ABSTRACT

Consistent feed intake during the stress of gestation and lactation in the sow may help maintain the wellbeing of the sow and resulting litter. The effects of the consumption of the appetizing ingredient M. cordata extract preparation (MCEP; trade name Sangrovit^®) added to the feed at 50 and 100 ppm on the wellbeing and growth in the late gestation and lactation phases of sows and the resulting piglets prior to weaning was evaluated in preliminary and confirmatory feeding trials. Small increases in sow feed intake and piglet body weights were found in the preliminary trials. In the confirmatory field trial, low increases in sow feed intake with Sangrovit^® resulted in decreased sow backfat loss and increased (P < 0.05) sow body condition scores. There was a positive effect on piglet growth, with significantly (P < 0.05) increased litter weight gain and litter weight at weaning. The results of these field trials show that the addition of Sangrovit^® to sow feed during late gestation and lactation has positive effects on both the sows and the resulting litters.
