Effect of dietary CLA administration on fatty acid composition and lipogenic and lipolytic enzyme activities in suckling and weaned piglets

The concentration of fatty acids in subcutaneous fat and liver tissues of piglets 35 d after weaning is largely dependent on the CLA content of piglet diet rather than CLA enrichment of sow diet.

Abstract

Bacterial flora on the mammary gland skin of sows and in their colostrum

This is, to the authors’ knowledge, the first published study to determine the bacterial flora in skin and colostral milk samples of a limited number of sows with clinically healthy mammary glands.

Colibacilosis in lactating piglets

Escherichia coli is an enterobacteria that forms part of the normal intestinal microbiota of healthy animals. Usually, E. coli present in animals are communal antipathogenic strains and they even play a beneficial role, since they compete in several ways with the pathogenic strains in the ecological niche of the lumen.

Ketosis syndrome in sows

It’s true that we have rarely considered the sow as a dairy animal. A sow can produce up to 10 liters of milk at its production peak. If we consider that the effort the sow makes per hour in order to produce milk is almost equal to that of a cow, why do we continue to apply a collective treatment when it comes to feeding the sow?

Linseed oil in the maternal diet increases long chain-PUFA status of the foetus and the newborn during the suckling period in pigs

The PUFA status in newborn piglet is directly related with the use of PUFA enriched diets during gestation and lactation.

Abstract

Body reserve mobilization during lactation in first parity sows and its effect on second litter size

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of sow body reserves at weaning and body reserve losses during the first lactation on the second litter size (SLS). A number of 1222 females which reached the second parity without failures such as return to estrus after insemination, abortion or failure to farrow, were analyzed. Measurements of body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BT) and body condition score (BCS) were taken within 24 h after farrowing and on the weaning day.

Impact of an extended photoperiod in farrowing houses on the performance and behaviour of sows and their litters

The effects of an extended photoperiod around parturition and throughout lactation on performances of primiparous sows and their piglets were studied.

Newborn Piglets & Bottle Fed Baby Piggy

Piglets are born. One gets accidently stepped on by Mama. She was stitched up and although Mama wanted to take her back in, the piglet was scared to death of her. She ended up being a bottle fed pig much to the delight of the children.

The evaluation of feeding lactating sows on grams of lysine compared to percent of lysine in the diet

Formulating a sow diet based on percent lysine is only effective when total feed intake is known.

Abstract

Playing and fighting by piglets around weaning on farms, employing individual or group housing of lactating sows

We assessed how piglets play, fighting and biting behaviour before and after weaning were affected by the housing system and weaning age as well as how the three behaviours are related to each other and piglet post-weaning weight gain.

Hormone management (II)

When the sow is pregnant, the corpus luteum remains and continues to produce progesterone. While the levels of progesterone are high the sow does not become in heat and maintains gestation.

Piglet colostrum intake

Colostrum offers 3 essential properties to the piglet: very useful energy source (vital for generating movement and avoiding temperature loss), immune supply (protects against germs that the piglet begins to come into contact with) and natural growth factors (complete the maturity of the piglet).
