RESUMO

Twenty-four Dalland C40 sows were used in one experiment to study the effect of dietary vegetable oil or tallow on productive and reproductive parameters. All sows were fed a corn-soybean meal diet supplemented with 8% soybean (T1), linseed (T2), coconut (T3) oil or tallow (T4) from day 100 of gestation and throughout the lactation period. Sow initial weight and backfat thickness were determined at day 100 of gestation (ISW and IBT, respectively), and at weaning (WSW and WBT, respectively). Sow weight and backfat thickness losses (WL and BTL, respectively) were calculated, and milk yield (MY) was estimated at day 7, 14 and 21 of lactation by weighing the litter before and after suckling. Interval weaning estrus (IWE), and estrus duration (ED), and piglet weight (PW) were recorded. Blood samples were taken at weaning (day 1), and 48 hours after weaning (day 2), and at onset of estrus (day 3) for estradiol (E2) determination. There were no treatment effects for the parameters studied. The means for E2 were 10.25; 12.82; 9.65 e 8.71 pg/ml (day 1), and 25.8; 27.39; 24.64 e 32.12 pg/ml (day 2), and 83.6; 79.14 e 7764 pg/ml (day 3) for treatment 1, 2, 3 e 4, respectively. Means for E2 on day 3 were higher than values observed on day 1 and 2.
