The aim of the paper was to evaluate the effect of the birth body weight of the piglets on their productivity and survivability up to the age of 10 weeks. The observations covered the piglets born by 11 sows F1 of Polish Large White × Polish Landrace, inseminated by the semen of the boras (Duroc × Pietrain). The piglets were weighed on 1st, 21st, 35th and 70th day of life and the feed intake (per litter) was controlled. Depending on their birth body weight, the piglets were classifi ed into two groups: light (L) <1.5 kg (n = 52), heavy (H) ≥1.5 kg (n = 60). The mean general body weight of the piglets on 1st, 21st, 35th and 70th day was equal to 1.45, 5.09, 7.70 and 14.18 kg, respectively. In the groups, it was as follows: L – 1.17, 4.58, 6.91 and 13.00 kg; H – 1.70, 5.51, 8.29 and 15.12 kg, respectively (L–H, P ≤ 0.001). The deaths of the piglets in groups L and H amounted to 15.4 and 6.7%, respectively. In the situation of a free access of the progeny to mother’s feed and solid feedstuff, the obtained results indicate that the worse productivity, as expressed by lower feed conversion (by 10.5–16%), slower growth rate (by 12–20%) and lowered survivability (by 8.7 percentage points) of the piglets from groups L vs. group H, were the effect of considerably lower body weight of the newborn piglets as compared to their mean body weight
The purpose of the studies was to determine the number of piglets born (NPB) and reared until 21 day (NPR) by the sows of Polish Landrace and Polish Large White breeds, differing in the number of teats. For calculations, the results from breeding pig houses of the Mazovian region, collected during the years 2004-2009, were employed. Three groups of females were distinguished for the particular breeds: those ones, possessing 14, 15 or 16 teats. The number of records for Polish Large White was equal to 1,019 and for Polish Land-race, it was 1,732. The statistically confirmed differences were revealed in respect of NPB by the groups of females, possessing 14, 15 or 16 teats (P < 0.01) and NPR until the age of 3 weeks by the sows of the same breed, possessing 14 or 15 teats (P < 0.05). The differences in NPB and NPR in the sows which possessed 14, 15 or 16 teats were not statistically confirmed (P < 0.05). Any univo-cal relationships between the deaths of the piglets until 21 day of life and the number of teats in the sows of the examined breeds were not found; the level of losses varied from 10.60 to 12.65%. The obtained results indicate that the number of teats in the sows may affect the results of rearing the piglet until 21 day. The access to mother milk is not, however, the only one indicators of success in rearing of the progeny.
Comparison of the results of rearing the suckling piglets, receiving different Fe preparations. The aim of the studies was determine the results of rearing the piglets which received three different preparations of iron (Fe) by injection. The sows, the progeny of which was covered with the observations, were at random assigned before parturition, to one from three experimental groups – E1, E2 and E3 (5 sows in each group). The rate of growth, feed utilization and health state of the piglets from birth until weaning (35 day of life) was controlled. The highest body weight of 5-week old piglets was recorded in group E3; the difference in relation to body weight of the piglets from group E1 and 2 was equal to 3.47% and 13.15%, respectively (p>0.05). The best equalization of body weight of 5-week old piglets was found in groups E3 and E1. The piglets from group E3 consumed the greatest quantity of fixed feed until weaning; in the mentioned group, the body weight gain in total was the highest one (8.44 kg/head). The mean daily gains of the piglets from group E3 were equal to 241 g and they were higher as compared to group E1 and E2 by 5.24% and 12.62%, respectively. Consumption of solid feed per gain of 1kg of body weight of the litter amounted in groups E1, E2 and E3 to 4.80, 3.49 and 4.65 kg, respectively. The mentioned index was low what indicates a good milk performance of the sows. All three employed preparations fulfilled their prophylactic function and prevented incidence of anaemia symptoms.
The aim of this study has been to determine the effect of a diet containing β-carotene and omega-3 fatty acids on the biochemical and nonspecific humoral immunity indicators and on the results of rearing calves to day 60 of life. The study was conducted in 2011-2012, on a herd of Polish Holstein-Friesian cows. 54 calves from the herd were divided into 3 groups, 18 animals in each: CTR, TRT1 and TRT2. During the colostral period lasting for 5 days after birth, calves were drinking the mother’s colostrum. From 6 to 60 days, calves were watered milk replacer formulation. The control group (CTR) consisted of calves after the colostral period given milk replacer formulation without any supplementation. In the two other groups, calves received milk replacers with the supplementation of b-carotene (TRT1 group) in the amount of 25 mg/calf/day or a suspension of liver omega-3 oil (TRT2 group) in the amount of 5g/calf/day. All calves received solid feed ad libitum. The research showed that the parameters of the metabolic profile of calves (ALT, ASP, CHOL, GLU, UREA, ALP, TG, CRE) were within the normal range, indicating good health of the calves. Moreover, the supplementation had a positive impact on the chosen immunological parameters, including a higher IgG concentration, especially at the end of the milk drinking period. The result of B-carotene in a diet was the highest daily gain in the period from 30 to 60 days of life among the analysed groups of calves. No such effect was achieved in the TRT2 group of calves, as their body weight was the lowest. However, noteworthy is the beneficial impact of beta-carotene and omega-3 oil on the non-specific humoral immunity parameters, which was manifested by fewer cases of clinical diarrhoea and upper respiratory tract diseases.
The changes in the milk composition and its lipid fraction during the rearing of lambs in non-milked sheep. Studies regarding the effect of lactation stage on milk content and lipid fraction composition are mostly conducted on milked animals. The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in the basic milk composition and content of fatty acids in the fat fraction during the rearing of lambs in non-milked sheep. The study was carried out on 22 ewes of Polish lowland sheep of Żelazneńska strain, which reared lambs sold at low weight classes (up to 22 kg). Milk samples were collected at 10 (period 1), 25 (period 2) and 52 (period 3) days of lactation. There were no differences in the amount of the basic components of milk in the studied periods of lactation beside the fat (P≤ 0.05) content. There were also no difference in the content of fatty acid groups in the fat fraction of ewe’s milk examined at 10, 25 and 52 day of lactation.Although,in the third period of lactation, the content of saturated fatty acids (SFA) was slightlyhigher compared to first period. In turn, the content of oleic acid (P≥0.30) and C18:3 (P≤ 0.05) was higher in the 10 day of rearing then in 52 day. A slightly larger share of essential C18 unsaturated fatty acids in ewe’s milk in early lactation may suggest the involvement of adipose tissue in the formation of milk fat.
The objective of the study was to assess the effects of rearing space on growing pig’s behavior, performance and meat quality. 120 pigs were reared to slaughter at 14 weeks in restricted or spacious conditions. The restricted conditions were defined as intensive production system (slatted floors and minimum recommended space allowances) and the spacious conditions incorporated extra space (one of the main factors in organic animal husbandry). Rearing space influenced pig behavior. Observations showed that spacious conditions reduced the time spent inactively and time spent in harmful social and aggressive behavior. Growth rates were also higher for pigs in spacious pens (p < 0.001) and this led to heavier carcass weights (n.s.). Pigs from spacious conditions also had thicker backs (n.s.). The enrichment of conditions had a small but significant effect on meat quality. Pork from pigs reared in restricted conditions had lower pH 24 post mortem (p < 0.001), was less tender, and had poorer water holding capacity than pork from pigs reared in spacious pens (n.s.).
This study analysed the rearing of Black Molly Poecilia hybrids. It is a crossbreed of sailfin molly Poecilia latipinna and short-finned molly Poecilia sphenops. Black mollies are very popular aquarium fish which are frequently put into marine aquaria to speed up the maturation of such aquaria. Without being acclimatised to high salinity, the fish are put into water with a salinity of SG 1.025 or 33 ‰. The results indicate that fish which are shorter than 20 mm die in water whose salinity is higher than SG 1.020. However, fish longer than 25 mm can adapt to higher salinity. The results indicate that fish which have been reared in water of higher salinity grow faster.
This study investigated the impact of water temperature on the growth, feed uptake, and oxygen consumption of juvenile whitefish, Coregonus lavaretus (L.), reared in a recirculating system. The fish used in the study had a mean initial weight of 7.9 ± 0.2 g and a mean body length of 8.9 ±0.1 cm. The study was conducted at water temperatures of 20, 22, and 24°C (each group in replicates of four). The best weight gain and body length growth were obtained at the water temperature of 22°C. Increasing the temperature to 24°C caused a statistically significant decrease in fish growth rate (P < 0.05). The feed conversion ratios of the fish reared at water temperatures of 20 and 22°C were close at 0.89 and 0.90, respectively, while at the temperature of 24°C this ratio was statistically significantly higher at 1.17 (P < 0.05). Temperature was not found to have a statistically significant impact on fish survival or on the amount of feed consumed. Water temperature had an impact on oxygen consumption, and the mean value of this index at a temperature of 20°C (186.6 mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹ ) was significantly statistically lower (P < 0.001) than in the water at temperatures of 22 and 24°C, at which the mean values were 349.3 and 409.9 mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹, respectively. Based on the results obtained, it was confirmed that the upper thermal threshold during the rearing of whitefish juveniles is 22°C.
