The two principle components of sow productivity are litter\nsize and non-productive days, which is impacted by farrowing rate, between\nother productive parameters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, genetic selection in the swine\nindustry has improved sow reproductive performance but has also increased\nlitter sizes from where they were decades ago. Studies show that sows are often\nunable to provide a sufficient amount of nutrients to fetal and mammary growth\nduring gestation, as measured by piglet weights at birth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low-weight piglets are a big challenge for the\npork production industry. Generally, low-weight piglets have a higher mortality\nrate, are more susceptible to diarrhea and have weaker immune responses than\nhigher-weight piglets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-performance-trace-minerals-improve-swine-reproduction-and-gilt-retention\">Performance Trace Minerals Improve Swine Reproduction and Gilt Retention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is well known that supplementing gestation and lactation sow diets with <a href=\"\/en_na\/product\/availa-sow\/\">Availa Sow<\/a> improves sow performance. Zinc, manganese and copper play an essential role in sows\u2019 metabolic function, which leads to reductions in claw lesions, and improvements in reproductive rates and litter quality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering the metabolic roles of chromium, Zinpro conducted a study at Minas Gerais State in Brazil, supplementing gestation and lactation diets with Availa-Sow and <a href=\"\/en_na\/product\/zinpro-availa-cr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Availa<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Cr<\/a> to evaluate possible additional results for including Availa-Cr associated with Availa-Sow in sows\u2019 gestation and lactation diets. The study consisted of 291 gilts and sows on a commercial sow farm.&nbsp; Treatment diets were fed from one lactation through the next gestation and lactation period, a full reproductive cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gilts and sows were categorized by parity\n(first parity and second parity to sixth parities) and were equally spread out\nacross three diets that were formulated to contain the same level of total supplemented\ntrace minerals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Control Diet: <\/strong>50 ppm of zinc, 20 ppm of manganese and\n     10 ppm of copper as sulfates. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Availa-Sow: <\/strong>50 ppm of zinc, 20 ppm of manganese and\n     10 ppm of copper from Availa-Sow. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Availa-Sow\/Availa-Cr:<\/strong> 50 ppm of zinc, 20 ppm of manganese and\n     10 ppm of copper from Availa-Sow and 0.4 ppm of chromium from Availa-Cr.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-improved-farrowing-and-gilt-retention-rates-with-performance-trace-minerals\">Improved Farrowing and Gilt Retention Rates with Performance Trace Minerals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of the research study revealed an\n11% increase in the farrowing rate of sows fed Availa-Sow\/Availa-Cr compared to\nthe other diets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The major increase with Availa-Cr in the diet\nis likely attributed to chromium\u2019s role in enhancing the effects of insulin.\nChromium affects follicular development through the effect of insulin on the LH\nand FSH secretions, which increases ovulation rates. Utero secretory proteins,\nsuch as uteroferrin and retinol-binding proteins that promote embryo survival\nalso may be influenced by chromium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gilts supplemented with Availa-Sow\/Availa-Cr\nboasted an 81.25% gilt retention rate. This is an 18% advantage over the other\ndiets. This may be because chromium increased the gilts\u2019 ability to develop an\nimproved immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-non-productive-days-reduced-with-performance-trace-minerals\">Non-Productive Days Reduced with Performance Trace Minerals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Availa-Sow and Availa Sow\/Availa-Cr significantly reduced the number of non-productive days compared to the control diet and numerically increased the number of piglets born alive for those sows and gilts. The supplementation of Availa-Sow resulted in a 14% reduction in non-productive days compared to the control diet. When supplemented Availa-Sow\/Availa-Cr, however, a 21% reduction of non-productive days was observed compared to the control diet. The number of piglets born alive was 4% greater when the sows were fed Availa Sow compared to the control diet. But, when the Sows were fed Availa Sow\/Availa Cr diet, the number of piglets born alive was 9% greater than the control diet and still 5% greater than the diet with Availa-Sow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zinpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Availa-CR-Swine-Blog-Charts3-768x499-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14721\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-availa-sow-and-availa-cr-produce-heavier-litters-and-heavier-piglets\">Availa-Sow and Availa-Cr Produce Heavier Litters and Heavier Piglets <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Availa-Sow and Availa-Cr also significantly\nimproved the number of piglets weaned, as well as piglet farrowing weights and\nweaning weights. Although the study showed an improvement in these parameters\nwith Availa-Sow, it is clear that also including Availa-Cr leads to an even\ngreater improvement. These effects can be justified due to chromium\u2019s role in\nincreasing glucose utilization for fetuses. Sows supplemented with\nAvaila-Sow\/Availa-Cr had 12.63 piglets weaned on average, an 8% increase over\nthe control diet and a 4% increase over those supplemented with only\nAvaila-Sow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sows supplemented with Availa-Sow\/Availa-Cr\nproduced heavier litters and heavier piglets at weaning. Litters born from sows\nsupplemented with Availa-Sow\/Availa-Cr were 16% heavier on average than piglets\nborn from sows fed the control diet and 6% heavier than those supplemented with\nonly Availa-Sow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Litter weaning weights for piglets born from sows supplemented with Availa-Sow\/Availa-Cr were 12% higher than from sows supplemented with the control diet and 10% higher than those from sows supplemented with Availa-Sow alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zinpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Availa-CR-Swine-Blog-Charts2-768x499-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14725\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all piglets weighing 1.61 kg (3.55 pounds) or more at birth, 49% were from sows fed Availa-Sow\/Availa-Cr, while 34% percent were fed Availa-Sow alone and only 17% were from sows fed the control diet supplemented for inorganic sources.
