Humans and mice perceive the umami taste via a trans-membrane heterodimeric receptor consisting of T1R1 and T1R3 proteins that are G-protein coupled to intracellular calcium release. To identify the porcine umami taste receptor, vallate papilla tissue samples were obtained from a 6-month-old male pig and total RNA was extracted, purified,…
Two trials were conducted in newly weaned 26-d-old pigs to study the effect of the addition of an enhanced milky flavor to feed and water. In trial 1 and 2 respectively, 192 and 132 piglets (Landrace X Pietrain) were distributed in four or three blocks of 12 pens according to…
Two trials were conducted in newly weaned 26d-old pigs to study the effect of the addition of an enhanced milky flavor to feed with and without its water-soluble formulation applied to drinking water. In trials 1 and 2 respectively, 192 and 132 piglets (Landrace x Pietrain) were distributed in four…
The effect of adding an enhanced milky flavor to a post-weaning feeding program combined with a standard milky flavor in drinking water on piglet performance was investigated. Ninety-six newly weaned 26 d-old pigs (Landrace x Pietrain), in 24 pens of 4 animals each, were used. The animals were offered free…
The effects of adding a high intensity sweetener (HIS) to feed and of the combination of adding a milky flavor (MF) in drinking water and in feed on the performance of weanling pigs were investigated. One hundred and twenty newly weaned 26 d-old pigs (Landrace x Pietrain) in 24 pens…
