Factors associated with suckling piglet average daily gain

Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2004
Low piglet weight at weaning implies a loss of income for the farmer and might influence the welfare of the affected animals negatively. The objective of our cohort study was to identify risk factors in the farrowing section associated with average daily weight gain (ADG) of piglets from birth to weaning. The study was done in 3 Danish farrow-to-finish

Prediction of average daily gain of swine based on machine learning

Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2018
Understanding factors affecting growth rates in swine is important in the productivity of pig farms. We herein propose machine learning-based schemes to predict the average daily gain (ADG) of pig weight using temperature, humidity, feed intake, and the current weight of the pig.

Studies on average daily gains of sirohi goats in the breeding tract

Indian Journal of Small Ruminants (The), 2018
Data on 6054 Sirohi kids of 112 sires born during 2004 to 2016 in farmers ’flocks under All India Coordinated Research Project on Goat Improvement, Vallabhnagar (Udaipur) were utilized to estimate the average daily gains (ADG) at different growth stages. The overall least-squares means of ADG for 0–3(ADG1), 3–6(ADG2), 6–9(ADG3) and 9–12(ADG4) months of

Effects of Mosquitoes on the Average Daily Gain of Feedlot Steers in Southern Louisiana

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1972
During a 2-year study (1969-70), Psorophora confinnis (Lynch-Arribalzaga), Anopheles quadrimaculatus Say, and A. crucians Wiedemann populations caused statistically significant and economically damaging reductions in the average daily gain of feedlot steers.

Genetic parameters of average daily gain and kleiber ratio in mecheri sheep

Indian Journal of Small Ruminants (The), 2022
The objective of study was to estimate the genetic parameters for average daily gain and feed efficiency in Mecheri sheep in an organized farm. Atotal of 2516 records collected over a period of 10 years (2010 to 2019) were utilised for the study. The least-squares means for average daily gain (ADG) at different periods viz., ADG1, ADG2 and ADG3 were 89.

Effects of Spaying on Average Daily Gain in Implanted Heifers on Pasture

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2011
Pasture grazing of beef feeder cattle destined for subsequent grain-fed feedlot production and slaughter can be a cost-effective production approach for regions with large areas of available pasture, as opposed to dry lot production programs. However, due to reproductive cycling, rates of gain (and presumably grass utilization) for heifers on pasture ...

A genomewide association study for average daily gain in Italian Large White pigs.

Journal of animal science, 2014
Average daily gain is an important target trait in pig breeding programs. In this study we performed a genomewide association study for ADG in Italian Large White pigs using a selective genotyping approach. Two extreme and divergent groups of Italian Large White pigs (number 190 + 190) were selected among a population of about 10,000 performance tested
