DOI: 10.1016/j.biosystemseng.2021.02.010
Abstract: Piglet tracking is critical to automated piglet behaviour and welfare analysis. Following the tracking-by-detection paradigm, we have developed an online piglet tracking network (OPTN) composed of a base network, a detection head and an association… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jas/skaa054.176
Abstract: An experiment was conducted to test the hypothesis that hybrid rye can replace corn in gestation and lactation diets without negatively affecting sow and litter performance. For gestation and lactation, a corn-soybean meal control diet… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jas/skaa054.325
Abstract: Piglet weaning weight is a critical factor that influences post-weaning growth and performance. Weaning weight is a function of birth weight and the amount and nutrient density of the milk consumed during lactation. Milk production… read more here.
