The Performance of Swine Breeding Herds in Malaysia during 2012 Dr. Paiboon Sungnak, DVM InterCons 3P Co., LTD., Thailand

Since 2009 swine consulting veterinarians from Thailand, aggregated under the name of InterCons 3P, in collaboration with PeterLabs has introduced a new computerized recording system known as PigLIVE, to pig producers in Malaysia. The System was constructed by Prof. Dr. Preeyaphan Udomprasert from Kasetsart University in Thailand and has been used as a standard record keeping system for majority of Thai producers for years. Once data recording is completed, PigLIVE will not only demonstrate actual performance to Malaysian producers but also allow them to effectively dispatch factors limiting farm productivity.

Nowadays more than 50 medium to large farms in Malaysia are using PigLIVE for their production controls. The aim of this report is to compare production figures of pig farms in Malaysia with those of average pig farms in Thailand so that the opportunity for improvement can be realized (Table 1). Malaysian figures were 12 month-rolling averages summarized from 24 units (780 sows/unit on average and 18,721 sows in total).

These report showed that the number of Pig Weaned/Sow/Year (PW/S/Y) has improved from 21.2 to

21.6 (increases 0.4 pigs/sow/year, 2%) in 2011 and 2012 respectively. In addition, they are potential

pig producers who can produce 25 pigs weaned/sow/year

Litter/Sow/Year (LSY) has improved from 2.32 to 2.34 in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Therefore, LSY

2.40 is the new target for 2013.

Number of Weaned Pigs/Litter (WP/L) needs to be improved, from 9.98 weaned pigs/litter (in 2012)

to 10.50 weaned pigs/litter in 2013

Management guidelines

Breeding group size (BGS) must be

calculated properly upon sow level and

number of farrowing crates.

Ensure that replacement gilts will be

managed properly i.e. Estrous cycle

recording, vaccination program, medication

program, acclimatization, flushing and boar

exposure.

Ensure that mating procedure was

performed well according to the mating

guidelines that were published in 2nd and 3rd

issues in 2012 PeterLabs bulletin all the

time.

Ensure that diluted semen is high fertility,

i.e. high progressive motility sperm, less

clumping sperm.

Gestating sow always stay under cool

condition until farrowing.

Treating illness sows during pregnancy

period is recommended.

Maximize lactation feed intake is strongly

recommended for better farrowing rate and

subsequent litter size.

The best feeding schedule with Nuklospray Yoghurt

What is the best feeding schedule for piglets in the farrowing pen? The genetic progress results in a higher number of live-born piglets, which will further increase in the coming years. Therefore it is inevitable to feed an additional milk product. But what would be the right application? Sloten conducted research into the application of Nuklospray Yoghurt and which feeding schedule delivers the best results.

Feeding all piglets Nuklospray Yoghurt is not only for small piglets, but for all piglets in the pen and can be supplied as of day 1, next to sow’s milk. At the sow farm of

the Wassink family in Markelo, the Netherlands, Sloten conducted a trial to examine the effect of feeding Nuklospray Yoghurt to all litters versus problem litters only. In this research the problem litters were left out of consideration. The ‘good’ litters were divided up proportionally into two groups. Group A (red) was fed with Nuklospray Yoghurt for 14 days, followed by a prestarter. Group B (blue) was only fed with a prestarter. Results of this trial show that all piglets benefit from Nuklospray Yoghurt. The product and application to all piglets ensure better growth before and after weaning (figure 1), leading to better uniformity of the piglets.

Two weeks, as of day 1 Another trial was conducted at sow farm Bredek in Emmer Compascuum, the Netherlands, where feeding for a longer period was the focal point. Also this time the animal performances of two similar groups were compared. Piglets in Group A were fed with Nuklospray Yoghurt for 1 week, right after birth. Group B was fed with Nuklospray Yoghurt for 2 weeks. After Nuklospray Yoghurt, both groups received a porridge product. Piglets fed with Nuklospray Yoghurt for two weeks clearly performed better (table 1).

Figure 2. Feeding for 2 weeks leads to more uniform piglets at weaning Feeding Nuklospray Yoghurt for 1 week longer results in more uniform litters and less

laggards, as the red line indicates

Conclusion: a good start makes the difference!

The headstart that is built up by the young piglets already from a young age onwards, will extend to the slaughterhouse. Feeding Nuklospray Yoghurt to all piglets, for a period of 14 days has proven to be the start of the best feeding schedule.

Start immediately

The yoghurt can be prepared with a whisk of milk mixer (as used for calves); use a sprinkler can to pour the yoghurt into a feeding bowl twice a day to gain good insight into the piglets and their feed intake.

Advantages of Nuklospray Yoghurt

• higher dry matter intake from day 1 • more weaned piglets per litter • higher growth before and after weaning • higher profit per sow

2012年马来西亚种猪性能

Dr. Paiboon Sungnak 兽医, InterCons 3P Co., LTD. 泰国

自2009年以来，泰国的养猪咨询兽医，成立了InterCons 3P并与PeterLabs合作，为马来西亚的

养猪户推出了新的电脑化记录系统，简称为PigLIVE 。该系统经由泰国 Kasetsart 大学的Preeyaphan Udomprasert教授建造，并已在多年

以来被大部分的泰国养猪户普遍地使用为一个标准的纪录保存系统。当数据记录完成后，PigLIVE不仅将实际的表现呈现于马来西亚的生

产者，也使他们能够有效地为控制生产力的因素作出适当的调整。

目前，在马来西亚，超过50家，中、大型的农场使用PigLIVE以控制生产力。本报告的目的在

于比较马来西亚与泰国的养猪场的生产值，以了解和实现改善的机会（表一）。马来西亚的数值分别为24个农场12个月内的平均值（平均780头母猪/农场，总共18,721头母猪）。

离乳仔猪头数/胎 (WP/L)需要改善，从9.98头离乳仔猪（2012年）增加至10.50头离乳仔猪

（2013年）。

管理方针

育种猪群的数量 (BGS) 必须配合母猪每个

月的分娩头数和分娩栏数精准地计算。

确保后备女猪的管理恰当，如记录发情周

期、疫苗接种程序、用药程序、适应期、

催卵期和公猪的接触。

确保配种程序正确，配种程序方针可参考

PeterLabs 2012年第2和第3期期刊。

确保稀释后的精液有高生育率，即精子活

力高，凝集成群的精子少。

怀孕母猪置放淤阴凉处，直到分娩。

建议治疗怀孕中的生病母猪。

强烈推荐提高哺乳期间母猪的摄食量以提

高分娩率和随后的产仔数。

以优乳能优格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt) 作最佳的喂饲模式

对于分娩栏的小猪，什么喂饲模式为之最好呢？基因遗传技术的进步促成了更高的仔猪存活率，而这种趋势在未来几年还会持续地增加。因此，喂饲附加的奶制品是必须的。可是，要怎么应用才是适当的呢？Sloten 为 优 乳 能 优 格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt) 的应用进

行了相关的研究，进而拟定了一套最佳的喂饲方式，以达到最佳的成绩。

喂饲所有的仔猪 优 乳 能 优 格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt) 不只是专为初生小猪

而设，而是从第一天开始，除了母乳之外，适用于喂饲分娩栏内的所有仔猪。

在荷兰Markelo的Wassink农场的母猪舍里，Sloten进行了一

项实验，主要是针对优乳能优格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt) 对于普

通仔猪和问题仔猪之影响。在这项研究里，问题仔猪组不在探讨范围内。其他的仔猪平均分为两组：A组（红）和B组（蓝）。A组（红）的仔猪喂饲 优 乳 能 优 格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt) 为期14天，然后喂饲乳猪料；B组（蓝）只是喂饲

乳猪料。这项研究结果显示优乳能优格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt)

对所有的仔猪有显著的成效。这产品确保离乳前和离乳后的仔猪有较佳的生长性能以及较平均的体型（图一）。

从第一天开始维持两星期 另外一项实验在荷兰Emmer Compascumm的Bredek母

猪舍进行。不过，这次实验的焦点着重于更长的喂饲时间以及比较两组相近猪只的生长性能。A组仔猪是打从一出生开始就喂饲优乳能优格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt)长达一周。B组的仔猪则是喂饲两周的优乳能优格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt)。过后，这两组仔猪同时喂饲粥食类产品。喂饲两周优乳能优格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt)的仔猪很明显的生长成绩较好（表一）。

结论：好的开始成就不一样的结果！

小猪一开始就领先的生长速率会一直延续到屠宰场。喂饲所有仔猪14天的优乳能优格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt) 已被证实为最佳的喂食模式。

立即开始行动

优乳能优格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt) 的准备过程简单：

就如为小牛准备牛奶一般，利用搅拌器把优格(Yoghurt) 和水混合，然后利用浇水器把优格 (Yoghurt) 倒入喂饲盘中，每天两次就可以观察仔猪的摄食过程和所带来的益处。

优乳能优格 (Nuklospray Yoghurt) 的益处

• 第一天起就摄取更高的干物质 • 每窝有更多的离乳仔猪 • 离乳前和离乳后得到更好的生长 • 每头母猪取得更高的回筹
