Hourly feeding of lactating sows: Enhancing performance and welfare in smart farm-based systems

An hourly feeding regime could optimize sow productive performance, body condition, milk yield, welfare, and piglet growth in swine production.

Figure 2: Proposed protocol according to the puberty induction treatmente response. Note: if you see < 70% gilts estrus by 6-days after treatment--> you likely are having problems with estrus detection.

Summary of the 27th IPVS and 15th ESPHM-ECPHM: Reproduction, welfare, and nutrition

In this third installment, Antonio Palomo summarizes the papers presented on reproduction, nutrition, precision livestock farming, and other aspects of swine production.

NutritionAbstract

The effect of dietary supplementation with garcinol during late gestation on bile acid metabolism disorders and the performance of sows and newborn piglets

Garcinol supplementation may reduce bile acid metabolism disorders and improve sow and newborn piglet performance.

DanBred dam lines. Key management aspects

We interviewed Jesús Etxart to talk about the latest management recommendations for DanBred sows.

ManagementAbstract

Effects over time of different types of sounds on gestating sows’ behavior

Frequent emission of short sounds can reduce time spent sleeping and cause behavior changes. However, gestating sows can habituate to the sound stimuli and return to normal behavior.

Fertility responses of melatonin-treated gilts when there are different temperatures and lighting conditions

Melatonin treatment had positive effects on estrous duration and embryo survival, especially in the summer.

NutritionAbstract

333 Emerging voices: Biochemical, neurochemical, morphological and proteomic study of different nutritional conditions in Iberian pigs

The consequences of different nutritional changes were analyzed, whether applied to the pregnant mother or directly to the offspring. Doctoral thesis from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, UAB, Spain. Advised by Anna Bassols and with the collaboration of Antonio Gonzalez de Bulnes.

NutritionAbstract

Flavour supplementation to improve sow reproductive performance and microbiota during late gestation and lactation

Flavor supplementation improved the reproductive performance of the sows by changing the fecal microbial profile.

333 Emerging voices - Individual and nutritional factors affecting the homogeneity and performance of Iberian pig production

An investigation at both phenotypic and genotypic levels of the implications of the intrauterine development of the piglets in the postnatal growth. Doctoral thesis from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, UCM, Spain, advised by Antonio Gonzalez de Bulnes, Cristina Óvilo Martín and Beatriz Isabel Redondo.

ManagementAbstract

Preferential associations in an unstable social network: applying social network analysis to a dynamic sow herd

These findings highlight the complexities involved when forming social preferences and present a platform for further exploring the motivations for preferential associations among intensively farmed pigs.

ManagementAbstract

Reproductive performance of gilts and weaned sows grouped at different days after insemination

Group housing gestating sows 2 days after breeding compromised litter size; however, mixing gilts on days 1 to 4 after breeding did not impair reproductive performance.
