Production levels and health status in Iberian piglets at weaning.
The aim of this study was to describe the postweaning growth of Iberian piglets and its relationship with the occurrence of diarrhea. To assess these factors in response to different weaning ages, a total of 360 pure-breed Iberian piglets were studied. Three trials were conducted with 120 piglets from 24 litters randomly assigned to be weaned at 28 or 42 d of age (12 litters and 60 piglets each...
متن کاملAn investigation of iron deficiency and anemia in piglets and the effect of iron status at weaning on post-weaning performance
Materials and methods: A small, medium, and large piglet (N = 1095) were selected per litter 1 to 2 days before weaning from 20 Ontario (Canada) swine farms. Serum and whole blood samples and body weights were collected. Three weeks later, a second body weight and blood sample were collected from the same pigs. Hemoglobin (Hb) and other blood parameters were analyzed to assess iron status and a...
متن کاملPotential Cause of Diarrhea in Piglets at Weaning in Hawai‘i
It has been observed on a particular farm that the zebra dove (Geopelia striata), also known as the “barred ground dove,” often frequents the feeding troughs in the weanling piglets pens. It was hypothesized that the birds contributed to incidences of diarrhea in the piglets. A simple study was initiated to examine the microbial population present in feed that had been exposed to the zebra dove...
متن کاملRelationships between individual behavioural traits and post-weaning growth in segregated early-weaned piglets.
Piglets' individual behavioural traits have been studied in the last decade but no report has linked these traits with growth. This experiment was conducted to determine if behavioural traits of segregated early-weaned piglets could be good predictors of their post-weaning growth and, thus, help to predict their adaptation to early weaning. Following segregated early weaning at 17+/-1 days old,...
متن کاملAssociation between adrenal insufficiency and ventilator weaning.
RATIONALE Adrenal insufficiency is a common disorder in critically ill patients with mechanical ventilation and is usually associated with higher mortality and poor clinical outcome. OBJECTIVES To determine whether stress dose corticosteroid supplementation can improve ventilator weaning and clinical outcome in patients with adrenal insufficiency. METHODS A prospective, randomized, placebo ...
