“…This relative ratio between piglet and sow plasma levels at weaning is in line with findings in the feeding study of Håkansson et al [2]. The plasma vit E level at day -1 was highly variable, both in sows and in their piglets (Fig.…”

Background: The status of α-tocopherol (vit E) and selenium (Se) has been shown to influence disease resistance in pigs, and may be important for the health of weanling pigs.Methods: Plasma levels of both vit E and Se were followed in weanling pigs under field conditions in six Norwegian pig herds. Plasma vit E and Se were measured in 3 sows from each herd and 4 piglets in the litter of each sow at the day before weaning (day -1); and in the same piglets at days 4, 8 and 18 after weaning.Results: Mean plasma vit E was 4.0 µg/ml in the sows and 2.6 µg/ml in the piglets at day -1, fell to 1.6 µg/ml in the weanling pigs at day 4, and remained low. Mean plasma Se was 0.22 µg/g in the sows and 0.08 µg/g in the piglets at day -1, rose to 0.10 µg/g in the weanlings at day 4, and continued rising. Conclusion:The results suggest that vit E and Se supplementation to piglets and weanling pigs in Norway may still be suboptimal, but that levels of the two nutrients partially compensate for each other in the weaning period.

“…Although the farrowings described in the present study were not attended and most piglets would have suckled before the Day 0 blood samples were obtained, piglet plasma retinol concentrations reported in the present study are very similar to those described by Hakansson et al (2001). Both chylomicrons and holo retinol binding proteins are involved in the transfer of vitamin A to milk.…”

“…By measuring plasma retinol concentrations before and after suckling Hakansson et al (2001) established that piglets are born with low levels of retinol and that colostral transfer is a major means of retinol transfer to the young piglet. Although the farrowings described in the present study were not attended and most piglets would have suckled before the Day 0 blood samples were obtained, piglet plasma retinol concentrations reported in the present study are very similar to those described by Hakansson et al (2001).…”

“…Stres oksydacyjny może mieć negatywny wpływ na wskaźniki produkcyjne wysoko wydajnych loch (4), stąd zaopatrzenie loch w witaminę E i Se sprzyja lepszej ich plenności (8). Zastosowanie organicznych form selenu w żywieniu loch wpływa na zwiększenie liczby uzyskiwanych prosiąt i zmniejszenie liczby martwych prosiąt (17).…”

“…Prosięta są narażone na stres oksydacyjny głównie po urodzeniu (ze względu na niewystarczająco działający system antyoksydacyjny organizmu) oraz w okresie odłączenia (z uwagi na zmianę diety oraz pomieszczenia, gdzie zwierzęta narażone są na działanie "nowych" patogenów) (5). Prosięta urodzone przez lochy, które w diecie otrzymywały Se w formie organicznej, wykazywały wyższy jego poziom we krwi (8,12).…”

The study was conducted on sows (hybrids of wbp × pbz breeds) and their offspring (until day 75 of life) kept on a farm. The aim of the experiment was to compare the effects of different sources of selenium (Se) on the production performance of the animals, Se content in their blood, the level of Se in sow’s colostrum, as well as Gpx, haptoglobin and immunoglobulin levels in the serum of sows and their offspring. Experimental feed mixtures for pregnant sows (LP), lactating sows (LK) and piglets (prestarter and starter) in each treatment had an identical basic composition, differing only in the type of selenium forms. Group I received a mineral form of Se in an amount of 0.2 mg/kg; group II received a mixture of a Se amino acid chelate and the mineral form of Se (0.1 mg/kg of each); group III received a Se amino acid chelate (0.2 mg/kg), and group IV received Se-enriched yeasts (0.2 mg/kg). Beneficial effects of the organic forms of Se were evident already in the lactation period. Sows, especially those from group II receiving 0.2 mg/kg of organic Se, had a higher feed intake, which was related to a higher milk production during lactation. As a result, on the weaning day, piglets from this group were significantly heavier than the other piglets. After weaning, as well, the piglets in this group were significantly heavier. These results were confirmed by parameters of blood serum and whey colostrum. Selenium as a chelate was more available than the mineral and enriched yeast forms. For this reason, the animals receiving the chelate were healthier (fewer inflammations were noted). The animals in this group also showed a better feed conversion compared with the others. The Gpx level in sows’ serum varied depending on the treatment. The highest level of this parameter was determined in sows from group III (receiving 0.2 mg/kg of organic Se), and it differed significantly from its value in the control group. The results showed that the Gpx level was related to the Se concentration in blood serum, which was also confirmed by a higher production of selenocysteine (a part of Gpx). Cells of the animals from this group were better protected against free radicals. Administration of 0.1 mg/kg of organic Se positively affects the performance of animals, but the recommended level in feed is 0.2 mg/kg of a selenium-containing amino acid....
