Altrenogest and fat for summer breeding of first-litter sows

Crossbred first-Iitter sows in a commercial swine unit were assigned to serve as controls after summer weanings or were fed altrenogest for 7 days or altrenogest for 7 days plus supplemental fat for 14 days after weaning. While similar proportions of sows came into heat after weaning, sows fed altrenogest returned to estrus about 9 days later than control sows. Incidence of anestrus was similar across sow groups (31%), while most of the sows not detected in heat could be classified by cause after examining serum progesterone concentrations at 3 wk after weaning. Nearly 69 % of the sows not detected in heat had luteal function, indicating a failure to detect sows when in true estrus or failure of sows to show behavioral estrus. Farrowing traits were similar among treatments, however, there was a tendency for sows fed altrenogest to have higher farrowing rates.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 15, 1984

Efficacy of Ectrin® (Fenvalerate) for sarcoptic mange control in swine

A trial was conducted to determine the efficacy of fenvalerate (Ectrin®) for control of sarcoptic mange mites in swine. Artificially infested pigs were treated with two sprayings of Ectrin at 0.05% concentration with 1 wk interval between sprayings. One week after the first spraying, mite numbers and clinical signs of mange had decreased in treated animals but remained elevated in infested-nontreated pigs. Four weeks after the first spraying (3 wk after the second spraying), no mites were found in scrapings from the Ectrintreated pigs and the amount of scratching and rubbing in those pigs decreased compared with the infestednontreated pigs. It was concluded that Ectrin is an effective control for sarcoptic mange in pigs at the 0.05% level when two sprayings are used.; Swine Day, Manhattan, KS, November 15, 1984
