Les prix des céréales durablement sur un plateau haut

Après l’envolée du prix des céréales au printemps, certains cours se détendent, d’autres se stabilisent. Mais il reste certain que les changements récents sont en train d’apporter de nouvelles contraintes…

Economic assessment of amino acid deficiency or feed restriction during the pig fattening period

Abstract. The profitability of pig farms is influenced greatly by feed efficiency and carcass grading. The aim of this study wasto assess the economic impact of two feeding strategies during…

Which economic consequences to expect for pig farms around an African swine fever outbreak?

Abstract. African swine fever (ASF) represents a major threat to pig production, with serious economic losses. Due to ASF occurrence in wild boars in Belgium, France has drawn up a…

Individual trajectories of pig farming in France: mechanisms, determinants and prospects

Abstract. Carried out in 2021 and supported by the French pig interprofession Inaporc, this study described how the structural concentration of pig farms operates at the individual scale and explains…

Contribution of pig farming to particulate emissions: analysis of emission factors and simulations

Abstract. France is committed to reducing its emissions of fine particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in size (PM2.5) by 57% by 2030 compared to 2005 emissions. Compliance with the…

In-depth analysis of supernumerary piglets management using new functionalities of PertMat

Abstract. The expert tool PertMat developed by Ifip-Institut du Porc performs automatic pre-weaning mortality profiling and detection of main risk factors in pig farms. First results showed that large litter…

Antibiotic-free pig supply schemes in France: a lever for valorisation and progress

Abstract. The European project ROADMAP promotes transitions for prudent and responsible antimicrobial use in livestock farming. In this project, we analysed the antibiotic (AB)-free schemes in pig industry in France.…

In utero heat stress and post-natal feeding behaviour, growth and carcass performance in pigs

Abstract. Heat stress (HS) experienced in utero could have long-term effects on pig performance and especially affects lean deposition rate during the growing finishing phase. The aim of the study…

Genetic effect on the feed to muscle gain ratio of growing purebred pigs

The general aim of the national EFFISCAN project was to investigate the interest of using computed tomography to access new criteria related to body composition and feed efficiency. The specific…

Early detection of diarrhoea in weaned piglets from individual feed, water and weighing data

Abstract. This study, part of HealthyLivestock project, aims to analyse individual water and feed consumption related to weight of weaned piglets and their link to diarrhoea. Data were collected from…

Effects of restricted feeding and sex on the feed to muscle gain ratio of growing pigs

Visuels d'intervention (EAAP 2022) à Porto, Portugal, le 5-9 septembre 2022. Abstract. The aim of the study was to determine tissular growth performance by using computed tomography and to test…

Assessment of dairy sheep carcass composition with X-ray computed tomography

Abstract. The objective was to test a CT-acquisition protocol, with automated settings, for post-mortem assessment of dairy sheep carcasses using also two image analysis protocols (IAP). Twenty-six sheep of both…
