}High-producing Landrace-Large White crossbred gilts (n = 50) involving 198 farrowings were used to evaluate dietary gestation protein (13 vs 16% CP) and gestation feed intakes (Control vs High), and their interaction, over a five-parity period on sow reproductive performance. Gestation feed intake for Control was 1.81 kg/d during parity 1, increasing by .09 kg for each successive parity. The daily feed intake for High was greater by .13 kg or approximately 450 kcal ME at each respective parity…

Effects of feeding different dietary crude protein levels on performance of sows during pregnancy, from the first to third parturition
- 2006
Thir ty crossbred sows averaging 118.18±12.2 kg of BW, backfat thickness of 13.82±1.42 mm and 220 days old were assigned to a completely randomized design in a split plot scheme with 10 replicates…
Effects of extra feeding during mid-pregnancy on gilts productive and reproductive performance.
- Biology
- 2008
Providing an extra feed allowance during mid-gestation has beneficial effects on gilts’ body fat reserves at weaning and slight advantages on productive output, although probably not high enough to justify the extra feed wastage.

Effect of increasing lysine supply during last third of gestation on reproductive performance of Iberian sows.

Under moderate energy supply, adequate reserves for subsequent lactation can be achieved in second- and third-parity IB sows with a daily provision of at least 17.2 g lysine over the last third of pregnancy, what implies a substantial increase in protein supply respect to traditional practices.

Evaluating effects of different parities on productive performance of lactating sows fed diets containing different levels of DDGS concluded that parity influences productiveperformance of lactation sows.
Effects of dietary energy and protein levels on reproductive performance in gestating sows and growth of their progeny

There were no significant differences in blood glucose concentration in gestating sows when sows were fed different levels of energy during gestation, but blood glucose increased at 21 day of lactation when energy increased by 0.42 MJ/kg.

It is indicated that increasing dietary CP level under equal lysine content in gestation increases BW of gilts and litter performance but does not affect litter size and milk composition.

The results suggest that labile maternal body protein reserves are used by gravid and nursing dams to fulfill reproductive needs and that dietary protein sequence affects the dam's performance and body composition.

Blood samples collected on d 110 of gestation and d 14 and 26 of lactation indicated that energy intake did not influence hematocrit values, total serum protein or albumin concentrations, and there was no difference in the percentage of sows fed Md or Hi that exhibited estrus by these time periods.

Increased dietary protein between d 75 and d 105 of gestation did not benefit mammary development, but increased dietary energy was detrimental to development of mammary secretory tissue.

It is concluded that restriction of feed intake during lactation affected body condition and metabolism of primiparous sows, but reproductive performance and productivity were not affected.

It is demonstrated that dams fed a 9% protein gestation diet perform similarly to those fed higher gestation diets, if the lactation dietary protein level is adequate to meet the lactations amino acid requirements.
Reproductive performance, body weight and body condition of breeding sows with differing body fatness at parturition, differing nutrition during lactation, and differing litter size
- Biology
- 1989
Target fatness at parturition, and especially lactation food intake, but not litter size, significantly influenced the interval (days) from weaning to oestrus in parity 1, while n i subsequent parities only litter size influenced the timing of the interval fromWeaning to Oestrus.
Quantitative influence of lysine and energy intake on yield of milk components in the primiparous sow.

Lysine and ME intake had an interactive influence on yield of all milk components except lactose, demonstrating that the amount of lysine required to maximize milk production increased as ME intake increased.
Relationship between body fat and postweaning interval to estrus in primiparous sows.
- Biology, MedicineJournal of animal science
- 1989
It is concluded that timing of postweaning estrus in primiparous sows is not dependent on a minimal threshold of body fat, and effects of lactational ME intake on the post-weaning interval to estrus are more pronounced than the effects of bodyfat.
