Genetic and clinical studies of teat traits in the pig [PDF]

, 2013
A major goal of pig breeding is to produce sows with good longevity, which can raise many uniform litters with healthy, fast-growing piglets. The fitness of the sow, including the presence of sufficient number of functional teats, is one key to the ...

Early social contact alters the community structure and functions of the faecal microbiome in suckling-growing piglets

Animal, 2021
Social contact during suckling, in an enriched social environment, can reduce the aggressive behaviours of piglets during regrouping at weaning, and improve their production performance and welfare.

Gut Microbiota-Derived Metabolite Signature in Suckling and Weaned Piglets

, 2020
International audienceThe gut microbiota plays a key role in intestinal development at the suckling-to-weaning transition. The objective of this study was to analyze the production of metabolites by the gut microbiota in suckling and weaned piglets.

Body weight of newborn and suckling piglets affects their intestinal gene expression

Journal of Animal Science, 2022
Modern hyperprolific sows must deal with large litters (16–20 piglets) which reduce piglet birthweight with a concomitant increase in the proportion of small and intrauterine growth retarded piglets.

Tail and ear necrosis in piglets of sows with increased weight loss over the suckling period. [PDF]

, 2022
A farm belonging to a Swiss sow pool system reported increased cases of necrosis on the base of the tail or ears in their piglets. Therefore, herd examination was performed in February 2021, and it was found that about half of all examined litters ...

Feed intake behaviour of piglets in single and group suckling pens

Landbauforschung, 2021
Early contact to plant-based feed (creep feed) should stimu- late the adaption of the gastrointestinal system and promote gut development, with the desired effect of less physiological stress at weaning, lower incidence of diarrhoea and high- er growth ...

Impact of Intestinal Microbiota on Growth Performance of Suckling and Weaned Piglets

Microbiology spectrum, 2023
The relationship between pigs' intestinal microbiota and growth performance is of great importance for improving piglets’ health and reducing antimicrobial use. We found that gut microbiota variation is significantly associated with growth during weaning

The Effect of Feeding Liquid or Dry Creep Feed on Growth Performance, Feed Disappearance, Enzyme Activity and Number of Eaters in Suckling Piglets

Animals, 2021
Simple Summary The transition from sow’s milk to a vegetable-based diet around weaning is one of the most critical periods in a pig’s life, due to the strong association between undigested nutrients and post weaning diarrhoea.

Integrating Machine Learning to Identify Key Microbiota of Gut Community Changes Across Different Stages in Dahe Black Pigs

Microorganisms
Growth stage is a key factor influencing the composition and richness of the porcine gut microbiota. The stage-specific alterations in gut microbiota of indigenous Chinese pig breeds and cultivated breeds remain to be elucidated. This study conducted 16S
