Total weaning weight is a function of pig quantity and quality. Pig quality can be associated with individual pig weights and survivability. As litter size increases, total weaning weight increases at a decreasing rate. As shown in Figure 1., larger litter sizes not only wean more weight, but also have higher preweaning mortality. Increased litter size has been associated with smaller, more fra...

Feed is the greatest single cost factor in pig production. In pig diets, energy accounts for the largest proportion of the cost. Therefore, it is critically important that the energy content of a diet is characterized in the best possible way. There are several systems available for the characterization of dietary energy. The most common ones digestible and metabolizable energy describe the ene...

Many Turkish people migrated to Germany between 1955 and 1975. This study was carried out in Göttingen, Germany. Fifty Turkish people (described as patients) were asked about the care they had received from German health care personnel, and 50 German nurses and 50 German physiotherapists were questioned about care they had given to Turkish patients. Significant findings were the needs of the Tu...

THE discovery of America placed the European nations in contact with three major civilizations, the Aztec in the Mexican plateau, the Maya in the Yucatan peninsula, and the Inca in the Peruvian Andes. The Mayas had been settled for centuries in the same area and developed a civilization with high cultural manifestations, whereas the Aztecs and Incas, in spite of their political power and strong...
