Fermented Rapeseed Meal as a Dietary Intervention to Improve Mineral Utilization and Bone Health in Weaned Piglets.

This study examined the effects of incorporating fermented rapeseed meal (FRSM) into the diet of newly weaned piglets on mineral digestibility and bone health. Experimental diets containing varying levels of FRSM (8%, 12%, 15%, and 25%) were introduced to the piglets at 18 days of age, prior to weaning at 28 days. These diets were continued until the piglets were euthanized at 42 days of age.

Nutritional and Antioxidative Benefits of Dietary Macroalgae Supplementation in Weaned Piglets.

This study explores the effects of dietary brown macroalgae () inclusion on digestibility and blood biochemical indices and redox markers in piglets fed diets with varying levels (0%, 0.6% and 1%) of macroalgae from 18 to 64 days of age. Macroalgae significantly influenced lipid profiles, reducing total cholesterol levels (quadratic contrast = 0.
