Modulation of the nutritional, metabolome and microRNA profile of colostrum and piglet performance via a high-energy, high-lysine transition diet in sows.
This study aims to verify the efficacy of a diet designed to improve the coverage of the energy and Lys requirements of the sow during the transition period, compared to a standard diet, on the composition and qualitative characteristics of colostrum, on the number of piglets born alive or poorly viable, and on productive performance in terms of survival and litter growth until weaning.
