[Energy and nitrogen metabolism of pregnant and lactating sows and suckling piglets. 3. Chemical composition and energy content of the animal body fractions as well as portions of the animal body fractions of empty body of nonpregnant, pregnant and lactating sows].

The study is based on the results obtained from the slaughter of 5 sows on the first day of pregnancy and the first day of the experiment respectively (pregnant and non-pregnant sows resp.), of 43 pregnant sows on the 56th, 84th, 98th, 105th and 113rd day of gestation as well as 17 lactating sows on the 26th day of lactation. The animal bodies of pregnant sows were divided in 15 fractions and those of non-pregnant and lactating sows in 12 fractions. The investigations were carried out with 3 x 3 variants of litter number (1, 2, 4) and energy supply (120, 100, 80% of requirement recommendation). The chemical composition and the energy content of the animal body fractions as well as their relative portions of the empty body were largely constant during the course of gestation with the exception of the reproductive organs and the conception products. The physiological stage of lactation connected with limited mobilization of body reserves resulted in a reduction in fat content of some body fractions as well as a limited increase of the portions of body organs contrary to the portions of body tissues of the empty body. In comparison with sows of litter numbers 1 and 2 the sows of litter number 4 were characterized by higher portions of bones and meat, valuable parts as well as by smaller portions of depotfat and meat from head and belly of empty body. The raising of the energy supply of the pregnant sows increased the portion of the depotfat and decreased the portion of the meat, valuable parts of the empty body. The chemical composition of the reproductive organs and the conception products as well as the portions of these fractions of the empty body were influenced strongly from the course of the gestation and lactation resp. The portions of the reproductive organs and of the conception products are small (related to energy < or = 5.7 and < or = 2.6% resp.)
