The Effect of Protein Source in Late Pregnancy Feed on the Occurrence of Agalactia Post Partum in the Sow
Inverkan av ulika proteinfodermedel under sen dräktighet på agalaktiförekomsten hos sugga.
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica volume 31, pages 117–120 (1990)
Abstract
The effect of an all vegetable protein diet on the occurrence of agalactia was studied. The experiment was performed in a commercial one thousand sow unit with an average frequency of agalactia of 50%. The all vegetable diet significantly reduced the rectal temperature 48 h post partum and the number of medical treatments required. The litter size at weaning was larger (p < 0.05) in the group on the all vegetable protein diet.
Sammanfattning
Effekten av att byta animalt protein mot sojamjöl i fodret till suggor under sen dräktighet undersöktes. Försöket utfördes i en 1000 suggors besättning med en agalaktifrekvens på 50%. Rektaltemperaturen inom 48 timmar efter grisning sjönk signifikant och antalet veterinärmedicinska behandlingar minskade hos suggor som fick fodret med enbart sojamjöl som proteinkälla. Antalet grisar per kuli vid avvänjning var också större i denna grupp jämfört med gruppen som fick animalt protein i fodret.
