A preliminary investigation of serum folate concentrations in sows during pregnancy and at weaning.
The mean serum folate concentrations of Large White sows were compared between one group of 13 animals, 43-80 days pregnant and another group of 9 animals at weaning when the litters were 28-30 days old. The mean concentration was higher in sows at weaning (p<0.05) and the lowest levels were found in sows no more than 51 days pregnant (p<0.05).
