布鲁斯·科克伦(Bruce Cochrane)写道,由于秸秆作为妊娠母猪饮食中的一种纤维来源,代表生猪创新组织工作的科学家们正在对秸秆的利用潜能进行评估。生猪创新组织负责进行研究的一部分,一个多机构参与的科学家团队正在通过低成本饲养与管理策略的运用,努力提高母猪产奶量与仔猪发育。通过成分评估得出,纤维来源于小麦与燕麦杆。萨斯喀彻温大学单胃动物营养学的助理教授丹尼斯·比尤利(Denise Beaulieu)博士解释说:“饮食中纤维的含量将有助于维持妊娠母猪的正常身体机能。”
CANADA - Scientists working on behalf of Swine Innovation Porc are assessing the potential of using straw as a source of fibre in the diets of gestating sows, writes Bruce Cochrane.As part of research being conducted on behalf of Swine innovation Porc, a multi-institutional team of scientists is working to increase sow milk yield and piglet growth through the use of low-cost feeding and management strategies.Among the ingredients being assessed is fibre derived from wheat and oat straw.Dr Denise Beaulieu, an Assistant Professor in Monogastric Nutrition with the University of Saskatchewan, explains the inclusion of fibre in the diet will assist in maintaining the proper body condition of the sow during gestation.
