The common GPS technology – used at sea or in motor vehicle traffic - does not meet the measurement quality requirements of the present day model tests. It is necessary to use special receivers performing very precise real time measurements. Specialised microprocessor controllers allow to substitute a fallible and inaccurate ship model operator by computers. They guarantee practical execution of precisely defined tasks and their full repeatability. Owing to the coordination of the GPS geodesic technology, computing power of the present day miniature processors and radio communications - test automation, unmanned models, quick analysis of results and control from shore have become feasible
Most of the strategies developed to reduce weaning diarrhea and to improve the health and performance of pigs are targeted at the post-weaning period and concern modifications of feed composition and/or supplementation with a variety of feed additives. Studies on the physiology of gastrointestinal tract development, however, clearly demonstrated a conflict between the immaturity of the gut mucosa and early weaning. A kidney bean lectin preparation (Suilectin™, Biolek, Poland) was designed to speed up the maturation of the pig gastrointestinal mucosa before weaning. The aim of the present study was to examine the effectiveness of Suilectin™ under practical conditions. The study was performed in a single farm on the total of 3575 piglets, some of which orally received a single dose of Suilectin™ when they were 10-12 d of age (3.27 ± 0.04 kg body weight, BW). Piglets were weaned when they were 25-26 d of life. Their body weight, food intake, clinical health, and veterinary costs were calculated. Suilectin™-treated pigs were characterized by a higher BW at weaning, a lower incidence of post-weaning diarrhea, lower costs of veterinary treatment, and lower mortality as compared to control.
The process of weaning is complex and encompasses not only changes related to the type food ingested, but also environmental and psychological changes influencing the functioning of the digestive tract. During weaning there is a decreased feed intake and an ensuing lack of body weight gain or even a decrease in body weight Histological and biochemical changes in the structure and functioning of the small intestine decrease the digestion and absorption capacity of the gastrointestinal tract leading to serious economical losses. The aim of the study was to determine the efficacy of the original compound (Suilektin®), obtained from kidney beans, in preventing digestive dysfunctions of the gastrointestinal tract and piglets body weight decrease during the weaning period. Experiments were carried out in 4 pig farms on 298 piglets of both sexes from days 10-63 of postnatal life. In each farm the piglets were divided into control and experimental groups. Piglets from the experimental group received a single oral dose of an aqueous suspension of Suilektin® compound between day 10 and 14 of life. The piglets were weaned at the age of 28 days and fed a complete mixture during the appropriate growing period. In 2 farms mixtures not containing growth promoters were fed to the pigs, and in the remaining 2 farms a commercial mixture containing antibiotic growth promoters was given to the animals. The results indicate the positive effect of Suilektin® compound when it is administered orally between day 10 and 14 of life. At the end of the observation period the piglets from the group receiving the lectin compound demonstrated a significantly higher body weight and daily body weight gain in comparison to the piglets from the control group. Feed conversion ratios also indicated better feed utilization in the group of piglets receiving the Suilektin® compound compared to the control groups. The results of the study indicate that a single dose of Suilektin® compound administered between day 10 and 14 of life facilitates an increased daily body weight gain during the weaning period in both large and small pig farms independently of whether or not antibiotic growth promoters are included in the feed.
