Piglet Growth

Responses in sow traits at farrowing and during lactation and in pre-weaning piglet growth rate were determined in a population of Large White pigs, after seven generations of divergent selection for components of efficient lean growth rate. Information on the factors influencing preweaning piglet growth rate is required for a comprehensive evaluation of alternative selection strategies.There were four selection groups: daily food intake (DFI), lean food conversion (LFC), lean growth rate (LGA) on ad-libitum feeding and lean growth rate on scale feeding (LGS). There were 242 gilts in the study, with 20 gilts in the high, low and control lines of each selection group. Pigs in the ad-libitum selection groups were performance tested over a fixed weight range of 30 to 85 kg. Pigs fed on scale feeding were performance tested for a fixed time period of 84 days from 30 kg with food intake equal to 0.75 g/g of daily ad-libitum food intake. Matings were unsupervised and took place in outside paddocks.

SummaryIndividual organ development must be temporally coordinated with development of the rest of the organism. As a result, cell division in a developing organ occurs on a relatively fixed time scale. Despite this, many developing organs can regenerate cells lost to injury. How organs regenerate within the time constraints of organism development remains unclear. Here, we show the developing Drosophila hindgut regenerates by accelerating the mitotic cell cycle. This process requires JAK/STAT signaling and is achieved by decreasing G1 length during the normal period of developmental mitoses. Mitotic capacity is then terminated by the steroid hormone ecdysone receptor. This receptor activates a hindgut-specific enhancer of fizzy-related, a negative regulator of mitotic cyclins. We further identify the Sox transcription factor Dichaete as an important negative regulator of injury-induced mitotic cycles. Our findings reveal how mitotic cell cycle entry mechanisms can be adapted to accomplish developmental organ regeneration.
