A higher Ca-P intake during finishing, gestation and lactation periods increased (P < 0.05) the apparent absorption (g/day) of Ca and P during all three periods. Nutrient absorption appeared to differ for Lacombe and Yorkshire gilts. Key words: Calcium, phosphorus, nitrogen, absorption, gilts

Twenty-seven Landrace × Yorkshire gilts were used in three trials to determine the influence of feeding more Ca-P from breeding through gestation on changes in apparent absorption and retention of energy, nitrogen, Ca, P, Mg, K, Mn, Cu and Zn, at the 5th, 8th, 11th, 13th and 15th wk of gestation. The gilts were housed during gestation in individual sow metabolism stalls equipped for separate collection of feces and urine. In trial 1, feeding more Ca-P (26.2–23.8 vs. 21.2–15.4 g d−1) during gestation reduced (P < 0.05) the percent absorption and retention of Ca, Mg, Zn and Cu at certain stages of gestation but the overall differences between the two diets were not significant. In trial 2 feeding more Ca-P (26.8–15.8 vs. 20.4–10.4 g d−1) also reduced the percent absorption and retention of Ca, Mg, Zn and Cu at certain stages of gestation and the overall differences between the two diets were not significant. In trial 3, feeding more Ca-P (23.6–18.2 vs. 17.8–12.4 g d−1) reduced the percent absorption and retention of energy, Ca, P, Mg, K, Zn, Mn and Cu at several stages of gestation and the overall differences between the two diets were significant for these nutrients. The percent absorption and retention of Ca, P and Mn progressively increased while that of nitrogen, K and Zn decreased with the advancement of gestation. The mineral levels of femurs and metacarpals of gilts and their piglets at birth were similar for both diets. The results indicated that feeding more Ca-P during gestation had minimal influence on amount of energy, nitrogen Ca and K absorption and retention but it increased the amount of P absorption and retention; however, the reduction of Zn, Mn and Cu absorption may cause deficiencies with inadequately supplemented diets.

The effect of feeding barley-wheat-soya finisher, gestation and lactation diets containing (A) 1979 National Research Council (NRC) recommended calcium-phosphorus (Ca-P) levels or (B) 150% of NRC levels from 65 kg body weight (Bwt) on growth and reproduction was studied in two experiments using Lacombe (L) and Yorkshire (Y) gilts. The number of gilts used were 299 (148 L + 151 Y) and 107 (53 Y + 54 Y) in exp. 1 and 216 (106 L + 110 Y) and 101 (49 L + 52 Y) in exp. 2 during finishing and gestation-lactation periods, respectively. The reproductive performance during second parity was measured only in exp. 2 using 85 (36 L + 49 Y) primiparous sows. All pigs were housed in confinement except during breeding and gestation, when they were housed in outside dirt-lot pens. Average daily gain, feed intake, and feed conversion were similar for gilts fed finisher diets A or B in both experiments. In exp. 1, both L and Y gilts fed gestation diet B had more (P < 0.05) total (9.5 ± 0.3 vs. 8.6 ± 0.3) and live pigs (9.2 ± 0.3 vs. 8.2 ± 0.3) born and weaned (7.7 ± 0.3 vs 6.9 ± 0.2) with lower piglet weight gains at 3 wk (3.5 ± 0.1 vs. 3.9 ± 0.1 kg) and 5 wk (6.9 ± 0.2 vs. 7.5 ± 0.2 kg) when compared to gestation diet A group. These differences were not significant in exp. 2. Higher dietary Ca-P levels elevated the serum P during both gestation (7.3 ± 0.1 vs. 7.0 ± 0.1 mg/dL) and lactation (6.2 ± 0.1 vs. 5.9 ± 0.1 mg/dL) periods in exp. 1 but not in exp. 2. The changes in body weight during gestation and lactation, piglet birth weights, and weaning to estrus interval were similar for both treatment groups. These results indicated that the 1979 NRC recommended dietary Ca-P levels may be adequate to support the maximum growth and reproduction in gilts during finishing and lactation but are too low for gestation.

The influence of supplementing pig diets with 0, 5 or 10% fat, increasing dietary calcium and available phosphorus levels from 0.8 to 1.2% and from 0.53 to 0.8%, respectively, was investigated with 3-wk-old weaner pigs for a period of 6 wk. Average daily gain (P < 0.05) and feed intake (P < 0.01) were reduced with dietary fat supplementation. However, 10% supplemental fat in the diet caused an improvement (P < 0.05) in feed:gain ratio. Dietary calcium and phosphorus levels had no significant effect on daily weight gain, feed intake or feed:gain ratio. There was no significant effect of dietary fat or calcium and phosphorus treatment on digestibility of calcium, phosphorus or magnesium. There was also no significant difference in the pH of stomach and duodenal contents due to the dietary treatments. The rectal contents of pigs fed supplemental fat was found to be more acidic than those from the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant effect of dietary fat, calcium and phosphorus treatments on bone or serum calcium, phosphorus or magnesium content. It is concluded that weaner pigs will tolerate high levels of fat without any detrimental effect on mineral digestibility and subsequent bone mineralization.

Background: Calving to conception interval is abnormally extended by the occurrence of retained fetal membranes (RFM) by altering the blood biochemical and mineral milieu in cows. Hence this experiment was conducted in RFM affected and normally calved (NC) buffaloes by inducing estrus with CIDR plus PGF2α protocol to study the blood biochemical and mineral profiles and to correlate them with fertility rate. Methods: Buffaloes (n=64) at 45-60 days postpartum including 32 treated for RFM and 32 NC from field were equally divided into groups I and II and groups III and IV, respectively. Buffaloes of groups I and III were initially dewormed and administered 35-50 g mineral mixture daily orally for 15 days in the concentrate feed. Then, buffaloes of all the groups were treated with CIDR plus PGF2α. After CIDR removal, all the buffaloes were artificially inseminated twice at 48 and 72 hrs. Blood was collected during different stages of treatment from all the buffaloes to assess the blood biochemical and mineral status. The animals returned to estrus following FTAI were again inseminated during subsequent estrus. Pregnancy diagnosis was done at 60 days post-AI and conception rates for induced estrus and overall of two cycles were calculated.Result: In all the groups, blood glucose, total protein, triglycerides, cholesterol and phosphorus levels increased from the time of selection to 10 days post-AI. There was an altered calcium phosphorus ratio in RFM affected buffaloes (1:1) at the time of selection. CIDR plus PGF2α protocol influenced the blood biochemical constituents and brought the calcium and phosphorus ratio as 2:1 and improved the fertility in riverine buffaloes. The overall conception rate was 62.50, 37.50, 87.50 and 75.00 per cent, in group I, II, III and IV buffaloes, respectively.
