Abstract

The present study was undertaken to find relationships of plasma insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I and IGF-II concentrations to litter size and lactation performance. Sixty pure-bred Landrace and Yorkshire pigs having similar farrowing weeks which had been selected from a large number of pregnant gilts and sows were divided into low- (<${\mu}$－0.5SD) and high-litter size (>${\mu}$+0.5 SD) lines under a 2 (breed)${\times}$2 (line) factorial arrange of treatments. After adjusting the litter size to nine piglets per sow at farrowing, total litter weight was measured at three weeks postpartum at weaning as an index of milk yield. Blood samples were obtained from the jugular vein at day (d)-90 pregnancy (Px) and at d-15 postpartum. The litter size or the number of piglets born during the present experiment and the average litter size during the entire parities up to the present one were greater in the high-line than in the low-line by 3.7 and 2.4 piglets, respectively (P<0.01); effect of the breed on litter size was not significant. Plasma IGF-II concentration at d-90 Px was greater in the high-line than in the low-line. Litter size and d-90 Px IGF-I concentration were negatively correlated in Landrace (r=－0.46; P<0.05) and tended to be negatively correlated in Yorkshire (r=－0.31; P=0.09), which resulted in a significant negative correlation between these two variables in total animals (r=－0.35; P<0.01). Litter weight at weaning was not different between the two breeds or lines. Relationships between the litter weight and IGF concentration were not consistent across the breed ${\times}$ physiological stage combinations. Results suggest that d-90 Px IGF concentrations may be indicative of the litter size at impending farrowing.

본 연구는 혈장의 insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I과 IGF-II 농도와 산자수 및 비유성적과의 관계를 구명하고자 착수되었다. 분만주가 비슷한 미경산 및 경산 임신돈 중에서 선발한 총 60두의 순종 Landrace와 Yorkshire 공시돈을 저산자수 (low; <${\mu}$­0.5 SD)와 고산자수 (high; >${\mu}$ + 0.5 SD)-lines로 구분하여 2 (품종) ${\times}$ 2 (line) 요인분석 실험설계 하에 본 실험을 진행하였다. 공시돈은 분만시 모돈당 포유자돈수를 9두로 고정시키고, 3주령 이유시 비유량의 척도로서 총 이유자돈 체중을 측정하였다. 혈액 시료는 임신 90일과 분만 후 15일에 경정맥으로부터 채취하였다. 본 실험기간 중 산자수 및 본 실험기간까지의 평균 산자수는 high-line이 low-line보다 각각 3.7두와 2.4두 많았고 (P< 0.01), 두 품종간 산자수 차이는 없었다. 임신 90일 혈장의 IGF-II 농도는 low-line보다 high-line에서 높았다. 산자수는 임신 90일 IGF-I 농도와 Landrace에서는 부의 상관관계를 나타냈고 (r=－0.46; P<0.05), Yorkshire에서는 부의 상관관계 경향을 나타내어 (r=－0.31; P=0.09) 전체 공시돈에서는 이들 두 변수간 유의적인 부의 상관관계를 보였다 (r=－0.35; P< 0.01). 이유시 모돈당 총 이유자돈 체중은 두 품종간 혹은 두 lines간 차이가 없었다. 이유자돈 체중과 IGF 농도와의 관계는 품종 ${\times}$ 생리적인 생태 조합들간 일정한 경향을 나타내지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 임신 90일 IGF 농도가 임박한 분만시 산자수의 지표가 될 수 있는 가능성을 시사한다.
