Mortalidade Embrionária E Fetal Em Suínos: Uma Revisão

In swine breeding stock, the calving order has a direct correlation with the performance of the litter, both at birth and at weaning. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of the number of reproductive cycles of swine females on their zootechnical indexes. Forty healthy swine females from an industrial cross (Landrace X Large White) were used, distributed in five treatments, eight females per treatment, submitted to the same type of diet and water ad libitum. Being carried out the management of confirmation of pregnancies or return to heat and transfer to maternity After calving, productive indexes of females and piglets were evaluated. The data obtained were analyzed through analysis of variance, and comparison of means by the Tukey test (p <5%). In alternative cases, the chi-square test was performed. There was an increase in the number of piglets born total and live births up to the third cycle, followed by a drop in the fourth and fifth cycle. There was no difference between treatments in relation to piglet weight at birth, weaning and mummified rate. However, there was a relationship between the number of births, the rate of stillbirths, deaths from crushing and repetition of heat, showing a reduction in such rates due to the advancing age of the mothers. Thus, the results demonstrated that the total number of piglets born and live births increases while losses due to stillbirth, crushing and repetition of heat tend to decrease with advancing age of the females, with greater reproductive efficiency achieved between the third and fourth cycle.

The aim of this study was to verify the impact of adding vinasse as an acidifier in sows diet during the lactating period and its effect on litter. A total of 14 agroceres females were used from the first day of lactation until weaning. The vinasse was obtained in a mill near the experimental facility and was stored in sterilized barrels. Animals were distributed in a completely randomized experimental design into two treatments: control liquid diet and liquid diet with the inclusion of vinasse in each feed supply of the day. The diets were supplied four times a day, containing a mixture of ½ L of vinasse and ½ L of water. Feed leftovers were weighted daily. Feed intake was used to evaluate sows’ performance. The piglets were weighted every week after birth until weaning in order to obtain weight gain. Vinasse inclusion showed an increase (p < 0.05) in feed intake of lactating sows, improving diet palatability. Inclusion of acidifier in the diet did not show (p > 0.05) difference in weight gain of piglets. Vinasse consumption by sows did not influence litter performance. The inclusion of vinasse in the diet of lactating sows is beneficial because increases feed consumption.
