Abstract
This case study characterizes breeding performance related to unintentional dietary intake of phytoestrogenic compounds. Breeder farms A (affected) and B (unaffected) were under single management and supplied by two unconnected feed mills. Breeding parameters were recorded over 2 years and feed analyzed for mycotoxins and isoflavonoids. Farm B had consistently better breeding performance. Clinical signs of hyperestrogenism (vulval tumefaction, mammary gland dysfunction, and delayed estrus) were evident in 5% to 10% of breeding females on farm A. Mycotoxin concentrations were negligible, but phytoestrogenic isoflavonoid concentrations associated with one source of soybean meal were above 55,000 µg/kg on farm A.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Swine Health & Production (JSHAP) is an open-access and peer-reviewed journal published by the American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) since 1993. The aim of the journal is the timely publication of peer-reviewed papers with a scope that encompasses the many domains of applied swine health and production, including the diagnosis, treatment, management, prevention and eradication of swine diseases, welfare & behavior, nutrition, public health, epidemiology, food safety, biosecurity, pharmaceuticals, antimicrobial use and resistance, reproduction, growth, systems flow, economics, and facility design. The journal provides a platform for researchers, veterinary practitioners, academics, and students to share their work with an international audience. The journal publishes information that contains an applied and practical focus and presents scientific information that is accessible to the busy veterinary practitioner as well as to the research and academic community. Hence, manuscripts with an applied focus are considered for publication, and the journal publishes original research, brief communications, case reports/series, literature reviews, commentaries, diagnostic notes, production tools, and practice tips. All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Swine Health & Production are peer-reviewed.
