Milk supplement composition and availability can reduce piglet mortality during suckling and promote SCFA-producing bacteria in the gut.

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

Sow omega-3 supplementation may affect microbial populations in the dam and their offspring.

Increasing feed intake during late gestation may improve sow and litter performance.

Results suggest increasing functional teat number would enhance both piglet survival and reproductive throughput.

Exceeding nutritional requirements of branched-chain amino acids and arginine may improve sow and piglet performance as well as immune status by changes in colostrum and milk.

The n-3 fatty acids supplementation in gestation and lactation diets may affect colostrum and milk composition and the immune response.

When labour induction is applied, the questions arise about possible effects on labour and lactation, including colostral immunity.

Increased suckling intensity increased litter weight gain but reduced piglet ADG. Following lactations were not negatively affected by increased suckling intensity of the first lactation. Loss of sow body reserves was reduced for the second lactation.

Feeding CLA to sows may improve the survival of their born-alive piglets.

Sow dietary CLA supplementation may be transferred in colostrum enhancing piglets’ immunity leading to lower mortality rates.

Dietary spray-dried porcine plasma supplementation during lactation may improve litter performance in multiparous sows.

Increase crude protein level in lactating diet may enhance milk quality and improve sow and litter performance in high productive sows.

The SID Lys:ME ratio during lactation depends on a milk yield and the body weight of the sow.

This study was aimed at evaluating the clinical protection, the level of Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) viremia and the immune response (antibodies and IFN-γ secreting cells (SC)) in piglets derived from PCV2 vaccinated sows and themselves vaccinated against PCV2 at different age, namely at 4, 6 and 8 weeks.

Sow and litter performance in primiparous sows is directly affected by energy intake during gestation.
