Effects of maternal factors and environment on early colonization of intestinal microbiota in piglets

These results indicate that microbiota in feces, colostrum, and vaginal secretions of sows more easily colonized piglet intestines through a symbiotic effect.

Abstract

Effect of sow body weight at first service on body status and performance

Achieving optimal body weight at first service is essential for maximizing the sow’s lifetime performance.

Abstract

Short-term fixation of sows in farrowing pens using different opening procedures

For short-term fixation of five days around farrowing on commercial farms, the farrowing crate should be opened in the evening.

Abstract

Physiology and nutrition of late gestating and transition sows

The physiological processes and how they change dynamically as the sow approaches farrowing greatly affect sow productivity.

Abstract

Characteristics of thermal images of the mammary gland and of performance in sows differing in health status and parity

Thermography coupled with Artificial Intelligence systems can help identify and orient the diagnosis of symptomatic animals to prompt adequate reaction at the earliest time.

Abstract

New vaginal drug delivery system to control time of farrowing and allow supervision of piglet delivery

Findings confirm the efficacy of the novel vaginal drug delivery system for induction of farrowing in sows.

Abstract

Does nursing behaviour of sows in loose-housing differ from that of sows in farrowing crates?

Shorter nursing duration and more nursing terminations by the sow were observed in loose housing than in farrowing crates.

Abstract

Comparing gut microbiota and metabolic status of sows with different litter sizes during gestation

Microbial abundances and community structures differed significantly between sows with different litter sizes and gestation stages.

Abstract

Polyamines protect boar sperm from oxidative stress in vitro

Spermine and spermidine alleviate oxidative stress via the antioxidant capacity, thereby improving the efficacy of boar semen preservation.

Abstract

Intrauterine immunizations trigger antigen-specific mucosal and systemic immunity in pigs and passive protection in suckling piglets

The study assessed whether vaccines administered to the uterus at breeding can lead to sufficient colostral antibodies to protect suckling piglets against PEDV.

Abstract

Impact of birth weight and daily weight gain during suckling on the weight gain of weaning piglets

Piglets with 1.25 to 2.30kg BW and low weight gain during suckling presented a partial compensatory growth during the nursery phase.

Abstract

Effect of the boar on swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome in offspring

The effects of different boars from the Duroc and Pietrain breeds on the prevalence of swine inflammation and necrosis syndrome in their offspring.

Abstract

Suitability of semen stress tests for predicting fertilizing capacity of boar ejaculates

Cold- and heat-resistance were dependent factors and sperm motility but neither semen stress test can be used as a sole test for predicting the fertilizing capacity of boar ejaculates.

Abstract

Administration of cloprostenol to sows improves WSI and farrowing rate

The application of cloprostenol after farrowing improved fertility rates and reduced non-productive days.

Home

Abstract

Vaginal microbiota differences associated with pelvic organ prolapse risk during late gestation in commercial sows

Sows with greater pelvic organ prolapse risk have unique vaginal microflora.

Home

Abstract

Investigating pig survival in different production phases using genomic models

Survival is a complex trait with low heritability; however, important genetic gains can still be obtained, especially under a genomic prediction framework.

Home

Abstract

Evaluation of sow thermal preference across three stages of reproduction

The thermal comfort zone of sows may be narrower than current recommendations indicate.

Abstract

Genomics of response to PRRSV: antibody response and performance following natural infection vs. vaccination

Selection for antibody response to PRRSV can increase litter size in purebred and commercial sows.

Abstract

Vaginal microbiome and serum metabolite differences in late gestation sows at risk for pelvic organ prolapse

Sows with greater pelvic organ prolapse risk have differential serum metabolites and vaginal microflora.

Abstract

Genetic parameters and associated genomic regions for global immunocompetence in pigs

Study results support the possibility of applying effective selection programs to improve immunocompetence in pigs.

Abstract

How does inducing farrowing affect immunological parameters in colostrum?

When labour induction is applied, the questions arise about possible effects on labour and lactation, including colostral immunity.

Abstract

Genomic analysis of IgG antibody response to pathogens in commercial sows

Results suggest that genetic selection of antibody response in commercial sows is possible, but with variable success.

Abstract

Discovery of sex-determining region on pig Y chromosome may have applications in preventing boar taint

This discovery of SRY as the main switch for sex determination in pigs may provide an alternative for surgical castration in pig production, preventing boar taint.
