“…lipid-forming) activity has been demonstrated to occur de novo in both porcine fetal adipose tissue (Kasser et al 1981) and fetal pig liver (Mersmann, 1971). It appears that, before birth, the lipogenic activity of the liver is greater than that of the adipose tissue, whereas postnatally the adipose tissue assumes the greater role (Mersmann et al 1973). However, compared with other mammals, the potential for lipid synthesis in the newborn pig is lower and is associated with a limited degree of free fatty acid mobilization.…”

The present review focuses on the importance of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) provision for the normal development of the pig neonate. The review describes first the selected fatty acid composition of a range of porcine tissues including nervous tissues, muscle and adipose tissues, reproductive organs and immune-responsive organs and/or cells. The importance of PUFA to the functioning of the immune system of the neonate is considered briefly and is followed by an indepth consideration of the sources of PUFA for the neonatal pig. The effects of different categories or specific types of fatty acid (i.e. non-essential, linoleic, a-linolenic, long-chain n-6 and n-3 PUFA) on various indices of pig neonatal growth are reviewed. The importance of n-3 PUFA supply to the fetal and early neonatal pig is underlined and evidence is presented for more attention to be given to the amounts available from maternal sources. Based on the material reviewed, recommendations are made on the dietary intake of PUFA in the gestating pig. Polyunsaturated fatty acids: Neonatal nutrition: Pig

“…At birth, the percentage of multilocular adipocytes is very high, but by day 3 post partum, many unilocular adipocytes (one major central lipid droplet) are observed (Mersmann et al, 1975;Hauser et al, 1997). In subcutaneous adipose tissue, a marked increase in adipocyte size is observed with diameters increasing from 19 to 24 mm at 3 days of age to 36 mm at 23 days of age (Mersmann et al, 1973 and1975). A similar increase has been reported in perirenal fat (Hauser et al, 1997).…”

With genetic selection, the increase in litter size has led to higher variation in within-litter birth weights in pigs. This has been associated with a reduction in mean birth weights and a rise in the proportion of piglets weighing less than 1 kg at birth. Low birth weight pigs exhibit lower postnatal growth rates and feed efficiency, which may be explained by an inadequate digestion and/or nutrient use as a consequence of prenatal undernutrition. It is now documented that there is a relationship between birth weight and subsequent pattern of growth and development of tissues and organs. During the neonatal period, the rapid somatic growth is accompanied by tremendous anatomical, physiological and chemical composition changes. The present review focuses primarily on the influence of low birth weight on adipose tissue and the gastrointestinal tract growth and development during the suckling period. The importance of the somatotropic axis, insulin, thyroid hormones, glucocorticoids, epidermal growth factor and leptin in the regulation of these developmental processes is also considered.

As part of a larger study designed to characterize the early developmental stages of the Hormel-Hanford strain miniature pig, whole body, brain, kidney, liver, pancreas and spleen from male animals were examined for weight increases from one to 196 days, the approximate age of maturity. At 196 days, body weights had increased to 82.5 times the weight at day 1; increases in organ weights were greatest for spleen, less and similar for kidney, liver and pancreas, and the least for brain. Little change in relative organ weights was noted, except for the brain where an almost steady decrease occurred starting from 7 days after birth.
