Growth of Yorkshire suckling pigs.

چکیده
The birthweights and daily liveweights for 87 male and 99 female pigs reared under drylot conditions were obtained over a 3-week period and used to construct a growth curve for the very young male and female pig. Analysis of variance was used to test litter and sex main effects and the litter x sex interaction effect on liveweight. The daily standard deviations of the 186 pig sample were calculated and are presented in graphic form. No significant difference between the growth of male and female pigs of this young age were found. The average birth and first-, secondand thirdweek liveweights and standard deviations were 1.1±.12, 2.0±.27, 3.3±.48 and 5.0±.74 kg., respectively, for the pooled male and female observations. Analysis of variance of the data indicated significant differences in growth due to litter effects for all of the 21 days of the experiment, but there was generally no significant difference due to sex and no sex x litter

Fasting plasma hormones and metabolites in feral and domestic newborn pigs.
Newborn Yorkshire and Ossabaw (feral) pigs were examined under thermoneutral conditions to determine whether survival rate during fasting differs between these breeds and whether any blood-borne factors are associated with improved survival. Newborn pigs were removed from the sow before suckling. Body composition was determined on 10 newborn Ossabaw and 12 newborn Yorkshire pigs. Another group ...

متن کاملMilk leptin in sows and blood leptin and growth of their offspring.
Twenty-one mixed-parity (average 2.4 +/- 0.49) crossbred sows and their offspring were used to determine whether sow milk leptin at farrowing was related to neonatal serum leptin and pig growth to weaning. During farrowing, pigs were randomly allotted to suckling (n = 99) or delayed suckling (n = 89) groups, with delayed suckling pigs placed in a group pen apart from the dam before suckling. Bo...
متن کاملDigestive utilization of phosphorus from plant-based diets in the Cassie line of transgenic Yorkshire pigs that secrete phytase in the saliva.
A line of transgenic Yorkshire pigs referred to as the Cassie (CA) line was generated, which possessed a stable, low copy number phytase transgene insertion that enabled phytase secretion in the saliva. This study was conducted to assess growth and efficacy for improving P, Ca, and other macromineral utilization in the CA pigs receiving diets typical of those used for commercial swine productio...

In experiments previously described (Braude, 1949) we observed a growth-stimulating effect in suckling pigs dosed with a liver extract, whereas we obtained no response to dosing with pure crystalline vitamin B,, (Braude & Mitchell, unpublished results). Following reports from the United States of America about the growthpromoting effect of various antibiotics (Stokstad, Jukes, Pierce, Page & Fr...
