A Comparison of Stocking Methods for Pasture-Based Growing-Finishing Pig Production Systems

ANIMALS, 10(10).

By: S. Pietrosemoli n , J. Green n & M. Villamide *

author keywords: growing-finishing pigs; pasture-based pig production; stocking methods; tall fescue (schedonorus arundinaceus); ground cover; soil nutrients
TL;DR: Comparing the effects of continuous, rotational and strip-grazing stocking methods for growing-finishing pigs on tall fescue pastures indicated the potential of both alternative stocking methods to be implemented in sustainable pasture-based pig production systems. (via Semantic Scholar)

Effects of Growing-Finishing Pig Stocking Rates on Bermudagrass Ground Cover and Soil Properties

ANIMALS, 10(9).

By: S. Pietrosemoli n , C. Raczkowski *, J. Green n & M. Villamide *

author keywords: pasture pigs; bermudagrass; stocking rates; soil sampling position; soil depth; ground cover; soil properties; soil nutrients; nutrients distribution; outdoor pigs
TL;DR: This study compared the effects of four different pig stocking rates over two 14-week grazing periods, on the vegetation ground cover and soil properties of bermudagrass paddocks and validated the existence of a spatial pattern of soil properties, which differed among sampling positions and depths.

Sows-Gilts Stocking Rates and Their Environmental Impact in Rotationally Managed Bermudagrass Paddocks

ANIMALS, 10(6).

By: S. Pietrosemoli n , J. Green n & M. Jesus Villamide

author keywords: bermudagrass; sows-gilts; stocking rate; ground cover; soil nutrients; pasture-based pig systems; outdoor pig systems; grazing pigs
TL;DR: The stocking rates should be kept in the range of 10 to 15 sows-gilts ha−1 to minimize the environmental impact of sows -gilts managed on bermudagrass. (via Semantic Scholar)

Forage Consumption and Its Effects on the Performance of Growing Swine-Discussed in Relation to European Wild Boar (Sus scrofa L.) in Semi-Extensive Systems: A Review

[Review of ]. ANIMALS, 9(7).

By: M. Jordana Rivero *, V. Rodriguez-Estevez *, S. Pietrosemoli n , C. Carballo *, A. Cooke * & A. Kongsted *

author keywords: forage intake; grazing pigs; outdoor pig production; free-range pigs; grazing behaviour; sustainability
TL;DR: This review collates the available scientific evidence on pasture-based production of wild boar and domestic pigs, to identify factors that influence feed intake, performance, and behaviour and explores factors explored include season/weather, dietary supplementation, grazing management, forage availability, herbage quality, and sward type.

Effect of including sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam) meal in finishing pig diets on growth performance, carcass traits and pork quality

ANIMAL SCIENCE JOURNAL, 87(10), 1281–1290.

By: S. Pietrosemoli n , O. Moron-Fuenmayor*, A. Paez * & M. Villamide *

author keywords: carcass; performance; pork quality; sensorial; sweet potato
MeSH headings : Animal Feed / economics; Animal Nutritional Physiological Phenomena / physiology; Animals; Cost Savings; Diet / veterinary; Eating / physiology; Female; Food Quality; Ipomoea batatas; Male; Meat; Quantitative Trait, Heritable; Swine / growth & development; Swine / physiology
TL;DR: It is suggested that up to 20% SPM inclusion is a viable feed strategy for finishing pigs, easily replicable in small farm settings and similar order of magnitude to the decrease in dietary energy. (via Semantic Scholar)
