Physiological and biochemical status of newborn piglets

Abstract

Abstract The flow rate in newborn piglets of all types of metabolism strongly determines the intensity of their growth and development. At the same time, many of their normative indicators in newborn piglets in the conditions of central Russia remain not fully understood. In piglets kept in Central Russia, during the neonatal period, the level of total protein rapidly increased due to an increase in the albumin and globulin fractions. This was accompanied by an increase in their blood urea, reflecting the intensification of protein metabolism. In piglets, an increase in glucose and triglyceride levels with a decrease in cholesterol concentration was noted in the blood during the first 5 days. During the neonatal period, the observed piglets showed an increase in the activity of alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transferase. This was accompanied by a decrease in the activity of transaminases in their blood and the stability of the functional activity of lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase. The detected concentrations of the metabolites taken into account and the found activity of the registered enzymes can be considered as normative for newborn piglets kept in central Russia.
