چکیده
The aim of the study was presentation the differences in piglets sex proportion in litter and its effect weaning and fattening results. The study was carried out on 133 piglets belonging to 10 litters being progeny of PLW breeding sows and PL boars. Individual piglets growth rate from 1 to 28 day and also during fattening period were recorded. Obtained results were statisticaly analysed including sex proportion. It was showed that in litters was born more gilts (54.89%) than boars (45.11%). Results of weaning piglets to 28 day of life showed higher survival rate of gilts during the weaning period (87.67% vs. 76.67%). Gilts were born heavier as compared to boars (1.35 kg vs. 1.23 kg) and during fattening they achieved higher body weight than barrows (104.48 kg vs. 101.17 kg) (P ≤ 0.05).

Analysis of factors to predict piglet body weight at the end of the nursery phase.
In pig (Sus Scrofa) production, within-batch variation in bw gain of piglets during the nursery period (up to 10 wk of age) can be high and is of high economic importance. Homogeneity of BW within batches of animals is important as it influences the efficiency of use of the grower and finisher facilities, and provides an extra value for the fattening farms. In the current study, factors for a l...

Intensively reared piglets may face many early life challenges and these may affect behavior. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between piglets' early life circumstances and their behavioral response in a backtest. Here, 992 piglets of 14 d of age were subjected to a backtest, in which they were restrained for 1 min in a supine position. The number of struggles in the ...
متن کاملEffects of oral doses of corn oil and other factors on preweaning survival and growth of piglets.
Piglets were provided supplemental energy as oral doses of corn oil to find whether such treatment might improve survival or weight gains. A total of 1,840 piglets from 182 litters was used. Piglets were allotted to dosed and control treatments within litter on the basis of body weight. Dosed piglets received a total of 8 ml of corn oil in four doses during the first 48 h postpartum. The surviv...

(Co) variance components and genetic parameters for growth traits in Arman sheep were estimated, using data collected during an 11-year period (1999-2010), by applying the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) procedure under univariate and bivariate animal models. The studied traits were body weight of lamb at birth (BW), body weight at 3 months of age as weaning weight (WW), body weight at 6 m...
