title: [The content of ascorbic acid in tissues of swine fetuses and newborn piglets and in the blood plasma and tissue of swine of different ages with regard to the effect of the restriction of suckling time].
abstract: In 55, 75, 95 and 110 days old pig-fetuses as well as in newborn piglets the weight of different tissues and their content of ascorbic acid were analysed. The time for suckling of the piglets of 2 sows was restricted to 12 hours per day (= group A); the piglets of 2 sows were used as a control (= group B). The restriction of the milk intake did not influence the content of the blood plasma and of the tissues in ascorbic acid. After weaning the pigs of group A had a compensatory growth and on the 214th day after birth the same slaughter mass as that of the group B. There was no difference in the content of ascorbic acid of the tissues of the 2 groups of pigs. The significance of changes in the content of ascorbic acid in the tissues during the fetal and the postnatal growth is described.
