Associations between osteochondrosis and conformation and locomotive characteristics in pigs.
Conformation and locomotive characteristics (CLC; i.e., leg conformation and gait movement patterns) may be associated with osteochondrosis (OC) in pigs. Osteochondrosis and CLC increase the risk of premature culling. This study investigated whether CLC have an explanatory value, over the previously modeled effects of sex, feeding, and housing conditions, on the occurrence and severity of OC in...
متن کاملEffect of dietary nutrients on osteochondrosis lesions and cartilage properties in pigs.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate dietary ingredients involved in cartilage and bone metabolism and their influence on osteochondrosis lesions in swine. ANIMALS 80 crossbred gilts (mean initial weight, 39 kg). PROCEDURES Pigs (10 pigs/treatment) were fed a corn-soybean meal basal (control) diet or the basal diet supplemented with additional minerals (copper and manganese or silicon), amino acids (proli...
متن کاملObesity and Arthrosis
Overweight leads to arthrosis through various factors: -1) the level, frequency, and type of constraints induced by overweight have a direct mechanical effect on the cartilage, meniscus, and ligaments -2) mechanical receptors of the cellular membrane of chondrocytes allow the chondrocyte to evaluate the articular pressure. This mechanical signal induces chemical liberation of mediators and enzy...
متن کاملOsteochondrosis in pigs diagnosed with computed tomography: heritabilities and genetic correlations to weight gain in specific age intervals.
The aim of this study was to develop a method for scoring osteochondrosis (OC) by using information from computed tomography (CT), as well as to estimate the heritability for OC scored by means of CT (OCwCT) of the medial and lateral condyles at the distal end of the humerus or the femur of the right and left leg and the sum of these scores (OCT). In addition, we were aiming at revealing the ge...
متن کاملDifferences in metabolic parameters and gene expression related to osteochondrosis/osteoarthrosis in pigs fed 25-hydroxyvitamin D3.
Osteochondrosis/osteoarthrosis (OC/OA) are common terms for various joint pathologies that occur in pigs. Pathologies that may contribute to these disorders have been described, but the primary cause(s) remain unknown. We hypothesised that as OC has some similarities to dyschondroplasia, which involves a failure of growth plate chondrocytes to fully differentiate and hypertrophy, treatment with...
