A total of 472 mixed parity sows were used from d 106 of gestation until weaning to determine the effects of Lys and energy intake in the last 7 d…
…alive than control fed sows. The difference in subsequent number born alive between sows supplemented with soy oil and control fed sows was .35 piglets. No differences (p>.05) in lactation…

…419 individually-housed sows were used. Sows were balanced by parity (P2 –P10) and body condition score (BCS, 1-5) on d 90 of gestation to 2 treatments [Control or bump-feeding (BP)]….
…to sows fed ad libitum, and increased (P=0.027) preweaning mortality compared to sows fed four daily meals, resulting in reduced (P=0.006) weaned percentage compared to sows fed four daily meals….
…compared with sows fed the Control or SO diet. However, daily LA and ALA intakes of sows fed the Combination and SO diets were still greater (P < 0.05) than…
…not differ (P >0.05) between dietary treatments. Yet sows supplemented with soybean oil tended (P=0.10) to have fewer stillborn piglets (0.06 piglets) than Control sows. No differences (P >0.05) in…
