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. There is an ideal time for fertilizing the
ANNA JEAN ROW CLIFFE

Born Anna Cavill, she was married to
William B. Rowcliffe. She is survived by her

Hospital, London, on Aug. I. She was 83.

well-known local citizen and long-time
correspondent for the Huron Pbcpositor

Ruth -Ann Freethy of London, and son

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.

of competitors from North Huron 9-H clubs
by a score of 305 to 205 recently in an
agricultural version of the television program/
