Abstract: MAGNO, ALFONSO JR. G. Effects of Top Feeding Supplementation Of Fish-Derived Fatty Acid In Sow Diet on Pre-Weaning Survivability Of Piglets. Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Cavite State University, Indang Cavite. May 2014. Adviser: Dr. Cherry R. Alvarez. This study was conducted to determine the effects of top feeding supplementation of fish-derived fatty acid in sow diet on pre-weaning survivability of piglets. Specifically, the study aimed to: 1) identify the effects of fish-derived fatty acid by top feeding supplementation in sow diet on weaning weight of the piglets; and 2) identify the effects of fish-derived fatty acid by top feeding supplementation in sow diet on pre-weaning mortality and morbidity rates of the piglets. Twenty sows were placed in farrowing pens and randomly distributed into two groups. Ten sows were given a diet without supplement and 10 sows were given a diet supplemented with fish — derived fatty acids. Supplementation was done for 15 days before and after farrowing through top feeding method. The average weaning weight, pre-weaning mortality and morbidity rate were gathered and analyzed. Results revealed that the average weaning weight of piglets from sows fed diet supplemented with fish — derived fatty acids was significantly higher (P<0.05) compared with the control group. The pre-weaning morbidity rate and pre-weaning mortality rate from the treated group was significantly reduced (P<0.05) also. The study showed that the use of fish — derived fatty acids was effective in improving the average weaning weight and reducing the pre-weaning morbidity and morbidity rates.
