local.description.resumoCurrent gestating sow feeding strategies are based on using a single diet regardless of parity or gestation stage. Precision feeding (PF) of the individual sows allows dynamic changes in amino acid and energy requirements throughout gestation. The hypothesis of the study was that meeting the daily predicted amino acid and energy demands of gestating sows using a mathematical model and automatic precision feeder to establish the nutrition programs, would improve reproductive and productive performance compared to conventional feeding programs. Seventy-five mixed-parity sows were distributed among 3 treatments. A treatment managed as flat curve (FLAT: 2.1 kg/d, 1 – 110 d), a high-low-high curve (HLH: 2.2 kg/d, 1 – 49 d; 2.0 kg/d, 50 – 84 d; 2.6 kg/d, 85 – 110 d), where sows received the same diet with 3.2 Mcal/kg of metabolizable energy (ME) and 0.7 g/kg of standardized ileal digestible (SID) lysine. For the PF treatment, feeding level and blend of 2 basal diets (3.0 Mcal/kg of ME; 8.0 and 2.0 g/kg of SID lysine for high and low lysine, respectively) was adjusted daily for each sow to accurately meet estimated amino acid and energy requirements based on live weight, gestation stage and parity. Sows fed PF were heavier on d 110 of gestation (P = 0.011) and tended to increase total number of born (P = 0.092) and born alive (P = 0.077). Sows fed PF showed a higher litter weight (P = 0.003) at birth, lower lactation feed intake (P = 0.010), higher milk yield (P = 0.043) and a larger litter size (P = 0.050). Precision feeding sows also presented an improved maternal transformation index (P = 0.013) when compared to HLH and FLAT. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that the application of PF strategies based on daily nutrient adjustments is highly beneficial for high-producing sows to support the dynamic needs for nutrient availability for the sow´s body growth, mammary gland and fetal development.
