Outline of Final Research Achievements

The major outcomes of the research are; 1. Finding that the colostral molecules initiating the development of newborn piglets are contained in whey and those are stable even after freeze and thaw. 2. Initiation of the development of newborns can be regulated at the gene expression level. 3.The potential of the initiation by colostrum can be varied depending on the sow secreting, meaning there is quality of colostrum that need to be paied attention for healthy growing of newborns. This research revealed more details of effect of colostrum on newborn pig development.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

初乳による初生仔豚の発育惹起の成分の絞り込みや機序の一端を明らかにしたことで、初乳の重要性を再認識する情報を提供することができた。特に、自身の母由来の初乳でなくとも発育惹起効果が得られることが飼養現場における有用な知見であると考えられる。また、初乳に「質」が存在することが科学的に示唆できたことは、飼養現場における経験則を裏付ける重要な知見といえる。これにより、より飼養現場に有用な知見を提供するために焦点を当てるべき研究領域を明らかにすることができた。
