Optimal pig production (literature 1) Table A. relationship between weight at birth and weaning and performance <0,9 0,9 - 1,2 1,2 - 1,4 1,4 - 1,6 Weight at birth (kg)

R41 Wageningen University

Relation between birth and weaning weight of piglets and performance production results and mortality during the suckling, weaning and finishing period.

Part of the Summary For the weight at weaning the following conclusions apply: •

• Animals with a lower weight at weaning mostly have a lower weight at birth and a lower growth rate in the suckling period. Also in the raising and fattening periods they grow more slowly.

•

• Animals with a lower weight at weaning have, with a similar or slightly lower end weight, rather similar meat percentages, muscle and fat layers. Classification is at a similar (experimental farm A) to less favorable level (experimental farm B) for animals with a lower weight at weaning.

•

• With a weight at weaning of less than 6 kg there is a greater chance of mortality.

Where/when does the optimal pig(let) production start?

When the piglets are born?

When are they drinking their first milk? Colostrum?

When are they growing in the sow during pregnancy?

When their eggs in the uterus are made (in the previous litter time if it is a sow)?

Can it be influenced?

Is feeding important (lactating sows)?

Picture right Early steps of folliculogenesis.

For instance, it has been shown that the proportion of 0.4-1.0mm healthy follicles to the total number of antral follicles is increased whereas the proportion of 1.0-2.9 mm healthy follicles is decreased in feedrestricted lactation sows.
