Data on the effects of the anionic protein meal BioChlor^Ⓡ on sows before and after farrowing.

ABSTRACT: Three hundred and two parity 3 and 4 sows were allocated to one of three treatment groups: A (n=106): Control group fed the standard lactation diet; B (n=94): Lactation diet supplemented with 10 kg BioChlor/T; C (n=102): Lactation diet supplemented with 20 kg BioChlor/T. The sows were randomly allocated to treatment on entry to the farrowing shed at 100 d of gestation. The numbers allocated to each treatment were not equal with fewer sows allocated to treatment B at the start of treatment feeding than originally intended. Six allocated sows were not pregnant at their due farrowing date and two control group sows died after treatment feeding commenced prior to farrowing. All sows were individually housed in sow stalls and were fed 3 kg of their treatment diet once a day from d 105 of gestat
