Treatment ID:TR001306
Treatment Summary:Three to four gilts were selected per litter from eight different sows which were monitored during parturition. Immediately after delivery, all gilts were towel-dried, weighed, and placed in a holding cart until at least three gilts above 1.3 kg were delivered. Within litter, each gilt was randomly assigned to one of four treatment groups and ear tagged for identification. The four treatment groups were: suckled (S; n=8); suckled plus fat-supplement (SF; n=5); bottle-fed with milk-replacer (B; n=8), and; bottle-fed milk replacer plus fat-supplement (BF; n=7). Body weights were recorded at birth and 48 h. All gilts were administered a 2 ml dose of Camas experimental antibody product (Camas Incorporated; Le Center, MN) using Pump Itâ„¢ Automatic Delivery System (Genesis Industries, Inc.) at birth, and at 3 h and 9 h after the first dose.
