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.

PRRSV-Vaccinated, Seronegative Sows and Maternally Derived Antibodies (II): Impact on PRRSV-1 Vaccine Effectiveness and Challenge Outcomes in Piglets

Vaccines
Vaccination against the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSV) is widely practiced in both sows and piglets. However, it has been shown that multivaccinated sows sometimes lack a detectable antibody response, testing seronegative in ...

Landscapes of Enteric Virome Signatures in Early-Weaned Piglets

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Diarrhea caused by early-weaning-induced stress can increase mortality rates and reduce growth performance of piglets, seriously harming the livestock industry.

The Influence of Dietary Gallic Acid on Growth Performance and Plasma Antioxidant Status of High and Low Weaning Weight Piglets

Animals, 2021
This study evaluated the effects of dietary gallic acid (GA) on growth performance, diarrhea incidence and plasma antioxidant status of weaned piglets regardless of whether weaning weight was high or low.

Estimation of Breed Effects on Litter Traits at Birth in Yorkshire and Landrace Pigs

Walailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2011
The purpose of this study was to estimate breed effects on litter traits at birth in the Yorkshire and Landrace breeds at a commercial swine farm in central Thailand. A total of 14,097 litters from 2002 to 2006 were analyzed using a GLM procedure.

Effect of Lactation Environment on Behaviour of Suckling Piglets

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2015
To investigate the effect of the pen on the welfare of suckling piglets by comparing the behaviours of piglets in either crates or straw enriched pens, sixteen litter piglets in crates or straw enriched pens were used in the present experiment.

Medullary Bone of Piglets.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1991
The bone marrow is commonly present in the medullary cavity of long bones in most mammals at birth. In the present study, the persistence of the osseous tissue was examined in the medullary cavities of piglet bones at and after birth. Immediately after birth, medullary cavities of long bones were almost completely filled with the spongy bone.

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+.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Administration of All-Trans Retinoic Acid to Pregnant Sows Alters Gut Bacterial Community of Neonatal Piglets With Different Hoxa1 Genotypes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Administration of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to pregnant sows improves developmental defects of Hoxa1–/– fetal pigs, and this study aimed to explore the influence of maternal ATRA administration during pregnancy on gut microbiota of neonatal piglets.
