The effect of three different feeding time’s strategy during sows’ gestation
Feeding management related to time of feeding in restricted gestating sows may enhance sow performance.
Farrowing rate isn't everything in gestation performance
Which indicator best reflects performance - farrowing rate or non-productive days?
Altrenogest supplementation during early pregnancy improves swine embryonic development
There is a lack of information about progesterone supplementation during early pregnancy regarding swine embryonic development. The objective was to evaluate the effects of progesterone/progestin supplementation from Day 6 of pregnancy on swine reproductive parameters.
Whole yeast product supplementation through gestation and lactation on sow and litter performance
Dietary inclusion of Pichia guilliermondii during gestation may improve prolificity while reducing low body weigh category piglets at birth.
Supplementing with life yeast both sow and piglet diets
Life yeast supplementation during gestation, lactation and nursery periods may lead to a greater piglet growth performance.
Feeding CLA and MCFA in late gestation and lactation to sows on the growth and survival of their offspring
Feeding CLA to sows may improve the survival of their born-alive piglets.
A comparison between nulliparous and multiparous sows cervix with regard to post-cervical AI
The future design of AI strategies and catheters should take into consideration the morphological variations of the cervix lumen, which will depend on age and parity of the females.
Dietary CLA during late gestation on composition of primiparous sows’ colostrum
Sow dietary CLA supplementation may be transferred in colostrum enhancing piglets’ immunity leading to lower mortality rates.
Feeding two different levels in sows during late gestation: effects on reproductive performance and piglet birth weight
Dietary levels of 1.8 and 2.2 kg/d in late gestation do not differ on reproductive and piglet performance.
An update on sow amino acid research
Sow nutrition research has historically been only about 2% of the swine scientific literature, but new commercial facilities are changing this.
Factors of importance when selecting sows as embryo donors
The improvement in porcine embryo preservation and non-surgical embryo transfer (ET) procedures achieved in recent years represents essential progress for the practical use of ET in the pig industry.
The behaviour and welfare of sows and piglets in farrowing crates or lactation pens
Three experiments were conducted to investigate the implications of replacing farrowing crates with an alternative housing system from 3 days postpartum until weaning.
Reproductive performance following non-surgical deep uterine porcine embryo transfer
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the weaned recipients' parity on fertility and prolificacy following NsDU-ET.
Energy and lysine requirements of sows during transition and lactation
The SID Lys:ME ratio during lactation depends on a milk yield and the body weight of the sow.
Frequency and time of gestation feeding and their subsequent effects on farrowing performance
Effect of feeding time and frequency during gestation does not affect farrowing performance.
