There are several factors that affect the welfare and meat quality of pigs during pre-slaughter transport. Among various factors, the effects of weather conditions and loading density were studied. A total of 3,726 finishing pigs were allotted to one of nine groups arranged in a 3 × 3 factorial design according to the weather conditions (low temperature [LT], under 10°C; normal temperature [NT], 10°C-24°C; high temperature [HT], upper 24°C), and loading density (low density [LD], upper 0.

- The study evaluated the impact of exogenous protease on various factors in broilers, including performance, nutrient digestibility, and economic outcomes, using 90 Arbor Acres chickens divided into three dietary treatment groups.
- The group that received the protease supplement showed improved growth performance and better intestinal morphology compared to the group with a nutrient-deficient diet alone, while also achieving lower fecal scores and higher digestibility of protein and amino acids.
- Although there were no significant changes in carcass yields or organ weights, the addition of protease was found to reduce feed costs and enhance profit margins, suggesting it can be an effective economic supplement for broiler diets.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of stimbiotic (STB), a xylanase and xylo-oligosaccharide complex. A total of 36 male weaned pigs with initial body weights of 8.49 ± 0.
