Effect of birth weight of piglets on growth rate and rearing performance up to 8 weeks of age. The aim of the experiment was to determine the effect of the birth weight of piglets on their rearing results up to 56 days of age, as expressed by growth rate and survival. Observations were made on 277 crossbred piglets from 22 litters of F1 sows (Polish Landrace ´Polish Large White) derived from crossbred boars (Duroc ´Pietrain), which were kept and fed the same way. Piglets were reared with mothers for 5 weeks and observed for 8 weeks. At 1, 7, 21 and 56 day of age, piglets were individually weighed. The body weight on day 1 of age served as a basis for dividing the piglets into groups I, II, III and IV (≤1.2; 1.21-1.39; 1.40-1.59; and ≥1.60 kg body weight, respectively). Coefficients of correlation were estimated between body weight on day 1 of age and at 7, 21 and 56 days of age, and daily gains. The mean body weight of the piglets on days 7, 21 and 56 differed between groups I, II, III and IV (P ≤0.01) and depended on the birth weight (r=+0.773, r=+0.567, r=+0.504). In the subsequent rearing periods, daily gains in groups I-IV increased and the differences between the groups showed similar relationships. Differences between groups II and III were small (P>0.05), and those between groups I and IV considerable and highly significant. With the increasing mean body weight at birth, piglet survival increased and was higher in group IV vs I by 13.64 percentage points. The birth weight ≥ 1.60 kg ensured the best growth rate and survival of the piglets.
Effect of dietary arginine supplementation on body weight changes and productivity of sows.The objective of this study was to determine whether provision of additional arginine to pregnant and lactating sows could influence body weight changes in females during reproductive cycle as well as reproductive and rearing performance of the piglets. The study included 36 F1 crossbred sows (Polish Landrace ´Polish Large White), including 12 primiparous and 24 multiparous sows, which after insemination were randomly allocated to experimental group E (6 primiparous – P and 12 multiparous – M) and control group C (6 P and 12 M). Sows from both groups received complete diets, which were fed to meet requirements. Sows from group E were supplemented with amino acid (L-arginine 98%) at 0.3 kg/ton for pregnant sows (from 4 weeks after insemination) and at 0.5 kg/ton for lactating sows. C sows were not supplemented. Feeding group (C, E) had a significant effect on sow body weight at weaning (P ≤0.01), while lactation (P, M) had a significant effect on sow body weight at mating and weaning, and also on body weight change during the weaning-to-mating period (P ≤0.01). The number of piglets born to primiparous sows from group E vs C was higher by 1.3 piglets (11.11%) (P >0.05). 28-day-old weaned piglets, reared by primiparous sows, were significantly heavier than the progeny of multiparous sows (P ≤0.01), by 0.76 kg/animal (10.08%) in group C and by 0.97 kg/animal (12.63%) in group E. Piglets from group E vs C were heavier at weaning by 0.35 kg (4.22%) when born to primiparous sows, and by 0.14 kg (1.86%) when born to multiparous sows. No group ´lactation interaction has been shown for any of the parameters studied. It seems appropriate to supplement pregnant and nursing primiparous sows with dietary arginine.
Effect of liquid acidifiers on rearing performance of suckling piglets.Crossbred piglets from 36 litters (12 litters each in control group C and in experimental groups E1 and E2) were investigated. From birth to weaning at 28 days of age, piglets from group E1 received drinking water with a 2% solution of lactic, formic and orthophosphoric acids, and those from group E2 a 0.05% solution of Baracid P, which contained phosphoric, citric, lactic, formic and tartaric acids. No acidifier was used in group C. The piglets were monitored for body weight, mortality, and the incidence and duration of diarrhea. Production parameters were average in all the groups. Daily weight gains from 1 to 28 days of age were comparable in the groups (P >0.05). The additives increased piglet survival (by 1.0 percentage point in group E1 vs C and by 1.8 percentage point in group E2 vs C) and decreased the number of days with diarrhea in experimental compared to control piglets. The differences in daily gains between the groups were statistically not significant, but the improved health and higher survival of piglets in the experimental groups compared to the control group indicate the appropriateness of using acidifiers in rearing of young pigs.
