Recent evidence suggests that different patterns of prenatal survival causing different levels of intrauterine crowding are occurring in prolific sows bearing litters with 10–15 piglets born, resulting in marked differences in average litter birth weight. Because early intrauterine crowding of embryos is known to have negative effects on prenatal development, the objective of the study was to compare...
This study aimed to examine whether growth performance, carcass and meat quality traits differed among high (H), medium (M) and low (L) birth weight (BtW) gilts and barrows born from large litters (>16 piglets born alive). Regardless of gender, H pigs grew faster (P<0.05) during the suckler period than L and M pigs. From weaning to slaughter at 113kg catch-up growth was observed in M barrows...
