Feeding sows during labor: practical advice

It isn’t easy to compile a bibliography referring to this subject matter in specific cases; one has to search for it among the footnotes of other, more general works. The aim of this article is to sum up aspects of feeding that can be important at the time of farrowing.

Denmark - Increase in pig mortality

Piglet mortality in Denmark has been increasing in line with increasing litter size. Scientists from the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences have reviewed existing knowledge about the problem and suggest methods to reducing it.

Functional characterisation of a recombinant xylanase from Pichia pastoris and effect of the enzyme on nutrient digestibility in weaned pigs

The potential benefits of Xyn2 in the nutrition of weaned pigs should make it an alternative for industrial xylanase production.

Antimicrobial resistance, virulence-associated genes, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium isolated from piglets with diarrhea in Korea.

Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Typhimurium was isolated from diarrheic piglets in 2 periods, 2000–2001 (n = 25) and 2005–2006 (n = 17). To compare the characteristics of the isolates collected during the 2 periods, all isolates were tested for antimicrobial resistance, the presence of virulence genes, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) patterns.

Predicting in vivo starch digestibility coefficients in newly weaned piglets from in vitro assessment of diets using multivariate analysis

Multivariate modelling could be a successful tool to predict starch digestibility in young pigs.

USA - CVM working to address shortage of injectable iron dextran

The Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) is aware that there is a likelihood of a shortage of the injectable drug, iron dextran, for the prevention and treatment of iron deficiency in baby pigs.

Linseed meal during early pregnancy increases litter size in pigs

To determine how feeding linseed meal (LSM) during gestation influences litter size, placental weight, and piglet growth, sows (n = 30) received a phytoestrogen-free Control diet throughout gestation; 12.5% LSM diet throughout gestation (LSM114); or 12.5% LSM diet from day 1 to day 15 of gestation and control diet until parturition (LSM15).

Effects of extra feeding in mid-pregnancy for three successive parities on lean sows’ productive performance and longevity

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of increasing feeding allowance during mid-pregnancy in sows.

Farrowing assistance (II): Dystocia

In swine, dystocia is usually caused by oversized piglets (or by a narrow birth canal) instead of foetal positioning problems.

NutritionAbstract

The influence of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the feed of the sow on parturition characteristics and piglet viability

Dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may affect parturition traits in sows.

NutritionAbstract

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.

Optimal dietary true ileal digestible threonine for supporting the mucosal barrier in small intestine of weanling pigs

An appropriate dietary threonine level is required to maintain mucosal barrier in weanling piglets.

Farrowing assistance (I): Piglet extraction

A correct supervision is one of the key points of a farrowing.

Histomorphology and small intestinal sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 gene expression in piglets fed phytic acid and phytase-supplemented diets

Phytase supplementation may reduce the negative impact of phytic acid on the sodium-dependent glucose transporter 1 gene expression in piglets .

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.

The effect of feeding increased levels of amino acids in heavy and medium weight nursery pigs on pig performance

A good balance between the four limiting AA and the crude protein content is required for a successful pig growth.
