  • Comparative Study on Growing-finishing Performance and Meat Quality of Different Hybrid Combinations in Pigs

    [Objective] The aim of this study was to investigate the production performance of three pig cultivars through their fattening performance,carcass traits and meat quality for facilitating its application in practical production.[Method] Three pig cultivars were selected including Yesong (F1 hybrid of pure-bred wild boar cross with songliao black sow as female parent) hybrid pigs,D×L×Y pigs from three-way cross and L×Y pigs from two-way cross.The test pigs in early period (before 60 kg) and late period (after 60 kg) were all fed with diets of the same nutritional level by free feeding and drinking water.The pre-test period was 3 d,while the test period was 120 d.Every 30 days,pigs with an empty stomach were weighed on morning,and when fattening to 120 d,five pigs with good growth and development in each cultivar were selected for slaughter to determine carcass traits and meat quality.[Result] Under the same diets and feeding conditions,average daily gain and weight gain in the whole period of pigs from three-way cross were all significantly higher than those of pigs from two-way cross,and also extremely higher than those of Yesong pigs.There was no difference in dressed carcass percentage,backfat thickness and proportion of hind leg among three hybrid combinations.Lean meat percentage and eye muscle area of pigs from three-way cross and pigs from two-way cross were all significantly higher than those of Yesong pigs.Yesong pigs had relatively darker carnation,but marble vein (P<0.05) and water loss rate (P<0.01) of Yesong pigs were relatively fewer than those of pigs from two-way cross and pigs from three-way cross.Shear force of Yesong pigs was significantly higher than that of pigs from two-way cross and pigs from three-way cross.[Conclusion] Yesong hybrid pigs make full use of heterosis between wild pigs and Songliao black pigs for improvement of its meat quality,but some values of major economic traits in Yesong hybrid pigs is still lower than those in pigs from three-way cross and pigs from two-way cross.

  • Evaluation on Feed Factors Affecting the Dung Pollutants of Livestock and Poultry

    The 30 pairs of feed and dung samples from the livestock and poultry farms with different scales were checked and analyzed.The results showed:a great linear relation existed between the feed factors and 7 pollutants such as ammonia nitrogen,phosphorus,copper,iron,arsenic,mercury,cadmium in livestock and poultry's dung.The main affecting factors of feed were respectively nitrogen,phosphorus,copper,and arsenic,which were totally feed ingredient elements.And it indicated that the dung pollutants such as nitrogen,phosphorus,copper,iron,arsenic,mercury,and cadmium could be regulated by controlling the feed ingredients.But the dung nitrogen did not have a linear relation with the feed factors.Reducing the nitrogen in feed did not mean the relative decrease of the dung nitrogen content.Feed consumption rate of unit weight did not have notable performances,and it did not show curve model after curve fitting method.The pollutant index of ammonia nitrogen,phosphorus,copper,and arsenic of the group whose feed consumption rate of unit weight was less than 20 g/kg·d was extremely remarkably lower than those of the 20-30 g/kg·d group.The pollutant index of mercury,chromium,and cadmium showed the opposite performance.With the increase of feed consumption rate,each pollutant did not act in an increasing trend,of which the pollutant index of ammonia nitrogen and the general phosphorus presented a quadratic model trend.The feed consumption level of unit weight had an extremely remarkable effect on the pollution level rate and the early warning level rate,showing the thrice model trend,of which the 20-30 g/kg.d group was the maximal,respectively for 16.67% and 50%,which was the same with the above-mentioned law.

  • Sow Reproductive Stress and Its Syndrome

    In this paper,we put forward "Reproductive Stress" hypothesis,and the main viewpoints are as below.The special reproductive tasks such as estrus,pregnancy,childbirth and lactation themselves are stressors which cause violent stress,and this kind of stress was called reproductive stress.Fetus is also a special stressor for female.The corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and fetal glucocorticoid (GC) secreted by fetus and placenta also cause stress,and this kind of stress was named female passive stress.Fetus develops in uterus,and the stress caused by uterine tension and intrauterine environment was named fetal intrauterine stress.Humans and animals need stress mechanisms to help themselves accomplish reproductive tasks,e.g.,involvement of CRH,adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and epinephrine.Therefore,childbirth may be originally motivated by the fetal intrauterine stress.Under the conditions of not enough nutrition or heavier reproductive tasks,females have to mobilize body reservoir to assure reproducing that aggravates reproductive stress.Moreover,reproductive stress is a long lasting experience for female,which must cause changes in endocrine secretion (e.g.,constant increasing of CRH and GC).It thereby weakens the female's immune functions,causes body damages and makes them more susceptible to diseases.The main clinic symptoms include leg and foot weakness syndrome,anoestrus,subinvolution of uterus and endometritis.We summarized the causes,main clinical symptoms and pathogenesis of reproductive stress and provided applicable measures to prevent sows from reproductive stress.

  • Application of Active Dry Yeast in Pigs

    Active dry yeast is dried by a certain way or retains most of its fermentation capacity,and it does not contain any grains or animal microbial preparations of other fillers.Its main components are active yeast thallus with content ≥90% and a small amount of emulsifier.In pig production,active dry yeast can enhance animal appetite,feed intake,animal growth,hindgut fermentation,breeding environment and anti-stress capability of animals,or reduce feed coefficient,animal constipation,incidence of swine and the number of pathogens in feces to prevent piglets from diarrhea.Studies have been proved that high active dry yeast has a very good application effect on sows,piglets and growing-finishing pigs.Active dry yeast in use should be noted that it should be used up within 3-6 months after being mixed with feed,while its dosage for pigs at different stages is as follows:nursery pigs of 500-1 000 g/t complete feed;sows of 500-800 g/t complete feed;fattening pigs of 250-500 g/t complete feed.Active dry yeast is very sensitive to the hot and humid,and is also not used in granulated feed and extruded feed.
