The live-weight changes of 48 sows were recorded over three reproductive cycles. All sows were given standard amounts of feed in gestation and one of four energy allowances during lactation. The daily intakes of digestible energy during lactation ranged from 12-2 to 18-2 Meal in the first, 12-9 to 19-6 Meal in the second and 13-2 to 20-2 Meal in the third lactation. Weight change in lactation responded to energy intake; sows on the lowest energy intake lost weight whilst those on the highest intake gained. At weaning of their third litters, sows on the highest energy allowance weighed 44 kg more than those on the lowest level and this was equivalent to a carcass difference of 37-3 kg at slaughter. All the sows were slaughtered after the third litters had been weaned and the carcasses were dissected into lean, subcutaneous fat+skin, and bone. Sows from all treatments had less subcutaneous fat+ skin and more muscle and bone than non-pregnant gilts killed at a mean weight of 129 kg, a weight equivalent to that of the experimental animals at their first mating. The reduction in fat reserves was linearly correlated with dietary energy intake of the sows. Sows receiving the lowest energy intake in lactation possessed fat reserves which were estimated to be only 25% as great as in gilts comparable to those used to initiate the experiment. This reduction in body reserves has implications with regard to the long-term effects of feeding lactating sows low intakes of energy during 6-week lactations.

“…An evident drop was found in dry matter concentration and pH of ileum digesta. The pentosanes and betaglucans contained in rye disturbe the water metabolism in intestines, accelerate the passage of digesta through the digestive tract and impede the absorption of nutrients and minerals (Annison and Choct, 1991;Grammer et al, 1983;Wassink et al, 1989;Zivkovic and Bowland, 1970). The serum of geese fed ground rye contained somewhat less calcium and sodium than that of birds in the remaining groups.…”

Two experiments were conduced in which White Italian geese were fed diets containing large proportions of ground cereals: maize, oats, barley or rye; dried grass, dried sugar beet pulp, field bean or pea as well as low-glucosinolate rapeseed oilmeal, from var. Jantar. The highest body weight gains Were obtained when ground oats and rapeseed oilmeal were included in the diet, the lowest, when dried beet pulp and rye were given. Favourable growth parameters go together with higher dry matter content and pH of intestinal digesta. A diet of high proportion of oats and beet pulp lowered the serum cholesterol level in the geese, a diet with high proportion of rapeseed oilmeal lowered the level of inorganic phosphorus and potassium in blood serum of geese.
