Post-insemination level of feeding does not influence embryonic survival and growth in highly prolific gilts
This study was designed to investigate the influence of a high level of feeding during early gestation on embryonic survival and variability of embryonic development in hyperprolific LW gilts.
Benefits of synchronizing ovulation with porcine luteinizing hormone in a fixed-time insemination protocol in weaned multiparous sows
Double insemination of multiparous sows, timed to coincide with optimal sow fertility, may improve litter size.
Effects of space allowance and floor type on gaseous emissions from gestating sows
This study aims to compare emissions of pollutant gases (NH3, N2O, CH4, CO2) from gestating sows kept on straw based deep litter depending on the space allowance and the floor type.
The effect of management strategies and parity on the behaviour and physiology of gestating sows housed in an electronic sow feeding system
Multiparous sows enter easily to the electronic feeders than primiparous without effects on feeder aggressions
Increased sow nutrition during midgestation affects muscle fiber development and meat quality, with no consequences on growth performance
Feeding pregnant sows amounts above the requirement during the period of secondary muscle fiber formation affected muscle fiber characteristics
Extra feed or lipid supplies 10 days prior to parturition and their consequences on farrowing and lactation performances
Extra lipid supplies before farrowing may improve piglet survival
Response of piglets weaned from sows fed diets supplemented with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) to an Escherichia coli K88+ oral challenge
The use of sow dietary CLA supplementation through late gestation and lactation may improve piglet immunity and health status after weaning
Effect of type and timing of oil supplements to sows during pregnancy on the growth performance and endocrine profile of low and normal birth weight offspring
The MUFA dietary supplementation during the first half of gestation may reduce the incidence of low birth weight
Feed intake in the multiparous lactating sow: Its relationship with reactivity during gestation and tryptophan status
High feed intake and low plasmatic Tryptophan levels during the lactation may be directly associated to sow reactivity
Dietary fiber for pregnant sows: Influence on sow physiology and performance during lactation
Higher feed intake during lactation let to improve sow and litter performance
The addition of ground wheat straw as fibre source in the gestation diet of sows and the effect on sow and litter performance
The dietary inclusion of wheat straw during the gestation phase improves sow and litter productivity.
Peripartal feeding strategy with different n-6:n-3 ratios in sow: effect on gene expression in backfat white adipose tissue postpartum
The expression of the responsible genes for trapping, release and storage of fatty acids and glucose may be modulated by altering n-6:n-3 ratio of the diet in pregnant sows
Effect of dietary supplementation of different oils during the first or second half of pregnancy on the glucose tolerance of the sow
Glucose curve characteristics and insulin sensivity may affect litter performance and sow productivity
Soluble and insoluble dietary fibre: effects on embryo survival and sow performance
The inclusion of high levels of dietary fibre during the gestation phase does not affect sow reproductive and productive performance
Impact of crude protein intake in last 14 days of pregnancy on puerperium, piglet loss prior to weaning and subsequent reproduction of sows
High levels of dietary crude protein before parturition may have a negative impact on productive and reproductive parameters
