Effect of L-Glutamine in Late Gestation Sow Diets on Survivability and Growth of Piglets
12 Pages
Author(s): Dr Rebecca Athorn
Reducing pre-weaning mortality in the Australian pig industry would not only have economic benefits for pig producers but also social and animal welfare benefits. Increased sow prolificacy over recent years has led to an increase in pre-weaning mortality not only in Australia but across the world.
This study aimed to determine whether L-Glutamine in late gestation sow diets improves piglet pre-weaning survival and growth and recomends that L-Glutamine not be included in gestations diets of sows in Australia.
