Effect of high temperatures on lactating sows. [Seminar paper]

1994

Giles, L.R. (New South Wales Agriculture, Wollongbar (Australia)) | Lorschy, M.L. (Sydney Univ., Camden (Australia))

Discusses experiments undertaken to assess the physiological responses of lactating sows to different ambient temperatures. Higher temperatures affect the voluntary food intake of sows, leading to weight loss and an increase in the weaning to re-mating interval, and also affect sow milk production and/or piglet milk intake affecting piglet weight at weaning. The mechanisms for these responses to heat are the subject of the experiments.
