OBITUARIES Research under way at Agriculture Canada's Brandon, Manitoba Research Sta- tion could increase the number of piglets born in Canada's swine herds by 10 per cent. Only about two-thirds of the embryos a sow starts her pregnancy with survive until birth. "We feel a 30 to 40 per cent death rate is just not acceptable," says Gerry Dyck, an animal physiologist at the research whereuch tation. Canada is not the only country high embryo losses are common. The United States and European countriesalso face the same problem. And, Dr. Dyck says, there is no reason to blame nature for the fetal deaths. "We have found cases where all potential embryos survive to birth, while other sows suffer losses much greater than 40 per cent." Natural selection does occur, of course, with embryo deaths from abnormalities within the fetus itself. These account for about one-quarter of the losses. But other factors which weaken the embryo's ability to survive are responsible for most deaths. The quality of , the semen could be influencing the embryo's chances of survival, as could be the timing of insemination of the sow.

Happy Birthday to Bob and Gard Pryce on August 12. eggs which may be missed. Nutrition also may have some influence on the number of live piglets a sow produces. Studies elsewhere have shown that if sows are fed a higher -than -normal level of food for one to three weeks before breeding, ovulation rates can be greatly increased. However, when the high level of feeding is continued after breeding, a bigger litter may not necessarily result. Dr. Dyck's research has found that if the feed intake in gilts after they are bred is reduced to only a body-weight maintenance diet for the first 10 days, a bigger litter of piglets is possible. But if the feed restriction is continued beyond the 10 -day period, the rate of conception is reduced. Dr. Dyck admits he doesn't know yet what the relationship is between feed consumption and embryo survival. "We suspect that feed restriction alters hormonal production and use within the animal's body." He is now taking a closer look to find out if that is the case, and if so, how it works. But, he concludes, there is not likely any single, simple answer to the problem of embryo loss. MEMBERS OF 4-H CLUBS In South Huron were the top winners In a Reach For The Top competition held In Clinton. The event quizzed 4-H'ers on their agricultural knowledge.
