  • Title: [Effect of biotechnical management procedures on blood parameters in gilts. 1. Acid and alkaline phosphatase].

    Abstract:
    Three independent experiments were conducted with cyclic gilts kept under different conditions (2 x 12 on platforms and 100 from production unit), i.e. hormonally unaffected or under the usual conditions of synchronised oestrus (100 mg Suisynchron per animal and die over 20 days followed by 1,000 I.U. PMS and again followed, three days later, by 250 I.U. HCG). Blood samples were repeatedly drawn from the jugular vein and brachiocephalic vein during phases of treatment and oestrus. Acid and alkaline phosphatases were determined immediately in the plasms, and the results were calculated by variance analysis. Synchronisation, using Suisynchron, proved conducive to lowering with significance (P less than 0.01) the levels of acid and alkaline phosphatases. All changes in phosphatase values were not in full conformity within the experiments during the other phases of treatment. Phosphatase levels were not affected by discontinuation of Suisynchron nor by administration of Gn hormone. The levels of acid and alkaline phosphatases in biotechnically treated animals appeared to be lower than those in animals with spontaneous oestrus at the time of full oestrus. While the findings were of period-specific significance (P less than 0.01), the results obtained from the individual animal failed to provide specific information, since gaps were too wide between animals and between animals, on the one hand, and periods, on the other (P less than 0.01).
