ABSTRACT We evaluated the maternal behavior, physiology, and reproductive performance of both Damin (Min-pig × Large White) and Large White gilts to identify the advantages hybrid sows offer with regard to stress relieve and improvement of the welfare level of sows during late lactation. First-parity Damin gilts (n = 40) and first-parity Large White gilts (n = 40) were farrowed in individual pens. Video surveillance was used to monitor the occurrence of lateral recumbency and compare it to other postures, […]

This study evaluated the relationship between digestible lysine and metabolizable energy for barrow and gilts from 24 to 50 kg. Performance, digestibility and blood profile were studied. The experimental design was of randomized blocks, with five treatments, eight replicates and two animals per experimental unit in the performance assay and four replicates and one animal per experimental unit in the digestibility assay. The blood profile was chosen at 20 random animals of each sex, with four replicates per treatment and […]

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of digestible energy (DE) levels on performance and carcass gain composition. Fifty crossbred gilts and 50 crossbred barrows, from 30 to 60 kg, maintained in a thermoneutral environment, were used. The experimental design was a randomized blocks with five treatments (3100, 3250, 3400, 3550, and 3700 kcal de DE/kg of diet), five replicates and two animals per experimental unit. In the experiment with gilts the DE level did not influence daily weight […]
