Recently, Xiangfeng Kong's research team from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Sciences, systematically investigated the growth and development, body metabolism, and intestinal microecological profiles of normal birth weight pigs and IUGR pigs during different growth stages.
Recently, a research team led by professor Xiangfeng Kong from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Sciences, systematically studied the effects of dietary probiotics and synbiotics supplementation during gestation and lactation on Bama mini-pigs and explored the mechanism from the aspects of nutrient metabolism, intestinal microecology, and gene expression.
Recently, a team of researchers from China Agricultural University and the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture (ISA) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a study to evaluate the composition of amino acids, fatty acids, and metabolic profiles in the longissimus thoracis (LM) muscle sample from Shaziling pigs aged 30, 90, 150, 210, and 300 days, with the aim of investigating the effects of age on the abovementioned parameters and of identifying what can reflect Shaziling pigs’ meat quality traits.
Researchers from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture (ISA) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences investigated the effects of replacing inorganic Zn (ZnSO4) with organic Zn (Zn-Glycine) in the diets of ewe on the pancreatic function of the offspring. They found that pancreatic zinc contents in kids tended to be increased when replacing ZnSO4 with Zn- Glycine. The serum insulin concentrations were greater and the glucagon were less in the Zn- Glycine group when compared to ZnSO4 group. The activities of lipase and chymotrypsin were enhanced when replacing ZnSO4 with Zn-Glycine.
Recently, researchers from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Sciences, systematically studied the feeding effects of dietary nucleotides in sows and discussed its mechanism of placental transport, nutrient metabolism, intestinal development, and other aspects.
Recently, Xiangfeng Kong 's research team from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Sciences, systematically studied the feeding effects of dietary betaine in sows and piglets diet on Bama mini-pigs and discussed its mechanism of hormone secretion, nutrient metabolism, intestinal microecology, gene expression, and other aspects. This team found that dietary betaine supplementation can improve the composition of colostrum and intestinal microecology of sows, and regulate the body's nutritional metabolism and reproductive hormone secretion, thereby improving the reproductive performance of sows. Dietary betaine can also enhance the body's immune function and antioxidant properties, improve intestinal microecology, and regulate the secretion of hormones and nutrient metabolism, thereby promoting the growth and development of suckling piglets.
On August 26, the 6th International Conference on Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology (ICoFAB) was held at Mahasarakham University, Thailand. Over 150 scientists from China, Thailand, attended the conference. With invitation as the keynote speaker from the committee of the conference, professor WU Xin from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture, Chinese Academy of Sciences att...
