Serum haptoglobin concentration was investigated as an indicator of weight gain in commercially-reared pigs. The serum haptoglobin concentrations and weights of 40 pigs were monitored on a weekly basis, from weaning to 13 weeks of age. All data were ranked based on the week 13 weights, and divided into high, middle and low weight gain groups. By the fourth week of the study, when the pigs were seven weeks old, serum haptoglobin concentrations could be used to differentiate pigs that would have a high weight gain at the end of the study from those which would have a low weight gain.
研究了血清触珠蛋白浓度作为商业饲养猪体重增加指标的情况。从断奶到13周龄,每周监测40头猪的血清触珠蛋白浓度和体重。所有数据根据13周龄时的体重进行排序,并分为高、中、低体重增加组。在研究的第四周,即猪7周龄时,血清触珠蛋白浓度可用于区分在研究结束时体重增加高的猪和体重增加低的猪。
