Because today’s sows are leaner and pro duce larger litters than they did a decade ago, dietary adjustments may be necessary for them to produce enough milk for their piglets, accord ing to lowa State Uni verity researchers. “All the data we have is based on sows that are different from today’s sows,” said Tom Saub er, a research assistant at ISU. ‘Today’s sows arc leaner and produce lar ger litters.” Sauber and ISU swine nutritionist Tim Stahly compared the nutritional needs of two types of sows high lean growth sows and low lean growth sows. The researchers found that when low levels of the amino acid Ik lysine were provided in the diet, it limited the production of milk. As dietary lysine levels increased, milk produc tion also increased, but the amount of increase was less apparent in the lean sows. ‘The genetically lean sows don’t have that extra layer of backfat to draw energy from, so the amount of energy provided daily feed allowance is parti cularly critical for these sows,” Stahley said. “We know that it’s the genetic makeup of the sow that determines the animal’s maximum milk-producing capaci ty, but environmental factors such as the nutri ents she receives that determines what prop ortion of the sow’s milk production capacity actually is expressed,” Sauber said. The amount of milk pro duced daily by the two sow types was similar when their daily supply of nutrients from feed and the mobilized body stores were equal, he noted. Sauber presented the results of the study to researchers, students and extension special ists gathered in Rapid City for the national meeting of the Amer cian Society of Animal Science, July 23-26. Nearly 2,000 people attended the meeting.
