경기도 이천에 위치하고 있는 모든 250두의 도암농장은 2003년 2~3월 사이 pmws로 40~45일령 구간의 자돈 300여 마리가 폐사했다. 도암농장을 경영하고 있는 이명규 사장은 전문가의 도움을 받아 모돈 및 자돈의 백신관리와 사육환경의 변화로 이를 극복했고 지금까지 PSY(piglet per sow per year)26.1두,MSY(Market per sow per year)25.6두의 성적을 내고 있다. 이는 모돈1두당 연간 이유 후 출하까지 폐사가 0.5두이며, 현재 전국MSY가 15~16두임을 감안한다면 도암농장의 성적은 기적 같다고 말할 수 있다. 또한, 전국적으로 PED가 극성을 부릴 때, 이 질병에 대한 피해를 거의 보지 않은 도암농장의 경험과 사양관리방법을 이번 월간양돈에 소개하고자 한다.

The process of weaning, no matter how carefully managed, results in changes in the gut of the pig that make it more susceptible to digestive upset, diarrhea and impaired appetite. The objective in developing feeding programs is to recognize these unique needs and facilitate a smooth transition to a dry feed. How well this is accomplished, has a significant impact on future performance. This paper provides a review of recent research on the nutrients required by early weaned pigs and examines what feedstuffs are available to provide those nutrients in a form that can be best utilized by the early weaned piglet.

Thirty-day-old piglets were intranasally or subcutaneously inoculated with 2ml of Aujeszky's disease virus, NYJ-1 strain, at the titer of $10^{6.75}$ $TCID_{50}/0.1ml$, that was isolated from the diseased piglets in Korea, and histopathological studies were performed to elucidate the pathognomonic characters of the isolate. Results obtained through the experiments were as follows: 1. Major clinical signs on the 2nd and 3rd days post inoculation (p.i.) were fever, anorexia and dyspnea. On the 6th and 7th days p.i., nervous signs, severe dyspnea and salivation were observed in the group of intranasal inoculation, and one out of 3 piglets in this group died on the 7th day p.i.. General signs were more severe in the group of intranasal inoculation than the group of subcntaneous injection. Between the 8th and l0th days p.i., the signs subsided and the piglets were completely recovered from the illness. 2. Hematologically, most of the inoculated pigs showed a mild lymphocytopenia on the 5th and 6th days p.i.. 3. By necropsy, swelling and hemorrhagic lesions were observed in tonsil, central nervous system and lung. No specific changes were grossly found in other parenchymatous organs. 4. In histopathological study, degeneration and necrosis of nervous cells, non-suppurative meningoencephalitis, diffuse or focal gliosis, perivascular cutting and degeneration of ganglion cells were observed in central nervous system, and swelling and hemorrhagic changes were shown in the tissues of liver, lung and lymph nodes. 5. By indirect immunofluorescence antibody assay using ADV-monoclonal antibody, specific ADV antigens were detected in the tissues of tonsil, brain and spleen of the succumbed piglet. However, in the experimentally slaughtered piglets, the specific reactions were noted only in the tonsils.

One growth trial and one digestibility trial were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of HP300, a commercially processed soybean meal product for weanling pigs. Dried whey, fish meal and/or full fat extruded soybeans (FFES) as well as portions of soybean meal (SBM) were replaced with HP300 in weanling pig diets. The objectives were to investigate the effects of HP300 on growth performance, digestibility, ileal amino acid digestibility and blood amino acid concentration in weanling pigs. One hundred and twenty crossbred $(Duroc{\times}Beijing\;Black{\times}Landrace)$ pigs weaned at 28 days of age were used in the growth trial. The pigs were randomly allocated to five treatments, with three pens per treatment and eight pigs per pen. The trial duration was 28 days. The control (CTRL) diet contained no HP300; in treatments 2, 3 and 4, dried whey and fish meal were replaced by 3.0%, 7.5% and 10.5% HP300; in treatment 5, full fat extruded soybeans were replaced by 10.5% HP300 plus soybean oil to attain the same metabolic energy content as FFES. Five T-cannulated barrows were used in a digestibility trial with a $5{\times}5$ Latin square design to determine nitrogen retention and amino acid ileal digestibility of HP300 used alone or mixed with other ingredients. The results indicated that replacement of dried whey, fish meal, full fat extruded soybeans and a part of the soybean meal with HP300 in piglet diets improved average daily gain and feed conversion ratio (p < 0.05). There was a trend toward improved DM, crude protein and amino acid ileal digestibilities and improved protein and amino acid ileal digestibilities and improved protein net availability with the use of HP300 in swine diets.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary CP levels in gestation under equal lysine content on reproductive performance, blood metabolites and milk composition of gilts. A total of 25 gilts ($F_1$, Yorkshire${\times}$Landrace) were allotted to 4 dietary treatments at breeding in a completely randomized design, and fed 1 of 4 experimental diets containing different CP levels (11%, 13%, 15%, or 17%) at 2.0 kg/d throughout the gestation. Body weight of gilts at 24 h postpartum tended to increase linearly (p = 0.09) as dietary CP level increased. In lactation, backfat thickness, ADFI, litter size and weaning to estrus interval (WEI) did not differ among dietary treatments. There were linear increases in litter and piglet weight at 21 d of lactation (p<0.05) and weight gain of litter (p<0.01) and piglet (p<0.05) throughout the lactation as dietary CP level increased. Plasma urea nitrogen levels of gilts in gestation and at 24 h postpartum were linearly elevated as dietary CP level increased (p<0.05). Free fatty acid (FFA) levels in plasma of gestating gilts increased as dietary CP level increased up to 15%, and then decreased with quadratic effects (15 d, p<0.01; 90 d, p<0.05), and a quadratic trend (70 d, p = 0.06). There were no differences in plasma FFA, glucose levels and milk composition in lactation. These results indicate that increasing dietary CP level under equal lysine content in gestation increases BW of gilts and litter performance but does not affect litter size and milk composition. Feeding over 13% CP diet for gestating gilts could be recommended to improve litter growth.

Iron deficient anemia in piglets could be overcome by supplementary iron. Overloaded iron induced peroxidation of cell membrane and increased malonaldehyde (MDA). Antioxidant activity of vitamin C has been studied in iron-overloaded swine plasma. Erythrocyte fragility, MDA, glutathione, vitamin A, and vitamin E were measured in swine plasma with or without iron (0~1mg/dl) and vitamin C (0~10mg/dl). Erythrocyte fragility increased from 8% to 45% in iron group and reduced from 57% to 43% in vitamin C group with dose dependant response. MDA was $0.94{\pm}0.05$ and $1.86{\pm}0.10$ nmol/ml in piglet and pig, respectively, and significantly high in pig (p<0.05). Iron increased MDA from $1.86{\pm}0.10$ to $9.46{\pm}0.04$ nmol/ml in pig, but not in piglet (p<0.05). Vitamin C reduced MDA from $9.46{\pm}0.04$ to $4.80{\pm}0.10$ nmol/ml in pig. Iron increased glutathione from $90.12{\pm}0.10$ to $108.52{\pm}5.29$ nmol/dl in pig, and vitamin C reduced glutathione from $108.52{\pm}5.29$ to $93.52{\pm}2.44$ nmol/dl (p<0.05). Vitamin A and E were $24.86{\pm}2.70$ to $138.29{\pm}6.70{\mu}g/dl$, respectively in iron group, and $35.76{\pm}0.60$ to $177.21{\pm}2.95{\mu}g/dl$, respectively in supplementary vitamin C group (p<0.05). These data indicated an antioxidant activity of vitamin C in iron-overloaded swine plasma.

The effects of dietary protein and lysine levels on lactating multiparous sows and litter performance were studied. Sixty-two crossbred multiparous sows ($Landrace{\times}Yorkshire$) were used. Thirty-three and twenty-nine sows were studied in their second parity and third parity respectively. The three dietary treatments were: (1) the control diet containing 15% CP and 0.75% lysine, (2) a diet containing 13% CP and 0.75% lysine (0.60% natural+0.15% synthetic), and (3) a diet containing 13% CP and 0.60% lysine. They were fed twice daily and allowed ad libitum access to food and water throughout a 28 day lactation from parturition until weaning. The results of this experiment showed that body weight and backfat losses of the sows from farrowing to weaning were significantly affected (p<0.01) by reducing dietary protein. Neither average daily feed intake nor weaning to estrus interval of sows were significantly different among treatments. Supplementing lower dietary protein with synthetic lysine could mitigate backfat losses, but could not prevent body weight losses in lactating multiparous sows. A corn-soybean meal diet containing 13% crude protein and 0.60% lysine did not significantly affect litter size and survival rate of weanling piglets compared with the 15% crude protein diet. There was a tendency towards decreased piglet weight at weaning (p<0.10) and reduced daily gain of piglets (p<0.11) when the multiparous sows were fed the 13% protein diet during lactation. We found a severe loss of body weight and backfat when reducing dietary protein for lactating multiparous sows.

The effects of housing and nutrition on the performance of first lactation sows of the Nepalese Pakhribas breed were investigated. A total of 36 sows, from a previous experiment on nutrition during gilt rearing, were allocated according to a factorial design with 2 levels of nutrition, 60 or 80% of the calculated lactation requirement, and two types of housing, traditional or improved. The mean live weight loss of sows during lactation was reduced to a slightly greater extent by improved housing (p<0.05) than by better nutrition (p<0.10). There was also a significantly lower loss of $P_2$ backfat thickness (p<0.05) and mean body condition score (p<0.05) for sows on the higher plane of nutrition. Piglet weight gain in early and mid lactation was influenced by gestation feeding of the gilt (p<0.10) and by housing (p<0.05). Late lactation gain was influenced only by lactation feeding (p<0.05). In consequence, piglet weight at 42 day weaning was increased to a similar extent by improved housing (p<0.05) and better lactation nutrition (p<0.01). Significantly more sows were remated by day 10 after weaning from a higher level of rearing nutrition ($x^2=13.57$, p=0.001), and from improved housing and improved lactation (both $x^2=4.57$, p=0.033). It is concluded that, under Nepalese village conditions, improvements in housing may be a more cost effective way of improving sow performance than expenditure on additional feed resources.

One hundred and forty-four piglets with an average birth weight of 1,672${\pm}$13.4 g were used to evaluate different feeding strategies for piglets reared from birth on a dummy sow. A 3${\times}$2 factorial experiment compared three nursing frequencies (1, 3 or 6 h intervals) and two feeding regimes (milk only, or milk combined with access to creep feed and water). The piglets which were nursed at one hour intervals had the lightest body weights at all days, and the poorest combined milk and creep feed dry matter conversion efficiency to piglet body weight gain in the second week. Piglets which were nursed at 3 h intervals had the heaviest body weight at day 15 and 22, but those nursed at 6 h intervals achieved similar body weight by days 29 (milk withdrawal) and 36. Piglets offered creep feed were observed to wean themselves before cessation of milk availability, and the timing of this self-weaning depended on the nursing frequency. The piglets nursed at one hour intervals weaned themselves between day 22 and day 29, those nursed at 3 h intervals weaned themselves between day 15 and day 22, whilst those nursed at 6 h intervals weaned themselves between day 8 and day 15. The piglets which were nursed at 6 h intervals had the highest total dry matter intake in weeks 3 and 4 when fed with milk, creep feed and water but not when fed milk only. They consequently had the poorest dry matter conversion efficiency in the fourth week and overall when fed with milk, creep feed and water, but not when fed milk only. It is concluded that the optimal management routine under these conditions is a 3 h nursing cycle with provision of supplementary creep feed and water.
