IGF-1 concentration patterns and their relationship with follicle development after weaning in young sows fed different pre-mating diets

IGF-1 concentration patterns and their relationship with follicle development after weaning in young sows fed different pre-mating diets

Piglet birth weight and within-litter birth weight variation are important for piglet survival and growth. Pre-mating diets may improve IGF-1 and follicle development during the weaning-to-oestrus interval (WEI) and subsequent piglet birth weight. The objective of this study was to modulate IGF-1 co...
