Management of Replacement Gilts
Introduction Management of replacement gilts may be the area of pork production with the widest gap between what we know how to do and what we actually do. That suggests that with application of existing knowledge we can make great strides in efficiently developing females to enter the herd, breed quickly, raise large litters of marketable pigs, breed back quickly, and remain in the herd. This ...
متن کاملBreeding replacement gilts for organic pig herds.
In this study, breeding structures and commercial sow lines were evaluated by economic and genetic simulation studies for their suitability to provide the Dutch organic pig sector with replacement gilts. Sow and litter performance from over 2000 crossbred sows from 2006 to 2007 were collected on 11 to 14 Dutch organic pig herds, respectively, and compared with conventional herds. Results showed...
متن کاملControl of Vertebrate Skeletal Mineralization by Polyphosphates
BACKGROUND Skeletons are formed in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and compositions of organic and mineral components. Many invertebrate skeletons are constructed from carbonate or silicate minerals, whereas vertebrate skeletons are instead composed of a calcium phosphate mineral known as apatite. No one yet knows why the dynamic vertebrate skeleton, which is continually rebuilt, repaired, and...
متن کاملFunctional involvement of PHOSPHO1 in matrix vesicle-mediated skeletal mineralization.
UNLABELLED PHOSPHO1 is a phosphatase highly expressed in bone. We studied its functional involvement in mineralization through the use of novel small molecule inhibitors. PHOSPHO1 expression was present within matrix vesicles, and inhibition of enzyme action caused a decrease in the ability of matrix vesicles to calcify. INTRODUCTION The novel phosphatase, PHOSPHO1, belongs to the haloacid de...
متن کاملGH and IGF-I binding sites in adipose tissue, liver, skeletal muscle and ovaries of feed-restricted gilts.
The influence of feed restriction on GH and IGF-I binding was examined in the cyclic gilt. IGF-1, IGFBPs, insulin and leptin levels in plasma were also measured. Twenty-four gilts whose oestrous cycle was synchronised were used. From day 3 to day 12, (with day 0 being the first day of oestrus) feed allowance was 240% and 80% of the energy requirements for maintenance for well-fed (H) and restri...
