[Effect of the geographic factor and technological regimen on thyroid hormone levels in Camborough hybrid pigs]

Qualitative analyses were carried out of the thyroid hormones (T-3, T-4, and FT-4 indices) with a total of 380 pigs of the Camborough hybrid at the age of one to four months, raised at the nucleus base of a swine-breeding complex. Analyzed was the effect of the technologic regime, the geographic location of swine-breeding complexes, and the economic purpose of the animals on the quantitative changes in the indices studied. Based on the statistical analysis the reliable intervals of the physiologic values of the T-3, T-4, and FT-4 under the conditions of the individual complexes were found to be 0.52-0.82, 0.7-1.8: 0.62-1.1, 0.61-0.99, and 0.74-1.26; 5-12, 3.6-8.9, 3.16, 2.0-10.0, and 3.8-7.7 ng/100 ml; 0.60-1.3, 0.7-1.17, 0.69-1.18, 0.73-1.03, and 0.86-1.13.
