An experiment was conducted to evaluate the interactive effects of dietary distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) in sow diets and housing systems on reproductive performance and longevity. Sows (311 for parity 0 and 90 for parity 1) were assigned randomly within parity to 1 of 4 treatments and maintained on these treatments for up to 3 reproductive cycles. Sows were fed either fortified corn-soybean meal control diets (CON) during gestation and lactation or diets containing 40% DDGS in…

Effect of feeding peroxidized dried distillers grains with solubles to sows and progeny on growth performance and metabolic oxidative status of nursery pigs.
TLDR
Inclusion of DDGS in sow diets reduced the VE status of pigs during lactation, but not in the nursery when MHD can be a concern, therefore, increasing the dietary VE concentration was unnecessary in nursery diets containing Ox-D.

TLDR
In conclusion, including DDGS in the sows diet could induce oxidative stress, which may be associated with the reduced individual birth and weaning weight of piglets.
Effects of different levels of feed intake during four short periods of gestation and housing systems on sows and litter performance.
Dietary Fiber Source and Length of Feeding Partitions Differentially Affected Behavior, Immune Status, and Productivity of Group-Housed Dry Sows
TLDR
Overall, the length of the feeding partitions influenced the aggressive encounters, other behaviors, and lesion scores; in turn, the fibrous source differentially influenced several immune measures and sow productivity.
Effects of different gestation housing types on reproductive performance of sows.
TLDR
Improved reproductive performance of sows from individual gestating housing was confirmed in this study and it was confirmed that individual-housing type had higher percentage of piglets born alive than the group- housing type.
Effects of l-carnitine and/or maize distillers dried grains with solubles in diets of gestating and lactating sows on the intestinal barrier functions of their offspring
TLDR
Dietary supplementation with l-carnitine in gestating and lactating sows had positive effects on intestinal barrier functions of newborn piglets and weaning piglets on day 21, but it did not have effects onestinal Barrier functions of growing–finishing pigs in the filial generation.
Does feeding frequency during lactation affect sows' body condition, reproduction and production performance?
TLDR
Three-times versus two-times daily feeding frequency during lactation increased feed intake and had a positive effect on sows' BCS and the frequency of shoulder lesions, while it also reduced incidents of return to estrus rate in young sows.
R 2 1 Reduced-Oil DDGS in Swine Diets
  • 2018
CORN DRIED DISTILLERS GRAINS WITH SOLUBLES (DDGS) has become the most popular, economical and widely available alternative feed ingredient for use in U.S. swine diets in all phases of production.…
Reproductive performance, offspring characteristics, and injury scores according to the housing system of gestating gilts
Social status and housing factors affect reproductive performance of pregnant sows in groups
TLDR
Differences between housing systems—in terms of group size, floor‐space allowance, feeding system, and genetics—could account for differences in effects of group housing sows during pregnancy on reproduction or cortisol‐related stress response.

Dietary effects of distillers dried grains with solubles on performance and milk composition of lactating sows.
TLDR
It was concluded that addition of up to 30% DDGS in a lactation diet will support satisfactory sow and litter performance and there were no differences in the concentrations of fat and protein in milk at weaning among dietary treatments.
Effects of distillers' dried grains with solubles on behavior of sows kept in a group-housed system with electronic sow feeders or individual stalls
TLDR
A study was conducted to investigate the effects of diets that contained distillers’ dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on stereotypic behaviors of gestating sows housed in stalls and aggression in a group-housed system.
Effect of soluble and insoluble fiber on energy digestibility, nitrogen retention, and fiber digestibility of diets fed to gestating sows.
TLDR
Increased intake of ISF decreased energy digestibility, whereas increasing SF intake improved energy digestible, suggesting that knowledge of specific dietary fiber components is necessary to accurately predict effects of dietary fiber on digestibility.
Amino acid digestibility of distillers dried grains with solubles, produced from sorghum, a sorghum-corn blend, and corn fed to growing pigs.
TLDR
Results of the experiment showed that a low correlation between the concentration and digestibility of AA indicates that it is desirable to develop in vitro procedures to predict digestible AA concentration in DDGS.
Sow performance when housed either in groups with electronic sow feeders or stalls
Evaluation of well-being, productivity, and longevity of pregnant sows housed in groups in pens with an electronic sow feeder or separately in gestation stalls.
TLDR
Interventions are needed to minimize aggression during initial introduction and mixing and at the ESF in pens to reduce severe injuries or lameness of gestating sows.

Type of accommodation during gestation affects growth performance and reproductive characteristics of gilt offspring.
TLDR
It is suggested that the type of gestation accommodation in which gilts are kept may affect production performance of gilt offspring, possibly by fetal programming.
