Alternative farrowing systems: design criteria for farrowing systems based on the biological needs of sows and piglets [PDF]

, 2010
The construction of a suitable farrowing environment is a continuing dilemma: the piglet's needs must be matched with those of the sow and the farmer during the main phases that constitute farrowing: nest building, parturition and lactation. Difficulties

Transient effects of weaning on the health of newly weaning piglets [PDF]

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2016
The transient effects of weaning on the health of newly weaning piglets were investigated. In this study, 24 piglets were randomly assigned to weaning and suckling (control) groups. Weaning piglets were sacrificed on days 1, 4, and 7 post-weaning; suckling piglets were slaughtered at the corresponding time points. Blood samples and internal organs were

Weaning stress and intestinal health of piglets: A review

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Weaning is considered to be one of the most critical periods in pig production, which is related to the economic benefits of pig farms. However, in actual production, many piglets are often subjected to weaning stress due to the sudden separation from the sow, the changes in diet and living environment, and other social challenges. Weaning stress often

Maternal or post-weaning dietary fructo-oligosaccharide supplementation reduces stillbirth rate of sows and diarrhea of weaned piglets

Animal Nutrition
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are well-known prebiotics that have the potential to improve sow reproductive performance and increase piglet growth. However, previous studies were observed in sole FOS-supplemented diets of sows or weaned piglets and did ...

Lysine requirement of weaned piglets

animal
Lysine, often referred to as the 'first limiting amino acid' in pig nutrition, plays a pivotal role in growth performance. Variability in lysine requirements arises due to factors such as age, sex and environmental conditions. Optimising pig health and production efficiency and minimising nitrogen excretion require accurate knowledge of estimated ...

Bacillus halotolerans SW207 alleviates enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli-induced inflammatory responses in weaned piglets by modulating the intestinal epithelial barrier, the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway, and intestinal microbiota

Microbiology Spectrum
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the major pathogens contributing to piglet diarrhea, with significant implications for both piglet health and the economic aspects of the livestock industry.

Enteromorpha polysaccharide-zinc replacing prophylactic antibiotics contributes to improving gut health of weaned piglets

Animal Nutrition, 2021
This research aimed to study whether Enteromorpha polysaccharide-zinc (EP-Zn) can act as an alternative to antibiotics in weaned piglet feeds. Two hundred and twenty-four weaned piglets from 14 pens were randomly assigned into 1 of 2 groups according to ...

Effect of Piglet Age on Distress Associated with Gas Euthanasia, Neonate vs. Weaned [PDF]

, 2013
The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of euthanasia gases administered to 2 age groups of piglets: neonates (less than 3 days, n=160, BW 2.61 ± 0.81 kg) and weaned (16 to 24 days, n=160, BW 4.62 ± 0.76 kg). Two different gases were
