Intrauterine growth-restricted piglets can catch up on growth with pGLP-2 microspheres

Injection of pGLP-2 microspheres can be a therapeutic strategy for compensatory growth in intrauterine growth restricted piglets with low birthweights.

Abstract

Swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome in different production stages

Swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome is influenced by husbandry and quality of sow in suckling piglets, weaners, and fattening pigs.

Abstract

Impact of increasing weaning age on pig performance and belly nosing prevalence

Increasing the weaning age can be an effective strategy to improve the overall performance in a commercial system. Results of this study imply that 25 d is the optimal weaning age.

Abstract

How split-suckling 0, 1, or 3 days affects piglet performance and colostrum intake

Piglet performances were not improved nor impaired when split-suckling was applied during the first day of life. However growth was impaired when litters were intensively split-suckled during first three days of life.

Alternative measures to reduce antimicrobial usage in European pig production

Following tailor-made implementation of alternative measures, a substantial reduction of antimicrobial use in pig production was achievable without jeopardizing animal health.

Abstract

Comparison of four local anesthetics used during piglet castration

Procaine, lidocaine, bupivacaine, and mepivacaine are highly effective at reducing signs of nociception during castration under light isoflurane anesthesia.

Abstract

Fattening pigs' preference for different plant-based enrichment materials

Structure, size and flavour should be considered when choosing enrichment material. Out of the materials tested, maize kernels in straw were the most attractive for pigs.

Abstract

Sow responsiveness to humans reveals info on performance and living conditions

Sows that had a good relationships with their handler tended to have more total and weaned pigs. Weaning performance was better for farmers who valued good animal-human relationships.

Abstract

Effects of split suckling piglets based on birth weight or birth order

Sorting piglets by birth weight can affect colostrum intake and sorting by birth order affects immunocrit levels. Both birth weight and birth order have effects on traits that are important for prenatal growth and survival.

Abstract

Comparison of anatomical and gastrointestinal functional development between gilt and sow progeny at birth and weaning

Early development of gilt progeny may be delayed compared with sow progeny and a number of anatomical differences present at birth are also present at weaning.

Abstract

Effects of long-term gentle handling on behavior, production, and meat quality

Gentle handling of growing pigs could reduce their anxiety and increase intimacy between the pigs and handlers. However, it had little effect on pig performance, carcass quality, and meat quality.

Evaluation of pain and stress in three-week old piglets in relation to route of vaccine administration

A lower frequency of behavioral aversive responses was observed in the intradermal route of vaccine administration group than in the intramuscular group.

Abstract

Group housing of suckling piglets on post-weaning performance and aggressive behaviour

Weaning is a critical phase in a pig’s life. Group housing of non-littermates before weaning may favour socialisation and hence reduce weaning stress.

Breed-to-wean farm factors associated with influenza A virus infection in piglets at weanin

Sow vaccination decreased influenza infections in piglets at weaning. Influenza positive gilts at entry were associated with positive piglets at weaning.

Abstract

Effect of straw amount on feed intake and weight gain in growing pigs housed in pens with partly slatted floor

The more straw provided (between 10 and 500 g) the higher the daily weight gain. The feed conversion ratio was not affected by the amount of straw provided.
