- Abstract
There are two trails in these study. In the first trial, total of 12 sows were selected and PDS diagnose based on postpartum rectal temperature and anorexia. The pre-partum results showed that there was no significant difference in the milk composition between healthy and PDS sows. However, post-pertum milk fat and SCC of PDS were significantly higher than healthy sows, but the lactose content were reversed. Based on the bacterial 16S RNA analysis, fecal bacterial richness of healthy sows is higher than PDS sows, and the postpartum fecal bacterial diversity of Healthy sows were increased. In the second trial, results showed that feeding Bacillus -fermented could reduce the fever rate in sows and increase piglet weaning body weight. Summarized, pre-partum SCC or post-partum fecal bacterial microbiota can be used as anearlier indicator of PDS. Bacillus-fermentative fed with sow could reduce the incidence of PDS, change milk composition, and increase the weaning weight of piglets.
