Post-insemination level of feeding does not influence embryonic survival and growth in highly prolific gilts[swine abstracts]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. |
Organization of replacement III[Management]Carles Casanovas![]() In the previous chapter we began to look at various systems for registering clearly and quickly the day of coming into estrus and the predicted date of mating of the nulliparous sows. |
Gestating sows in group[pig welfare]Paolo Candotti![]() The new test in the welfare section is dedicated to the conditions during weaning. |
Benefits of synchronizing ovulation with porcine luteinizing hormone in a fixed-time insemination protocol in weaned multiparous sows[swine abstracts]Double insemination of multiparous sows, timed to coincide with optimal sow fertility, may improve litter size. |
Organization of replacement II[Management]Carles Casanovas![]() In previous chapters we have looked at the importance of maintaining a distribution of the structure of the ideal census within each of the productive batches of sows. |
Organization of productive batches[Management]Carles Casanovas![]() In the last chapter we looked at the importance of achieving homogenous productive batches (age distribution + nº sows). In this chapter we will begin to see how to achieve this. |
Effects of space allowance and floor type on gaseous emissions from gestating sows[swine abstracts]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. |
