Abstract:Housing sows in groups creates the challenge of decreasing fighting amongst sows. One proposed method to do so is to feed a high tryptophan diet, but the effect on the fetus is unkown. To investigate this, 66 sows were fed 1 of 3 diets: Control (0.14 % SID tryptophan), Medium (0.28 % SID tryptophan), or High (0.4 2% SID tryptophan), from d 28 to 35 of gestation. Sows gestated in standard gestation stalls. Blood samples were taken on d 27 prior to and on d 35 after tryptophan supplementation. On d 1 and d 2, 3 … Show more
