Abstract
Metabolic Challenges in Late Pregnancy in Multiparous Ewes Fed Silage or Hay
Highlights
Average daily weight gain (ADG) for the individual pig was used as response in a linear mixed model, where sow, pen and farrowing date were included as random effects
Weak pasterns Birth weight, per 100 gram Female compared to male Sow feed intake at weaning b Forelimb skin abrasion in piglets Sagging udder 3 weeks pp Unthrifty piglets Arthritis in piglet Diarrhoea in piglet
The results show that constitution and feed consumption of sows, birth weight; sex, and health of piglets as well as the random effect terms were significantly associated with the ADG during the nursing period (Table 1)
Summary
Weak pasterns Birth weight, per 100 gram Female compared to male Sow feed intake at weaning b Forelimb skin abrasion in piglets Sagging udder 3 weeks pp Unthrifty piglets Arthritis in piglet Diarrhoea in piglet. The objective of this study is to estimate the relative impact of genetics, feeding, housing, and health factors on the weight gain during the nursing period. Average daily weight gain (ADG) for the individual pig was used as response in a linear mixed model, where sow, pen and farrowing date were included as random effects.
