Scientific Reports, 2021 Early-life gut microbial colonisation is known to influence host physiology and development, shaping its phenotype. The developing gastro-intestinal tract of neonatal piglets provides a “window of opportunity” for programming their intestinal microbiota ...

Does intrauterine crowding affect the force generating capacity and muscle composition of the piglet front limb? [PDF]
, 2019 In the pig, intrauterine competition (IUC) greatly affects postnatal traits, such as birth weight, but also locomotor capacities. In a previous study, our group discovered a lower motor performance in piglets with a low birth weight and low vitality (L ...

Artificial rearing influences the morphology, permeability and redox state of the gastrointestinal tract of low and normal birth weight piglets [PDF]
, 2017 Background: In this study the physiological implications of artificial rearing were investigated. Low (LBW) and normal birth weight (NBW) piglets were compared as they might react differently to stressors caused by artificial rearing.

Fat deposition deficiency is critical for the high mortality of pre-weanling newborn piglets
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2018 Background The high mortality of pre-weanling piglets is a dominant challenge which severely restricts the development of pig industry. A number of factors including nutrients imbalance and temperature variation during postnatal period of piglets have ...

Congenital Fibropapillomatosis in a Piglet [PDF]
Veterinary Pathology, 1999 We report a case of congenital fibropapillomatosis in the head and neck of a piglet from a swine breeding farm where sporadic cutaneous papillomas of the prepuce and scrotum had previously occurred in several boars. Histologically, the tumor consisted of multiple exophytic, papillary projections composed of branching, densely cellular, fibrovascular ...

Influences Which Affect Reproductive Characters of Sows in Studied Reproductive Breeding
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2016 The aim of the study was to evaluate influences which affect reproductive characters of sows in chosen reproductive breeding. These reproductive traits of sows were studied: number of all, live born and weaned piglets, losses from live born piglets till ...

Effect of Genotype and Sex of Piglets on Their Losses Before Weaning
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2017 The aim of the experiment was to analyze selected reproductive characteristics in sows and losses of piglets according to their age and to evaluate the effect of sex on survivability of piglets before weaning.

Animal, 2020 The small intestine is an important digestive organ and plays a vital role in the life of a pig. We tested the hypothesis that the length of the small intestine is related to growth performance and intestinal functions of piglets.
