Prenatal development is mainly dependent on a close interrelation between nutritionalsupply use and regulation by hormones and growth factors. Mechanisms during early embryonicdevelopment are sensitive to manipulation through selected management strategies of the sow andmodifications of this strategy may serve as a model for the examination of molecular and cellularevents controlling early embryonic growth. The administration of growth hormone (GH) to pregnantsows affects the development of fetuses in a manner dependent on the gestational period of treatment,therefore suggesting that maternal GH plays a significant role in prenatal development. In addition, inwell-fed and feed-restricted gilts, treatment with porcine somatotropin (pST) during early to mid-pregnancypromotes the growth of their placenta and/or fetuses. Due to an exponential increase inresearch exploring the role of ST in growth biology, collectively, these studies resulted in anunprecedented increase in our understanding of how ST affects growth of domestic animals. Thus, themain purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the remarkable biological effects that pSThas on pig fetal growth. |
