Colostrum intake is a key factor for survival and successful growth
Piglets׳ colostrum intake associates with daily weight gain and survival until weaning.
Effect of cross-fostering and oral supplementation with colostrums on performance of newborn piglets
The aim of the experiment was to study the effect on litter performance of two oral supplementation strategies on piglets born weighing 1.35 kg or less.
Maternal body composition and feed allowance during pregnancy on growth of the offspring
Maternal backfat depth in gestating sows influences on offspring growth and carcass lean yield.
A cohort study on Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae colonisation in suckling piglets
No dam related risk factor for colonisation status of litter or piglets within litters could be identified.
Humoral response and colostral antibody transfer following 'one-dose' pre-mating vaccination of sows against porcine circovirus type-2
One-dose vaccination of sows against PCV2 induces colostral antibody transfer.
Sows supplemented with probiotics and their effects on their offspring
Modifications in faecal microbiota of sows by E. faecium are carried over to their offspring.
Effects of within-litter birth weight variation of piglets on performance in a Large White×Landrace sow herd
It can be concluded that litter performance at weaning is related to birth weight coefficient of variation.
Effects on performance and intestinal morphology of artificial rearing of piglets
Artificial rearing is a good alternative to raise supernumerary piglets.
Placental transmission of porcine circovirus type 2
In conclusion, placental transmission of PCV-2 from a non-immune sow to fetuses is possible when the infection of the dam occurs before gestation or after 62 days of gestation.
Maternal dietary fat affects further fatty acid composition of the progeny
The progeny of sows fed a high-fat diet have a higher total PUFA and n−6 fatty acid contents in the longissimus thoracis muscle.
Establishment of the 2012 vitamin D requirements in swine
Dietary treatments of ≥800 IU/kg feed showed beneficial effects for breeding swine in terms of bone mineral content and ultimate strength, decreased number of still born piglets, and greater vitamin D status in comparison with dietary treatments of 200 IU/kg of feed.
Individual risk factors for M. hyo infections in suckling pigs at the age of weaning
Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the frequency of M. hyopneumoniae infections in suckling pigs of endemically infected herds.

New neonatal strategies of micronutrient supplementation to piglets may be required nowadays.

The addition of different sources of Se did not affect the immunoglobulin concentrations in the gilt or piglet.
Impact of PRRS vaccination timing in pigs with different maternal immunity levels
The main objective of this study was to further investigate this issue and determine if vaccination of older pigs would induce an earlier viremia and seroconversion.
