Relieving stress in piglets after weaning

Животноводство России, 2023
Объединение гнезд поросят в подсосный период путем устройства лазов между смежными станками на 36–38-й день их жизни (за 6–8 суток до отъема) помогает животным адаптироваться к новым условиям, что в дальнейшем обеспечивает повышение их живой массы и сохранности.

Analysis of weaning‐induced stress in Saanen goat kids

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2012
SummaryIn young ruminants’ life, weaning often coincides with a period of growth stasis and poor welfare. The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of coping with the new diet on behavioural and haematological stress indicators in goat kids subjected to a commonly adopted weaning practice.

Weaning as a cardiac stress test

2007
The possibility of weaning failure of cardiac origin must be considered in patients suffering from previous left heart disease, in particular when they have associated airway obstruction and/or right heart disease. Among the complex pathophysiological mechanisms, myocardial ischaemia and augmentation of LV after load must be emphasised.

Patterns of Weaning and Adult Response to Stress

Physiology & Behavior, 1999
Early environmental effects including variation in maternal care, can modify hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function. One of the more overt early effects, involving maternal care, is weaning restraint. In this study the effects of different patterns of weaning, in the rat (Rattus norvegicus), on both adult response to restraint stress and to

Lambs are more stressed at early weaning when housed with their twin

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2022
The objective of this study was to compare the behavioural and immunological responses of twin lambs housed together with their siblings or not after weaning. The study was performed with seven multiparous Milchschaf ewes and their twin lambs (n = 14), which were weaned abruptly at 63 days of age and assigned to two experimental groups: (1) lambs that ...

Early weaning augments neuroendocrine stress responses in mice

Behavioural Brain Research, 2006
Weaning is one of the most important events in early mammalian life. We investigated the influence of early weaning on the development of neuroendocrine responses to stress in mice. Our study indicated that precocious weaning augments anxiety and aggressiveness in mice, and the lack of mother-pup interaction from postnatal days 15-21 may account for ...

Characterization of the Interferon-α Response of Pigs to the Weaning Stress

Journal of Interferon & Cytokine Research, 2011
The interferon (IFN)-α response of pigs to the stressing event of early weaning was investigated in a field trial. All the animals under study remained healthy and tested negative for common viral infections. However, a low-titered IFN-α response was detected in many sera by a bioassay on Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells on ...

Effects of early weaning on anxiety and autonomic responses to stress in rats

Behavioural Brain Research, 2006
Environmental stimuli affect various aspects of the early physical and behavioral development in rats. One of the most important events in the early stage of life is weaning, and we recently reported that precocious weaning augments anxiety and aggressiveness in rats and mice.

Behavioural stress indicators in early weaned piglets

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1990
When animals are exposed to stressors, the first visible reaction will be a change in behaviour. The aim of this study was to find behavioural stress indicators to be used for assessing the suitability of housing systems for piglets weaned at 3-4 weeks old. The assumption that the behavioural stress indicators found in this investigation are indicators
