RESUMO -Foram utilizadas 40 porcas mestiças (Landrace x Large White) de primeiro parto, com peso médio de 182,2 ±16,5 kg para avaliar diferentes níveis de lisina total (0,95; 1,03; 1,10; 1,18; e 1,25%) na ração, mantendo-se a mesma relação de aminoácidos, durante a lactação (21 dias). Utilizou-se o delineamento de blocos ao acaso com cinco tratamentos, oito repetições, sendo a porca considerada a unidade experimental. O consumo total de ração não variou entre os tratamentos, com as porcas consumindo, em média, 4,2 kg de ração por dia. O consumo de lisina e o peso das porcas à desmama aumentaram de forma linear, em razão do nível de lisina das rações. Embora a variação de peso das porcas não tenha sido significativa, as porcas que consumiram as rações com níveis de lisina iguais ou superiores a 1,18% apresentaram menores valores absolutos de perda de peso durante a lactação. O ganho de peso e o peso à desmama dos leitões e da leitegada, a espessura de toucinho e o número de dias para a retomada do estro das porcas após a desmama não foram influenciados pelos níveis de lisina da ração. Concluiu-se que o nível de 0,95%, correspondente a um consumo diário de 40 g de lisina total, atende às exigências de lisina de porcas primíparas em lactação.Palavras-chave: consumo, desmame, estro, leitegada, porcas, reprodução Lysine Levels in the Diet of Primiparous Lactating SowsABSTRACT -Forty crossbred sows (Landrace x Large White) from the first parturition, with average weight of 182.2 ±16.5 kg, were used to evaluate the total lysine levels (0.95, 1.03, 1.10, 1.18, and 1.25%) in the diet, maintaining the same amino acids relation, during lactation (21 days). A completely randomized blocks design, with five treatments, eight replicates, where the sow was considered the experimental unit, was used. Total feed intake did not change according to the treatments, where the sows were daily fed, in average, 4.2 kg. Lysine intake and sows weight at weaning linearly increased, according to the lysine levels in the diet. Although the sows weight variation was not significant, the sows fed diets with lysine levels equal or superior than 1.18% showed smaller absolute values of weight loss during lactation. Weight gain and weaning weight of piglets and litter, backfat thickness and the number of days to return to estrus of sows after weaning were not affected by the dietary lysine levels. It was concluded that the level of 0.95%, correspondent to a daily intake of 40 g total lysine, met the lysine requirements of lactating primiparous sows.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
