The importance of a high feed intake during lactation of primiparous sows nursing large litters.

Journal of animal science - 1 Mar 2003

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to investigate whether nursing a large number of piglets has negative effects on lactation and postweaning performance of primiparous sows and whether a greater lactation feed intake can prevent possible negative effects. Data were recorded on 268 ad libitum-fed sows of three genotypes (G1, G2, and G3) in an experiment where litter size was standardized to 8, 11, or 14 piglets...
