The increase in dieterary fiber it is not enough to reduce stereotypic behaviour in static group housed sows.

On average, milk production reached 10.7 kg/day.

Folic acid supplementation during gestation may improve milk production, milk quality and piglet performance.

Replacing starch by dietary fibre changes plasma metabolites profile in gestating sows.

Piglet survival and piglet body weight gain may be improved by altering the sow’s nutrient supply during the period from late gestation to lactation.

Wheat bran increases the capacity of the intestine for oxidative metabolism and sugar beet pulp induces a repartitioning of body lipid stores.

The high esterification capacity for oleate in the newborn pig intestine preserves the major colostrum fatty acid for delivery to other tissues.

Incorporation of extruded linseed in the sow diet during gestation and lactation modified the intestinal barrier function of piglet at weaning

The results of this study indicate a possible association between the imprinted gene DIO3 and female fertility traits in pigs.

Maternal low protein diet impairs prenatal myofiber formation, reducing the potential of postnatal lean growth.

Creep feed initiated from day 5 and 10 reduce diarrhea scores in piglets and the estrus interval in sows.

These results suggest that mixing sows in the 1st or 2nd week of gestation can result in reduced conception and farrowing rates when compared to housing sows in stalls.

CLA administration to sows reduces backfat thickness loss during the lactation period and lets to higher piglet weight at weaning.

In the present study, intrauterine deposition of sperm did allow maintenance of farrowing rate, but did not ameliorate the adverse effect of inseminating aged sperm on litter size.

Supplementation with folic acid in the diets of lactating sows increases milk production, improves milk quality and the performance of piglets.

To evaluate the benefits of induced farrowing with supervision on rates of stillbirths and preweaning mortality,a total of 159 multiparous sows were assigned in approximately equal numbers to two groups.
