Dietary crude protein increase in lactating diets
Increase crude protein level in lactating diet may enhance milk quality and improve sow and litter performance in high productive sows.
Dietary crude protein increase in lactating dietsEnergy 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.
Energy and lysine requirements of sows during transition and lactationImpact of maternally derived immunity on piglets’ immune response and protection against PCV2 after vaccination at different age
This study was aimed at evaluating the clinical protection, the level of Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) viremia and the immune response (antibodies and IFN-γ secreting cells (SC)) in piglets derived from PCV2 vaccinated sows and themselves vaccinated against PCV2 at different age, namely at 4, 6 and 8 weeks.

Sow and litter performance in primiparous sows is directly affected by energy intake during gestation.
Increasing energy intake during gestation, improvement for primiparousPerinatal dietary choline deficiency in sows
Dietary choline deficiency induces alterations in plasma choline metabolites which are evident at the end of lactation. Betaine and select FAs in milk are sensitive to maternal dietary choline deficiency and day of lactation. Alterations in concentrations of these nutrients may affect early-life neonatal development.

A better fit of nutrient requirements in early lactation improves sow milk yield.

It can be stated that the lactose content of sow colostrum in the first lactation could be indicative of a female's predisposition to produce colostrum and milk with similar lactose content over two consecutive lactations.
