Evaluation of dry feeding and liquid feeding to lactating sows under high temperature environment
BACKGROUND Liquid feeding system has been introduced to domestic swine farms, but negative cognition about liquid feeding system has been remained for feed waste decay related with poor management and microbial contamination. For these reasons, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding method in lactating sows. METHODS A total of 30 mixed-parity (average 4.13) lactating sows...
متن کاملDoes feed restriction mimic the effects of increased ambient temperature in lactating sows?
We evaluated the effects of high ambient temperature and feed restriction in primiparous lactating sows. Females were exposed to either a constant thermoneutral (20 degrees C) or hot environment (30 degrees C). Lactating sows at 30 degrees C were given free access to feed (30AL; n = 12), and sows at 20 degrees C were restricted according to the feed intake recorded at 30 degrees C (20RF; n = 6)...
متن کاملEffect of ambient temperature on mammary gland metabolism in lactating sows.
Two groups of three multiparous Large White x Landrace sows were used to investigate the direct effect of ambient temperature on mammary gland metabolism. Sows from the first group were exposed to temperatures of 28 degrees C between d 8 and 14 of lactation, and 20 degrees C between d 15 and 21; treatments were reversed in the second group. Four to six d after farrowing, an ultrasonic blood flo...
متن کاملRaising Evaporative Cooling Potentials Using Combined Cooled Ceiling and High Temperature Cooling Storage
Evaporative cooling is able to generate the cooling medium at a temperature approaching to the ambient wet bulb temperature. In this paper, a low-energy air conditioning strategy is proposed, which is a combination of cooled ceiling (CC), microencapsulated phase change material (MPCM) slurry storage and evaporative cooling technologies. The assessment of evaporative cooling availability and uti...
متن کاملRingworm in lactating sows
A 100-sow farrow-to-feeder farm with an outdoor gestation lot had a 4-year history of ring-like skin lesions in lactating sows. On average, 90% of sows in each 5-week batch developed lesions within a week of entering the farrowing house. Lesions beginning as 2to 3-cm circles of dark, crusty skin coalesced into larger areas on the back, sides, and ventral abdomen. No etiologic agent was identifi...
