Abstract:

Nose contact is a frequent form of social behaviour in pigs, but the motivational reasons underlying this behaviour remain unclear. We investigated the frequency, direction and type of sow–piglet nosing behaviour and its association with sow and piglet traits. Social nosing behaviour was recorded by live observations and video recordings in 22 sows and their 249 piglets in free-farrowing pens once weekly during the first three weeks after farrowing (3 times 30 min of observations per litter). Piglet-to-sow nosing occurred on average 32.8 ± 2.35 times per 30 min per litter. Heavier piglets at one week of age nosed the sow more than lighter piglets (P = 0.01). Piglet-to-sow nosing was unrelated to the piglet’s sex or teat order. Sow-to-piglet nosing occurred on average 3.6 ± 0.53 times per 30 min, and this was unrelated to litter size. Primiparous sows nosed their piglets more in the second week after farrowing. Litters in which piglet-to-sow nosing occurred more showed less variation in the expression of this behaviour across the weeks. Social nosing between sow and piglets deserves further research to understand the positive implications of this behaviour for sow and piglet welfare.

Abstract:

The iron chelator ethylene diamine-di-orthohydroxyphenyl acetic acid (EDDHA) was fed to 79 colostrum-deprived piglets with or without bovine or porcine serum immunoglobulins. Piglets that received bovine immunoglobulins from birth to day 14 had significantly lower survival rates, average daily weight gains and plasma immunoglobulin concentrations than piglets that received porcine immunoglobulins on the first day after birth. Piglets that received porcine immunoglobulins on day 1 followed by either bovine or porcine immunoglobulins on days 2–14 had significantly higher average daily gains than piglets that received no immunoglobulins on days 2–14. The addition of EDDHA to piglet's diets from birth to day 14 caused significant decreases in piglet average daily weight gains but had no effect on survival. EDDHA also caused significant reductions in packed cell volume and hemoglobin concentrations during the period it was included in the diet but these effects ceased when EDDHA was withdrawn. The effects of EDDHA on iron metabolism and excretion in the piglet were studied further using [59Fe]. Eight piglets were fed a commercial milk replacer containing either 0 or 37.5 mg kg−1 body weight d−1 of EDDHA. Piglets that received EDDHA had significantly longer plasma iron disappearance rates but did not significantly differ in hematocrits or plasma iron concentrations. Oral administration of EDDHA significantly increased the excretion of [59Fe] in the feces and urine and significantly reduced the incorporation of [59Fe] into red blood cells. There were no treatment differences in the distribution of [59Fe] in the livers or spleens of the piglets. Key words: EDDHA, immunoglobulins, piglet, artificial rearing, [59Fe]

Abstract:

An adequate intake of colostrum by the newborn piglet allows the piglet to acquire passive immunity and develop active immunity. However there is relatively little information on the composition of colostrum from sows of modern genotypes. The purpose of the study was therefore to investigate the changes in IgG concentration of colostrum and the uptake of colostrum by piglets.A total of 9 muciparous sows (Newsham - Large White x Landrace) were observed whilst farrowing naturally. Colostrum was sampled, without using oxytocin, at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 h post partum from the anterior, middle and rear thirds of the udder and frozen at -20 °C. Colostrum intake was measured as soon as piglets began to suckle after being born, by removing three piglets/sow from the sow and weighing the piglets before and after a period of suckling, the mean weight change over eight consecutive weighings (corrected for urinary losses) being taken as colostrum intake. Piglets were observed to determine on which udder section the piglet was suckling. IgG concentration was measured using an ELISA technique (Varley et al, 1985). Statistical analysis was carried out using analysis of variance.

Abstract:

The article studied the dependence of the realization of the genetic potential of reproductive qualities and the intensity of use of crossbred F1 sows of Danish selection when hybridizing them with boars of the specialized parent line of the Danish Durok breed on the system of feeding piglets in the post-weaning period. The influence of the multifertility of sows and the system of feeding their piglets on the leading indicators of the reproductive function of sows and the intensity of their use and the use of machine equipment. It was established that pig enterprises that used a liquid system of feeding piglets were 30 % larger than farms that used a dry feeding system. Their sows had 1.2 % higher fertility and 2.6 % better survival of piglets, resulting in a 4.4 % greater number of piglets at weaning. At the same time, due to the 9.7 % higher average daily growth, the live weight of each piglet at weaning in farms where their liquid feeding was used was 8.0 % higher, which, together with the more significant number of animals in the nest, led to a 12.8 % increase in weight their nests are not this time. According to the comprehensive indices of reproductive productivity of sows, their level in farms where liquid feeding was used was higher by 3.9–5.0 %. It has been proven that the use of a liquid piglet feeding system contributed to an increase of 1.5 % in the number of farrowing per year, 6.0 % in the number of weaned piglets per sow per year, 4.4 % in the average annual number of weaned piglets per machine, by 3.2 % to improve the farrowing ratio of sows. At the same time, it led to a decrease of 7.2 % in the period from weaning of piglets to insemination of the sow, 18.1 % of the average annual number of non-productive days per sow, by 8.3 % of feed consumption by the sow based on one kilogram of live weight of weaned piglets, by 2.1 % of the average annual number of dead sows and by 16.8 % of the share of introduction of piglets into the main herd. At the same time, animals in these farms consumed 5.0 % more feed annually than their counterparts in farms where traditional dry feeding of piglets was used. It was established that multifertility likely affected the weight of one piglet at weaning. In comparison, the method of feeding piglets in the post-weaning period likely affected piglets' survival before weaning and one piglet's weight at weaning. In contrast, the interaction of these factors has a probable impact only on the survival of piglets before weaning. These two factors had no possible influence on the rest of the studied productivity characteristics and technological indicators of the use of sows.

To understand pre-weaning mortality of piglets in a bedded, group-farrowing system, associations with sow parity, mortality of piglets during the first 24 h after birth, farrowing behavior, cross-fostering, birth weight and gender of piglets were investigated. Sows (n=169, parity 1 to 10) from eight contemporary groups were evaluated. Litter size at birth, dead piglets from birth to weaning, and individual weight of piglets at birth and weaning (27±2.6 d) were recorded. Behavior of 46 focal sows during farrowing was video-recorded. Piglet mortality within litter increased (P<0.001) with increasing parity. Piglets that died before weaning were lighter (P<0.001) at birth than weaned piglets. Mortality of pigs during the first 24 h postpartum was correlated positively with pre-weaning mortality within litter (R2=0.34; P<0.001). Farrowing behaviors were not associated with piglet mortality, and were not different among sows of different parities, or between sows with and without 24 h piglet mortality. Gender of piglets and cross-fostering did not affect piglet mortality. Results indicate that parity, 24 h mortality, and birth weight of piglets were the major animal-related factors associated with piglet mortality in the loose farrowing system studied.

Abstract Objectives To molecular characterize the expression levels of lactoferrin receptor (LfR) in different regions of brain and its response to lactoferrin (LF) intervention in piglets. Methods 3-day-old male piglets were randomly allocated to groups (Grp) 1 fed milk replacer supplemented with LF 1.1 g/L (n = 16) and Grp 2 0.06 g/L (n = 16) as control. Piglets were euthanised at 38 days of age. Gene and protein expression of LfR was analysed using we published methods (1). Study protocol has been approved by animal ethic committee of Xiamen University. Results Our results showed that the cellular levels of mRNA coding for LfR was differentially expressed in ten sub-regions of piglet's brain. The highest expression level of LfR gene was found in the prefrontal cortex (PF, 20.45 ± 2.11) following by the parietal lobe (PL), brainstem (BS), occipital lobe (OL), sub ventricular zone (SVZ), olfactory bulb (OB), hippocampus (Hip), amygdala (Amy), cerebellum (CE) and thalamus (THA) respectively. The mRNA expression of LfR in the PF was ∼15% time higher than that of thalamus (THA, 1.38 ± 0.549). Overall differences between sub-regions of brain were highly significant. There was a positive correlation between expression level of mRNA and protein of the tested tissues. LfR expression in different regions of brain significantly responded to dietary LF intervention in piglets (P < 0.05). Conclusions We demonstrated that LfR differentially expressed in different regions of brain and responded to dietary LF intervention in pigleta, an animal model of human infant. The cellular abundance of LfR in ten subregions of piglet brain is regulated at the level of transcription. The role of LfR in neurodevelopment is under investigation.

Abstract:

Sow productivity has a significant economic impact on the swine industry and is influenced by several factors, including preweaning piglet mortality. In Western breeds, low birth weight piglets exhibit the greatest susceptibility to preweaning mortality. In contrast, Meishan (MS) piglets have decreased birth weights but lower preweaning mortality rates, suggesting that birth weight is not the sole component of preweaning survival. The objective of the current study was to determine the contributions of the maternal and piglet breed and their interactions on piglet growth and blood components pertaining to survivability during lactation following reciprocal embryo transfer between MS and White crossbred (WC) gilts. Twenty-five successful pregnancies were produced by embryo transfer in 2 farrowing seasons that represented all maternal and piglet breed combinations; MS × MS (n = 4 litters), MS × WC (n = 7 litters), WC × MS (n = 7 litters), and WC × WC (n = 7 litters). At Day 1, 10, and weaning (average weaning age = 18 days), piglets (n = 147, 97, and 94, respectively at Day 1, 10, and weaning) were weighed and blood samples were taken. Hematocrit, hemoglobin, glucose, nitrogen, nonesterified fatty acids, albumin, and cortisol were measured in all blood samples. All data were analysed for ANOVA using mixed model procedures. Piglet weights were greater (P < 0.001) throughout lactation in piglets from WC dams regardless of piglet breed. As a result, average daily gains from Days 1 to 10 and weaning were greater (P < 0.05) in piglets from WC dams. There were significant (P < 0.001) maternal × piglet × day interactions for hematocrit and hemoglobin levels in which levels were greatest at Day 1 in MS piglets from WC dams and at Day 10 in MS piglets from MS dams but decreased in WC piglets from WC dams at Day 1. Glucose was greater (P < 0.05) at Day 1 in piglets from WC dams regardless of piglet breed but was greater (P < 0.05) at weaning in WC piglets regardless of maternal breed. Nitrogen was similar at Day 1 for all maternal and piglet breed combinations, but at Day 10 and weaning, nitrogen levels were greater (P < 0.001) in MS piglets regardless of maternal breed. Nonesterified fatty acid was greater throughout lactation in piglets from MS dams irrespective of piglet breed. Albumin was greater (P < 0.05) in MS piglets throughout lactation regardless of maternal breed. Cortisol was not different between the maternal and piglet breed combinations throughout lactation, but cortisol was greater (P < 0.001) at Day 1 compared with Day 10 and weaning. This study demonstrated that piglet growth during lactation was influenced more by maternal breed in favor of WC dams, which supports previous crossbreeding studies. However, blood components pertaining to survivability displayed complex interactions between the piglet and maternal breed, which may signify possible mechanisms for improved preweaning survivability of MS pigs.

Abstract:

Piglets are susceptible to hypothermia because they lack hair and energy reserves, have a large surface area to body weight ratio, and have poor body thermostability. Different heat sources are used on farm, but it is not known how long it takes half a litter to locate it and lie down. The objectives of this study were to determine 1) how long it took for ≥ 50% of piglets to locate and lie on- or under the supplemental heat source for ≥ 5 min after the birth of the last-born pig and, 2) how long this cohort of piglets laid on- or under the heat source. A total of 12 sows were enrolled in the study (parity 1 = 4; 3 = 2; 4 = 2; 5 = 2; and 7 = 2). The stall containing one sow and her litter was the experimental unit. Two treatments were compared: 1) Baby Pig Heat Mat—Single 48 (MAT) and 2) Poly Heat Lamp (LAMP). Temperature was 32°C for both heat source treatments. Sow and litter video recordings occurred continually over a 24-h period on the day of farrowing. Two measures were determined 1) how long it took for ≥ 50% of piglets to locate and lie on- or under the supplemental heat source for ≥ 5 min after the birth of the last-born pig (h:min), and 2) how long this cohort of piglets laid on- or under the heat source (min:sec). Lying was defined as either sternal or lateral recumbency with ≥ 75% of the piglet’s body touching the heat mat or inside the lamp heat circle. Production records were used to verify farrowing date, total number of piglets born, and born alive. No cross fostering occurred during this study. All data will be presented descriptively. On average, sows assigned to the LAMP treatment took ~2 ½-h to farrow, and for sows assigned to the MAT ~3 ½-h, respectively. Piglets took between ~5-h (LAMP) and ~9-h (MAT) for ≥ 50% of piglets to locate and lie on- or under the supplemental heat source for ≥ 5 min after the birth of the last piglet. Cohort of piglets laid on- or under the heat source as follows, LAMP piglets spent ~29 mins lying and for MAT piglets ~42 mins, respectively. Average pre-weaning mortality was 11% (LAMP) and 18% (MAT). The MAT heat source used less energy than the LAMP (16 vs. 63 kWh) over the study duration. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first published study using a continuous sampling method to precisely examine a new measure (time needed for ≥ 50% of piglets to locate and lie on- or under the supplemental heat source for ≥ 5 min after the birth of the last-born piglet) and to determine how long this cohort of piglets laid on- or under the heat source. Our findings show an immense range in locating and lying under- or on the heat source. Therefore, we suggest that caretakers should assist all piglets to locate the heat source after farrowing is complete to improve piglet livability.

Abstract:

This is a comprehensive review on the use of nutritional strategies to shape the functioning of the gastro-intestinal tract in suckling and weaned piglets. The progressive development of a piglet’s gut and the associated microbiota and immune system offers a unique window of opportunity for supporting gut health through dietary modulation. This is particularly relevant for large litters, for which sow colostrum and milk are insufficient. The authors have therefore proposed the use of supplemental milk and creep feed with a dual purpose. In addition to providing nutrients to piglets, supplemental milk can also serve as a gut modulator in early life by incorporating functional ingredients with potential long-term benefits. To prepare piglets for weaning, it is important to stimulate the intake of solid feed before weaning, in addition to stimulating the number of piglets eating. The use of functional ingredients in creep feed and a transition diet around the time of weaning helps to habituate piglets to solid feed in general, while also preparing the gut for the digestion and fermentation of specific ingredients. In the first days after weaning (i.e., the acute phase), it is important to maintain high levels of feed intake and focus on nutritional strategies that support good gastric (barrier) function and that avoid overloading the impaired digestion and fermentation capacity of the piglets. In the subsequent maturation phase, the ratio of lysine to energy can be increased gradually in order to stimulate piglet growth. This is because the digestive and fermentation capacity of the piglets is more mature at this stage, thus allowing the inclusion of more fermentable fibres. Taken together, the nutritional strategies addressed in this review provide a structured approach to preparing piglets for success during weaning and the period that follows. The implementation of this approach and the insights to be developed through future research can help to achieve some of the most important goals in pig production: reducing piglet mortality, morbidity and antimicrobial use.

Abstract:

To investigate whether piglets show different personality types due to teat position, a number ofexperiments were performed on 21 different litters, 9 to 31 days old. The tests included threefocal piglets in each litter with different teat position, anterior, middle and posterior, inobservations on suckling behaviour, undisturbed behaviours, a novel object test and a straw-testwhere thirteen behaviours were observed. The tests found an effect on teat position on frequencyof disputes between piglets during suckling and their teat position (P=0.018) and a tendency ofdifference in undisturbed playing behaviour between piglets at different teat position (P=0.057).All tests found differences between litters concerning behaviours. With a Principal componentanalysis, the four personality types curiosity, playful, food interest and straw interest wasestablished. No effect between different teat positions and personality type were found, but atendency of difference between personality trait playful and different teat positions (P=0.062). Inconclusion: no significant differences between teat position and personality type in piglets couldbe established.

Abstract:

AbstractInformation regarding physical and photobiological basics of wIRA-HT has been derived under in vivo conditions in piglets and human tissues. Since wIRA fits into the optical window of tissues, direct conversion of absorbed radiation into heat (T >39 °C) has been proven up to tissue depths of 26 mm. Tissue heating cannot sufficiently be characterized by the specification of the radiant exposure (dose) due to its dependence on the thermal impact of irradiance and exposure time and on heat dissipation and metabolic heat production. If irradiations of identical doses are used, resulting tissue hyperthermia levels are the higher, the shorter the exposure time and the higher the irradiance. To comply with the ESHO criteria, incident wIRA irradiances should exceed ≈ 110 mWcm−2 (IR-A). At higher irradiances, steady-state temperatures (SST) ≥ 39 °C have been observed to tissue depths >20 mm in piglets and up to 26 mm in humans. SST values ≥40 °C have been measured up to tissue depths >20 mm (piglets) and up to 16 mm (humans), and SSTs ≥41 °C up to 16 mm (piglets) and up to 8 mm (humans). Post-heating temperature decay times limit optimal intervals between hyperthermia (HT) and subsequent radiotherapy (RT) sessions to periods ≤5 min.

Abstract:

AbstractThis is the first multimodal study of cerebral tissue metabolism and perfusion post-hypoxic-ischaemic (HI) brain injury using broadband near-infrared spectroscopy (bNIRS), diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). In seven piglet preclinical models of neonatal HI, we measured cerebral tissue saturation (StO2), cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral oxygen metabolism (CMRO2), changes in the mitochondrial oxidation state of cytochrome c oxidase (oxCCO), cerebral glucose metabolism (CMRglc) and tissue biochemistry (Lac+Thr/tNAA). At baseline, the parameters measured in the piglets that experience HI (not controls) were 64 ± 6% StO2, 35 ± 11 ml/100 g/min CBF and 2.0 ± 0.4 μmol/100 g/min CMRO2. After HI, the parameters measured were 68 ± 6% StO2, 35 ± 6 ml/100 g/min CBF, 1.3 ± 0.1 μmol/100 g/min CMRO2, 0.4 ± 0.2 Lac+Thr/tNAA and 9.5 ± 2.0 CMRglc. This study demonstrates the capacity of a multimodal set-up to interrogate the pathophysiology of HIE using a combination of optical methods, MRS, and PET.

Abstract:

Anecdotal clinical experience suggests that more heparin is required in newborn infants that in adult patients to effectively treat thrombotic disease. We compared the ability of heparin to inhibit thrombus formation induced by a pathological bolus of thrombin and stasis in newborn piglets and 3 week old pigs. The coagulation system of the newborn piglet closely resembles that of the human neonate Including low antithrombin III (AT-III) activity (0.5U/ml). By 3 weeks, adult porcine values for coagulation factors and inhibitors are reached, while blood volume/kg body weight still approximates that of the newborn piglet. Piglets and pigs were pretreated with saline, 10 or 25U/kg heparin (n ≥16/group/dose. Following an injection of 100U/kg thrombin, systemic 125I-fibrinogen consumption and local 125I-fibrinogen incorporation into jugular venous stasis thrombi were measured. Peak heparin levels were identical In both age groups (Anti-factor Xa assay and protamine sulphate titration). Heparin was less effective in preventing thrombus formation in piglets than in pigs (Table). Heparin was also less effective in preventing systemic neonatal 125I-fibrinogen consumption (p<0.0001 at both heparin doses).Raising AT-III levels to adult values significantly improved the antithrombotic properties of heparin in neonatal piglets. Thrombus formation was completely abolished in 19 or 22 piglets who received a combination of human or porcine AT-III concentrate and 25U/kg heparin. Raising the heparin dose to 50U/kg had the same effect. We conclude that the efficacy of heparin in neutralizing thrombin is decreased in newborn piglets. Treatment with AT-III concentrate overcomes this relative heparin resistance, and may help reduce high heparin doses otherwise required in neonatal thrombotic disease.

Abstract:

The importance in intensifying the reproduction of pigs, increasing the fertility of the broodstock, as in any industry, is associated with the breeding of pigs, and the reproduction of the herd plays the main role in increasing the profitability of pig breeding. The object of the study were hybrid Landrace-Large White sows. The purpose of our research was to test a method for increasing the reproductive function and productivity of pigs using a new drug obtained from beer production waste. It was found, that feeding sows a biologically active drug (MP-MB) 30 days before farrowing and within 30 days after farrowing in the amount of 5, 10, 15 and 20 ml per head per day has a significant effect on the average daily gain in live weight of piglets, contributes to a decrease in the number of stillborn piglets, an increase in live ones per farrow and the safety of piglets at 2 months of age.

Abstract:

The study of the epizootic situation on contamination of environmental objects with infective elements in pig farming enterprises of the Moscow and Kaluga Regions showed their contamination with parasitic protozoa oocysts and cysts and nematode eggs and larvae, which was influenced by the infection of livestock with such parasites, and quality of veterinary and sanitary, and therapeutic and preventive measures. According to the contamination degree with infective elements of parasitic protozoa and nematodes, the external environment objects in sow houses and nursing piglet sites were milking bail floors and passages, as well as feeders. The milking bail walls were least contaminated with parasitic protozoa oocysts and cysts and helminth eggs and larvae. In the studied commercial pig farming enterprises, the epizootic process for parasitic protozoa: cryptosporidia, isospores, Eimeria and Balantidium, was constantly active due to the presence of all epizootic process components: the source of invasion was infected animals; vectors were environmental objects contaminated with infective elements and susceptible animals, especially piglets.

Abstract:

The main aim of this study was to assess the effect of the micronization process applied on cereals and legumes, as feed components, on the efficiency of feed conversion, digestibility, and daily gain of weaned piglets. The results showed that the digestibility of the investigated micronized maize and wheat flakes was higher than that of the respective raw grains. The digestibility of the feed mixture prepared with micronized cereals and legumes was higher (84.74%) than that of the commercial feed mixture (80.27%). The feed mixture prepared with micronized cereals and legumes manifested beneficial effects on weaned piglets’ daily gain, feed conversion, and digestibility in the feeding trial.
