Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of mixing with unfamiliar piglets on changes in the body surface temperature of sows and piglets during the suckling period. A total of 123 pigs (12 sows and 111 piglets) were used for this study. A control group of piglets of the same litter was maintained in the farrowing pen and compared to a treatment group of piglets of three different litters mixed by removing the partition in the farrowing pen. In the treatment group, mixing of piglets was performed at 10:00 a.m. on day 11 after parturition, and the body surface temperature of sows and piglets was taken using a thermo-graphic camera at 30 minutes after mixing. In the case of sows, the average surface temperature of the treatment group ($37.1^{\circ}C$) was significantly higher than that of the control ($36.3^{\circ}C$; p<0.05); however, the hot spot temperatures did not differ significantly between groups. In contrast, the average surface temperature of piglets was significantly decreased by mixing (37.5 and $36.0^{\circ}C$ in the control and treatment, respectively; p<0.01). Moreover, the hot spot temperature tended to be lower in the treatment ($39.1^{\circ}C$) than the control ($39.4^{\circ}C$), although there was no significant difference (p=0.079). These results suggest that mixing of unfamiliar piglets during the suckling period leads to changes in the body surface temperature of sows and piglets. In the future, the correlation between body surface temperature and body core temperature should be analyzed, and additional studies investigating the effects of mixing on the physiological changes in sows and piglets are required.

본 연구는 포유기간 중 이복자돈과의 합사가 모돈과 자돈의 체표면 온도 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 실시하였다. 임신모돈 12두를 공시하여 6두는 개별 분만펜에 위치시켜 분만 후 이유시까지 복당 사육을 유지하였으며(대조구), 6두는 중간 칸막이의 제거가 가능한 가변형 분만펜에서 3복이 한 펜이 되도록 분만 11일차에 칸막이를 제거하여 이유시까지 유지하였다(처리구). 합사 30분 후에 열화상카메라를 이용하여 모돈 및 자돈의 체표면 온도를 측정하였다. 분만 후 포유모돈의 평균 체표면 온도는 처리구에서 $37.1^{\circ}C$로 대조구의 $36.3^{\circ}C$보다 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타났고 (p<0.05), 최고온도에서는 두 처리간 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 이와 대조적으로, 포유 자돈의 평균 체표면 온도는 포유기 합사에 의해 유의적으로 감소하였으며(대조구 37.5, 처리구 $36.0^{\circ}C$; p<0.01). 최고온도에서 또한 대조구와 처리구에서 각각 $39.4^{\circ}C$와 $39.1^{\circ}C$로 유의적인 차이는 아니지만 대조구에서 낮은 경향으로 관찰되었다(p=0.079). 결론적으로 포유기간 중에 이복자돈과의 합사에 의해 모돈의 체표면 온도는 상승되지만, 자돈의 체표면 온도는 감소하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 더 나아가 체표면 온도와 심부온도와의 상관관계를 구명하고, 합사에 의한 모돈 및 자돈의 생리적 변화에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
