Dynamics of energy and protein metabolism in the reproducing sow
Abstract
dc:descriptionAn experiment was conducted to determine whether inadequate energy intake during lactation will affect the repletion of maternal energy and protein stores after weaning. Sows with inadequate energy intakes during lactation exhibited greater weight loss, lower P$\sb2$ backfat depth and leaf fat weight at the end of a 28 d lactation. In the subsequent 35 d postweaning period, the low-energy fed sows retained only 51.9% of the nitrogen retained by those sows fed the high-energy ration during lactation. Thus, inadequate energy intake during lactation reduces the repletion of maternal protein stores postweaning.
