Metanálise da relação entre espessura de toicinho e variáveis nutricionais de porcas gestantes e lactantes Meta-analysis of relation among backfat thickness and nutritional variables of gestating and lactating sows
Abstract
Uma metanálise foi realizada para avaliar a relação entre a espessura de toicinho e as variáveis nutricionais de porcas gestantes e lactantes. A base de dados contemplou 14 artigos publicados de 2000 a 2006 em revistas indexadas. A metanálise foi realizada através de análises gráfica, de correlação e de variância. A correlação entre espessura de toicinho na gestação (ETg) com consumo de alimento na gestação (CAl G) foi de -0,09 (P=0,04), com CAl na lactação (CAl L) baseado na tabela NRC (1998) foi de -0,09 (P=0,06), com CAl na lactação baseado na tabela Rostagno (2000) foi de -0,08 (P=0,06) e com consumo de proteína bruta na lactação (CAl L PB) foi de -0,08 (P=0,06). A correlação entre espessura de toicinho na lactação (ETl) com CAl na gestação foi de 0,29 (PA meta-analysis was undertaken to evaluate the relationship between backfat thickness and nutritional variables of sows during gestation and lactation. The database was developed from 14 studies published between 2000 and 2006. The meta-analysis was carried out trough by graphical analysis, correlation and variance. The correlation between backfat thickness at gestation (BTg) and feed intake (FI) at this phase was -0.09 (P=0.04). The correlation between backfat thickness at gestation (BTg) and lactation FI NRC (1998) was -0.09 (P=0.06); BTg and FI at lactation Rostagno (2000) presented a correlation of-0.08 (P=0.06). In the same way the correlation between BTg and crude protein (CP) intake at lactation was -0.08 (P=0.06). The correlation between backfat thickness at lactation (BTl) and FI at gestation was 0.29 (P<0.01). BTl and FI at gestation NRC (1998) presented a correlation of 0.20 (P<0.01). For BTl and gestation feed intake Rostagno (2000) a correlation of 0.20 (P<0.01) was reported. The correlation between BTl and lactation FI was -0.21 (P<0.01), the correlations between BTl and lactation FI NRC (1998) were -0.24 (P<0.01) and lactation FI Rostagno (2000) 0.24 (P<0.01). Correlations of 0.20 (P<0.01) and -0.26 (P<0.01) were observed between BTl and CP intake at gestation and CP intake at lactation respectively. The backfat thickness variation at lactation is influenced by protein and lysine levels in the diet and fat and protein of the milk. Gestation and lactation backfat thickness variation was similar to NRC (1998) and Rostagno (2000). There is a significant relationship between backfat thickness and nutritional variables in pregnant and farrowing sows.
