-galactosidase in Lactating Sows: Impact on Progeny Weight and Uniformity Open
Modern lactating sows are under high energetic demand due to increasing prolificity. Significant body weight (BW) losses during lactation may impair sows’ reproductive life and longevity, and the readiness for weaning of the offspring. Thi…
View article: 270 Efficacy of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis (BioPlus2B®) on sow lactation performance, litter growth, nursery performance and health of pigs challenged with PRRS virus post-wean
270 Efficacy of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis (BioPlus2B®) on sow lactation performance, litter growth, nursery performance and health of pigs challenged with PRRS virus post-wean Open
Probiotics have been shown to support normal growth and immune function in pigs in challenging environments. A commercial probiotic (BioPlus2B®) containing two microbial species (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis) was tested to …
