Effect of different dietary fat sources at the end of gestation on the performance of sows and their offspring
The results show the importance of the FA composition in colostrum on the growth of piglets.
Supplementing sows with a zootechnical feed additive decreases fecal shedding of bacteria and improves calostral immunoglobulin concentrations and litter performance
The use of a zootechnical feed additive during gestation may reduce microbial pathogens in feces and improve IGA concentration in calostrum.
Influence of feeding Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii on immunoglobulins of sow’s colostrum and milk
Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii significantly increased the IgG and IgA concentration of colostrum.
Plasma protein profiles of neonatal pigs before and after suckling
The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in plasma protein profiles of neonatal piglets before and after suckling, in order to characterize the gastrointestinal absorption of colostral proteins into the neonatal bloodstream.
Use of betaine in gilts and sows during lactation: effects on milk quality, reproductive parameters, and piglet performance
Treatment with betaine improve reproductive performance of gilts and sows, and increase body weight gain of the piglets.
Effect of cross-fostering on transfer of maternal immunity to Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae to piglets
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of cross-fostering on transfer of maternal Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae-specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity (CMI) from gilts to piglets.
Effect of dietary supplementation of oregano essential oils to sows on colostrums and milk composition, growth pattern and immune status of suckling pigs
Supplementing sow diets with 250 mg/kg of oregano essential oils during gestation and lactation did not affect the growth potential of and immune responses in suckling piglets.
Relationships between colostrum production by primiparous sows and sow physiology around parturitio
Relationships between hormonal and metabolic changes around parturition and colostrum yield and composition were investigated in 16 Landrace x Large White primiparous sows.
Effect of bovine colostrums of 1st, 2nd and 3rd milking on growth performance and the immune system of newly-weaned piglets after an E.coli LPS challenge
The use of freeze dried colostrum in weanling diets may help to reduce inflamatory process improving piglet performance
