Environmental challenges such as heat stress and infectious diseases have continuously prevented modern pig genotypes to achieve their maximum phenotypic potential (protein deposition) prior to slaughter. However, only a limited number of studies have been carried out to understand how the dietary amino acid (AA) supplementation may contribute to minimizing the impact of inflammatory resp…
This project aims to continue the study (JP1) of the factors responsible for the variability of pig performance and thus establish nutritional programs based on the concept of precision nutrition. The health status of animals associated with management practices and ambient temperature has been considered one of the main factors that contribute to this variation. Therefore, the objectives…
This project aims to continue the study (JP1) of the factors responsible for the variability of pig performance and thus establish nutritional programs based on the concept of precision nutrition. In the actual context of global warming and livestock production increase in hot climate countries areas, livestock animals will be more and more exposed to heat stress. In addition, the associa…
The aim of this project is to study the variability problem of animal response when establishing nutritional programs (pigs) and the application of the concept of the feeding precision (pigs and poultry) using integrated management systems. For this purpose, three studies will be carried out. In the first two studies, the optimal methionine and threonine level for a pig population based o…
The activation of the immune system demands a massive contribution of Amino Acids (AA), which can come from ingested feed or metabolized from the muscular tissues. Challenging hygienic-sanitary conditions and stress factors result in recurrent induction of immune response, which can be considered one of the main factors influencing animal performance variation, especially in the initial g…
Currently, milk pricing is based on milk volume and quality. Milk fat is one of the most important milk components considered in the establishment of the final milk price. Consequently, researchers intend to better understand the effect of nutrition on the milk fat synthesis in the mammary gland. Recent studies showed that amino acid supplementation in diets of dairy cows affects milk fat…
The aim of the project is to evaluate the effect of dietary amino acid supplementation using a Precision feeding system on the performance and body composition of pigs housed under different environmental conditions. 96 female swine will be used distributed in a factorial scheme2×2×2: two environmental conditions (ideal - single-origin animals housed under the ideal condition of room temp…

Understanding the nutrient requirements and metabolism dynamics can be an important tool for adjusting nutritional programs to farm animals under a sanitary challenge. Therefore, this project aims to deepen the performance trial previously proposed to FAPESP (Process No. 2019/20150-3) by performing different approaches to the statistical analysis of the experiment data, interpreting, and …
The weaning is a most stressful period in pig production, in the which intestinal dysbiosis reduces the protective action exerted by the commensal microbiota on the intestinal mucosa. Furthermore, the mixing of batches of piglets from different origins in the nurseries can pose a health challenge for good health piglets when housed with animals with poor health status. In a scenario of po…
In commercial farms, pigs are continuously exposed to sanitary challenges that influence health, metabolism, physiology and animal performance. Since amino acids (AA) are essential nutrients for defense system maintenance, post-absorptive metabolism can be altered by greater or lesser challenge, as well as by the animal's ability (influenced by genetic potential) to adapt. In this context…
Methionine (Met) is an essential amino acid (AA) and usually the second or third limiting AA in typical swine diets. The main Met sources include DL-Methionine (DL-Met; a 50:50 mixture of D- and L-isomers; 99% purity) and liquid methionine hydroxy analogue free acid (MHA FA, 88% Methionine hydroxy analog free acid). In swine feed, DL-Met has long been used as a source of supplemental Met,…
High ambient temperature is among the most important climatic factors influencing the performance of pigs, with behavioral, physiological and metabolic impacts. The analysis of the feeding behavior allows a better understanding about the effects of cyclical heat stress, a condition commonly occurring in Brazil. In this context, the aim of this project is to deepen the feeding behavior stu…
