Crumbled or mashed feed had no significant effect on the performance of lactating sows or their offspring

BACKGROUND Physical and chemical properties of feedstuffs can be changed by feed processing. Moreover, through various mechanisms, feed processing can affect growth performance and feed efficiency of swine, nutrition value of the feed. Weaning-to service-intervals (WSI), subsequent farrowing rates, and total-born litter sizes were determined by feed intake and metabolic state during lactation. ...

Associations between Feed Intake of Growing Gilts, Lactating Sows and Other Reproductive or Performance Traits

The genetic and phenotypic associations between performance and feed intake traits of finished gilts (GFI), along with their subsequent reproductive performance and feed intake during lactation (LFI), were estimated using data collected from two maternal lines recorded under the same management system. Ad-libitum feed intake was heritable (h: 0.33±0.08) when recorded in post-finisher gilts or d...

Analysis of water, feed intake and performance of lactating sows

Article history: Received 15 December 2009 Received in revised form 4 July 2010 Accepted 7 July 2010 The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between water, feed intake, relative body weight loss, and the weaning weight of piglets of lactating sows and to analyse the curves of water and feed intake. Data recording was performed on the Hohenschulen research farm of the In...
