In search of the ideal batch (2/2)

As we discovered in the last chapter, there are no “traditional” BM systems lasting over one week that allow for weaning at 28 days with a 5-week rotation time. However, breaking with the theoretical norms, we can wean at 28 days when working with batches every 5 weeks.

Planning weaning (II): How many sows should I wean?

As mentioned in the first chapter of planning weaning, after deciding which sows are going to be weaned, on weaning day we must take into account several factors...

Weaning in a shed

The current test is about weaning in sheds, with curtain separators in the nest.

Effects of extra feeding in mid-pregnancy for three successive parities on lean sows’ productive performance and longevity

The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of increasing feeding allowance during mid-pregnancy in sows.

Body reserve mobilization during lactation in first parity sows and its effect on second litter size

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of sow body reserves at weaning and body reserve losses during the first lactation on the second litter size (SLS). A number of 1222 females which reached the second parity without failures such as return to estrus after insemination, abortion or failure to farrow, were analyzed. Measurements of body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BT) and body condition score (BCS) were taken within 24 h after farrowing and on the weaning day.

Planning weaning (I): How many sows should I wean?

Deciding which sows are going to be weaned on weaning day is an important task that should be examined well.

Increasing weaning age of piglets from 4 to 7 weeks reduces stress, increases post-weaning feed intake but does not improve intestinal functionality

This study tested the hypothesis that late weaning and the availability of creep feed during the suckling period compared with early weaning, improves feed intake, decreases stress and improves the integrity of the intestinal tract.

Effects of dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on the performance of weaning pigs

Lactose content in piglet diets may be a key factor for a successful weaning performance.

NutritionAbstract

Effects of tannic acid supplementation on growth performance, blood hematology, iron status and faecal microflora in weanling pigs

Tannic acid in weanling diets may have a negative impact on piglet performance.

NutritionAbstract

Supplemental zinc reduced intestinal permeability by enhancing occluding and zonula occludens protein-1 (ZO-1) expression in weaning piglets

The use of pharmacological Zn doses in weanling diets for piglets may reduce intestinal permeability against potential pathogens.

NutritionAbstract

Evaluation of the effect of increasing dietary vitamin E in combination with different fat sources on performance, humoral immune responses and antioxidant status of weaned pigs

Immune response or triglyceride and cholesterol levels in plasma are influenced by the fat source fed rather than the level of vitamin E in weanling pig.

Effects of dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on the performance of weaning pigs

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate dietary lactose levels during different starter phases on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and fecal microbial populations.

NutritionAbstract

Effects of dietary glycyl-glutamine on growth performance, small intestinal integrity, and immune responses of weaning piglets challenged with lipopolysaccharide

Dietary glycyl-glutamine supplementation may alleviate the negative effects on growth and on the inmune system of a challege in early weaned piglets.

NutritionAbstract

Comparison between computerised liquid feeding and ad libitum dry feeding for sows during lactation

Liquid feeding during lactation may increase feed intake without affecting piglet performance

NutritionAbstract

Body weight gain and nutrient utilization in starter pigs that are liquid-fed high-moisture corn-based diets supplemented with phytase

Dietary phytase addition to liquid feeding weanling piglets may improve nutrient digestibility, bone strength and mineralization

Organization of the replacements IV

Another convenient option for controlling the replacement entry is to incorporate the information on the breeding chart.
