“…Intermittent suckling without extended lactation leads to piglets showing more visits to the feeder, higher food intakes pre-and postweaning and body weights postweaning, but the food intake is still variable, and effects vary between studies, (possibly as a result of breed, management, duration of intermittent suckling and weaning age, for example Gómez-Carballar et al, 2009). As food intake is still variable and intermittent suckling requires a lot of labour from the farmer, intermittent suckling may not be the optimal solution to reduce weaning-associated problems.…”

“…Growth rates as low as 165 and 200 g/day have been observed in the suckling IB piglet according to measurements at 21 and 42 days of age, respectively (Daza, 2001). Creep feeding in combination with intermittent suckling (Gó mez-Carballar et al, 2009) has failed to result in heavier piglets at weaning or shortly after it. It is known that both the quantity of milk and its composition may limit the growth rate of the suckling piglet (Williams, 1995).…”

“…Animals and experimental design Main details of animals and experimental procedures have been previously published (Gómez-Carballar et al, 2009;Castellano et al, 2013b). Briefly, 20 purebred Iberian sows (Silvela strain, from Huelva, Spain) were used in two consecutive trials (n = 10 sows per trial) separated by a 3-month interval, following the same experimental protocol and facilities.…”

“…However, very few data have been reported on the implementation of IS in the Iberian pig, an autochthonous obese breed, widely appreciated because of the special organoleptic characteristics of its products (Lopez-Bote, 1998). Recent studies have shown that when Iberian piglets are subjected to IS, their solid feed intake tends to increase during the milk restriction, although no significant improvement in the post-weaning digestibility of the starter diet was found (Gómez-Carballar et al, 2009). Body composition at weaning might be a determinant for the effects in the early postweaning and later development (Williams, 2003); however, information on the effects of IS on the body composition of weaned Iberian piglets is lacking.…”
