  • 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days
  • 28 days
  • 7 days
  • 10-14
  • 10%
  • 3%

Question 7

Question
Boar Reproduction Effect on [blank_start]oestrus[blank_end] in sows and gilts Services per week = [blank_start]2-3[blank_end] Natural mating = [blank_start]1 Boar to 15-20 Sows[blank_end] Artificial Insemination = [blank_start]1 Boar to 45-60 Sows[blank_end]
Answer
  • oestrus
  • 2-3
  • 1 Boar to 15-20 Sows
  • 1 Boar to 45-60 Sows

Question 8

Question
Farrowing Systems Domestic Sows produce [blank_start]large[blank_end] litters System Achievements: Decrease [blank_start]pre-weaning mortality[blank_end] High [blank_start]levels of hygiene to prevent disease[blank_end] Easier [blank_start]piglet management[blank_end] Separation of [blank_start]Sows during lactation[blank_end] Safe and easy [blank_start]access by staff[blank_end] Cant be in crate... [blank_start]>5 days[blank_end] before farrowing [blank_start]>4 weeks[blank_end] for lactation [blank_start]Without material that can be manipulated[blank_end]
Answer
  • large
  • pre-weaning mortality
  • levels of hygiene to prevent disease
  • piglet management
  • Sows during lactation
  • access by staff
  • >5 days
  • >4 weeks
  • Without material that can be manipulated

Question 9

Question
Mortality Adaption Problem: Piglets transitioned from a [blank_start]protected, controlled, intra-uterine[blank_end] environment to [blank_start]unpredictable external environment[blank_end] Approx. [blank_start]70%[blank_end] of mortality occurs in the first [blank_start]3 days[blank_end] - [blank_start]Asphyxiation at birth[blank_end] - must overcome [blank_start]respiratory, immunological, digestive,[blank_end] [blank_start]nutritional and thermoregulatory[blank_end] challenges [blank_start]12%[blank_end] mortality indoor with crates - [blank_start]18%[blank_end] outdoors Main causes: - [blank_start]stillbirth/poor viability[blank_end] - [blank_start]starvation[blank_end] - [blank_start]accidental crushing[blank_end] Piglet deficiencies - low [blank_start]energy reserves[blank_end] - immature [blank_start]immune system[blank_end] - limited [blank_start]ability to conserve heat[blank_end]
Answer
  • protected, controlled, intra-uterine
  • unpredictable external environment
  • 70%
  • 3 days
  • Asphyxiation at birth
  • respiratory, immunological, digestive,
  • nutritional and thermoregulatory
  • 12%
  • 18%
  • stillbirth/poor viability
  • starvation
  • accidental crushing
  • energy reserves
  • immune system
  • ability to conserve heat

Question 10

Question
High and Low Viability Survival Characteristics High: - [blank_start]heavier @ birth >1kg[blank_end] - born [blank_start]earlier in litter[blank_end] - higher [blank_start]rectal temp 1hr post birth[blank_end] - more frequently [blank_start]attempting to stand and walk[blank_end] - rapidly [blank_start]find udder and suckle colostrum[blank_end] Low: - [blank_start]low birth weight <1kg[blank_end] - born [blank_start]later in litter[blank_end] - longer [blank_start]birth interval bt/w piglets[blank_end] - born [blank_start]weak[blank_end] - take [blank_start]longer to make udder contact[blank_end] - born with [blank_start]a damaged/ruptured umbilical cord[blank_end]
Answer
  • heavier @ birth >1kg
  • earlier in litter
  • low birth weight <1kg
  • later in litter
  • birth interval bt/w piglets
  • rectal temp 1hr post birth
  • weak
  • longer to make udder contact
  • a damaged/ruptured umbilical cord
  • attempting to stand and walk
  • find udder and suckle colostrum

Question 11

Question
Piglet Husbandry Procedures 1. Teeth [blank_start]Reduction[blank_end] - clipping or grinding [blank_start]@ <5 days old[blank_end] - removes [blank_start]sharp points on needle teeth[blank_end] - prevents [blank_start]facial injuries to litter mates[blank_end] and [blank_start]damage to teat and udder[blank_end] 2. Tail [blank_start]Docking[blank_end] - prevent [blank_start]tail biting (Vice)[blank_end] - must be [blank_start]performed by vet if 7+ days old[blank_end] 3. Fostering & Equalising [blank_start]litter size[blank_end] - adjust [blank_start]# piglets suckling[blank_end] to [blank_start]functional teat number[blank_end] - group [blank_start]even sized piglets together[blank_end]
Answer
  • @ <5 days old
  • sharp points on needle teeth
  • facial injuries to litter mates
  • damage to teat and udder
  • tail biting (Vice)
  • performed by vet if 7+ days old
  • # piglets suckling
  • functional teat number
  • even sized piglets together
  • Reduction
  • Docking
  • litter size
