Materials and methods: Weekly cohorts (n = 121) of newborn piglets were classified into PRRSV exposure groups according to PRRSV detection in PF: low (quantification cycles [Cq] ≤ 27), medium (27 < Cq ≤ 34), high (34 < Cq ≤ 37), and negative (Cq > 37). At 6 weeks of age, oral fluids (OF) were collected from a subset of 41 cohorts, tested by qRT-PCR, and results used to classify the nursery shedding status into the same aforementioned categories. Cumulative nursery mortality was recorded for all 121 cohorts and compared between the different PRRSV exposure groups. Test agreement was assessed between PF and OF results of 41 cohorts. Moreover, the effect of 4:1 OF pooling on the probability of testing qRT-PCR-positive was evaluated. Results: The nursery mortality for low Cq cohorts was 3.40 percentage points (range, 3.28-3.99) higher than other exposure groups. Overall, Cq values were higher in PF than in OF samples, and fair agreement (κ = 0.2398) between PF and OF was encountered. Compared to individual samples, 4:1 OF pooling resulted in 100% specificity and 76.92% sensitivity. Implications: Weekly PF testing for PRRSV allowed for exposure group classification for each pig batch produced, which was a good predictor of subsequent cumulative nursery mortality.","PeriodicalId":17095,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Swine Health and Production","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48549406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods: Weanlings (n = 144) were allocated to a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments (6 pens/treatment, 3 pigs/pen). Factors were size (large or small), 100 mg intramuscular iron doses (birth or birth and weaning), and dietary copper (14.2 or 250 ppm). Average daily gain (ADG), feed intake (ADFI), and gain to feed ratio were determined for 49 days. Blood was sampled at weaning and days 7 and 49. Results: Hemoglobin (P < .001) and hematocrit (P = .002) at weaning were less in large pigs. Pigs receiving two doses of iron had greater hemoglobin (P = .05) and hematocrit (P = .04). Hemoglobin (P = .03) and hematocrit (P = .03) were greater in pigs fed the control diet. In large pigs only, body weights at day 49 were greater (P = .05) for individuals receiving two doses of iron. The interaction between number of iron doses and diet affected many growth measures including ADG (P = .02) and ADFI (P = .04) for the overall trial. In all cases, performance was greater in copper-fed pigs receiving two doses of iron. Implications: At weaning, larger pigs had hematology characteristics consistent with a lower iron status. Iron treatment at weaning increased hemoglobin. Copper enhanced growth only if pigs received iron at weaning. In copper-fed pigs, hemoglobin was less, possibly indicating a negative effect on iron absorption.","PeriodicalId":17095,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Swine Health and Production","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43705869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods: Seventeen multiparous crossbred sows housed in farrowing stalls were randomly assigned to one of two heat source treatments: Baby Pig Heat Mat - Single 48 (MAT; n = 8) or Poly Heat Lamp Fixture (LAMP; n = 9). Piglets were weighed on day 1 and at weaning and any mortalities were recorded to evaluate piglet production measures. For 7 days over the course of lactation (day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, week before weaning, and day before weaning), sows and their litters were observed for 2 hours twice daily to evaluate behavior. Electric meters were attached to individual heat source units to monitor energy use. Results: Piglet production parameters were unaffected by treatment type; litter weaning weight (P = .85), litter average daily gain (P = .79), and preweaning mortality (P = .58). Piglet behavior had variation in the number of piglets using a heat source within day across treatments (P < .001). The number of piglets in contact with the sow decreased during early lactation for both treatment types and increased during late lactation with more MAT pigs tending to be in contact with the sow (P < .001). Implications: Using heat mats as supplemental heat in the farrowing house may result in decreased energy use and increased savings without hindering piglet production parameters.","PeriodicalId":17095,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Swine Health and Production","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43999755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods: Nineteen sows (PIC C29) were transported to the research center and claws were trimmed 3 times over an 8-day period. Dewclaws were trimmed even with the coronary band of the hoof on day 1. Claws were blunt trimmed on day 4 and functional trimming occurred on day 8. The gait of each sow was recorded prior to each trimming to compare the effect of the previous trimming. A final gait recording was taken on day 12. The gait data collected from the sows was compared across days to determine if any changes occurred. Results: Positive improvements in gait data were noted after dewclaw trimming. Changes were seen in velocity (P = .03), stride length (P = .02), stride duration (P = .04), stance (P = .04), and rear percent stance (P = .03). Blunt trimming offset the improvement gained by trimming dewclaws, seen in the changes to rear percent stance (P = .02) and front swing (P = .04). Functional trimming increased the improvement observed by trimming dewclaws. Changes were seen in the stance (P < .001), percent stance (P < .001), stride duration (P = .003), stride length (P = .008), and velocity (P = .003). Implications: Trimming dewclaws and functionally trimming claws improved the sow’s gait. Blunt trimming did not provide the same benefits observed by trimming dewclaws or functionally trimming the claws.","PeriodicalId":17095,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Swine Health and Production","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48531941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and methods: In this 42-day study, 1602 pigs (mean [SD] weight: 5.42 [0.9] kg) were weaned at 19 to 21 days of age. Four successive batches of weaned pigs were moved into the same nursery room. Within each batch, pigs were allotted by WW to have approximately one-third of each class (LightWW, MediumWW, and HeavyWW) in all pens. On day 7, pigs were individually weighed and designated according to their ADG7 into four classes within their batch: NegativeADG7, LowADG7, MediumADG7, and HighADG7. An equation was developed and validated to quantify the association between WW and ADG7 with ADG. Results: Weaning weight had no effect on ADG7 (P = .42), but increasing WW and ADG7 increased (P < .001) ADG and final weight at 42 days. Pig removal was reduced if pigs had heavy WW or gained weight in the first week after weaning (≤ 3.2%) compared to pigs that lost weight during the first week in the LightWW (20.9%) or MediumWW (10.3%) categories. Overall mortality was 1.1% with no effects of WW, ADG7, or its interaction (P > .54). The equation generated indicated that WW and ADG7 together had moderate accuracy (R² = 0.54; P < .001) to predict ADG. Implication: The WW and ADG7 are not correlated, but they affect and partially predict the overall nursery performance.","PeriodicalId":17095,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Swine Health and Production","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46184942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
