ABSTRACT
The aim of the study was to assess the quality of colostrum and
milk with reproductive performance in sows offered different feed allowances
from day 41 to 70 of gestation. In the study 20 F1 sows (Polish Landrace x Polish
Large White), 10 animals per group: Control and Experimental, were used. During
mid-pregnancy period, sows received 2.3 kg (Control) and 3.0 kg (Experimental)
of feed daily. Samples of colostrum (farrowing day) and milk (day 21 of lactation)
were collected and its chemical composition, fatty acid profile, and somatic cell
count (SCC) were determined. Piglets were counted and weighed at parturition
and at day 21 of life. Colostrum collected from sows from Experimental group
contained more fat (P < 0.05) than that from Control group. Tendency to higher
protein content in milk was observed in the Experimental group. SCC in the
colostrum and milk of sows from Experimental group was higher than that in
Control group (P < 0.01 and P < 0.05, respectively). The higher proportion
of PUFA n6 in milk was noted in milk from Experimental group (P < 0.01).
There were no significant differences between groups regarding reproductive
performance; however body weight of piglets at 21 day of age and piglet daily
body weight gain in Experimental group tended to be higher than that in Control.
Therefore, it seems appropriate to increase the feed allowances for sows to
3 kg feed/day from days 41 to 70 of pregnancy in order to gain more beneficial
chemical composition and fatty acid profile of colostrum and milk. Moreover, the
tendency to improve piglet growth performance can be observed.
