    Summary

    Supplementation with protein hydrolysate and glucose reduced hypotrophic piglet births by half. This improved piglet vitality and reduced disease incidence in swine breeding.

    Area of Science:

    • Animal Science
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Reproductive Biology

    Background:

    • Hypotrophic piglets, born with significantly lower live weight and vitality, pose a substantial challenge in swine breeding operations.
    • These piglets often succumb to mortality within 40 hours, impacting herd productivity and economic returns.
    • The incidence of hypotrophic piglets is reported at 7% in reproductive bases and 10% in commercial swine breeding complexes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the efficacy of protein hydrolysate and glucose supplementation in reducing the incidence of hypotrophic piglets.
    • To evaluate the impact of this treatment on piglet vitality, live weight, and susceptibility to diseases.
    • To explore the underlying biological mechanisms, particularly the role of essential amino acids, in preventing hypotrophy.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving 402 pregnant pigs treated with protein hydrolysate and glucose injections, alongside vitamin-mineral feed additives.
    • A control group of 395 pregnant pigs received no such treatment.
    • Comparative analysis of hypotrophic piglet rates, live weights, vitality, and disease incidence between the treated and control groups.

    Main Results:

    • A two-fold decrease in the birth of hypotrophic piglets was observed in the treated group compared to the control.
    • Treated piglets exhibited higher live weight and improved vitality.
    • The incidence of coli bacteriosis and other diseases was significantly lower in the piglets from the treated group.

    Conclusions:

    • Supplementation with protein hydrolysate and glucose is an effective method for preventing piglet hypotrophy in hybrid industrial swine breeding.
    • The beneficial effects are likely linked to the provision of essential amino acids, crucial for fetal development.
    • This model scheme offers a practical and economically viable solution for improving swine production outcomes.
