Sow and piglet traits associated with piglet survival at birth and to weaning

Journal of Animal Science, 2020
AbstractAbstractUnderstanding the relationship between sow and piglet characteristics that are associated with stillborn rate and preweaning mortality is beneficial as litter size continues to increase. Two experiments were previously conducted to evaluate prefarrowing nutrition regimens on sow and litter characteristics.

Risks associated with preweaning mortality on 39 commercial outdoor pig farms in England [PDF]

, 2014
A prospective longitudinal study was carried out on 39 outdoor breeding pig farms in England in 2003 and 2004 to investigate the risks associated with mortality in liveborn preweaning piglets.

Biological aspects of genetic differences in piglet survival [PDF]

, 2001
The objective of this thesis was to gain insight in the biological background of differences in the direct genetic (piglet) component of piglet survival.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Modeling and Assessing Heat Transfer of Piglet Microclimates

AgriEngineering, 2021
High piglet pre-weaning mortality rates can be attributed to poor creep area microclimate resulting in negative productivity, welfare, and economic consequences.

Alloxan Diabetes in the Piglet [PDF]

Nature, 1957
LUKENS1 depancreatized young pigs, and found that the diabetic state which followed was characterized by a slight or absent fasting glucose-excretion, and a low fasting nitrogen-excretion. Ketonuria was marked, but was not accompanied by severe acidosis.

Translophagy—A potential link between autophagy impairment and translational errors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by the accumulation of abnormal proteins and protein aggregates, but their origin often remains unknown. We propose that selective autophagy removes damaged protein‐making machinery, preventing errors during protein synthesis.

Heritability of shoulder ulcers and genetic correlations with mean piglet weight and sow body condition

Animal, 2012
The objective of this paper was to estimate the heritability for shoulder ulcers and the genetic correlations between shoulder ulcers, mean piglet weight and sow body condition.

Characteristics of Piglets Born by Two Highly Prolific Sow Hybrids

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
High piglet mortality constitutes a welfare challenge in Danish organic pig production with almost one in three piglets dying before weaning. Piglet characteristics such as birth weight, rectal temperature and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR ...
