note = "Funding Information: VOLUNTARY ETHANOL CONSUMPTION, AS A FUNCTION OF ESTRUS, IN ADULT, SINCLAIR(S-I) MINIATURE SOWS. P. Van Cleve*, M.E. Tumbleson, 5.D. Dexter, J.L. Tinsley and C.C. Middleton, Sinclair Comparative Medicine Research Farm, College of Veterinary Medicine and School of Medicine, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65201. Voluntary ethanol consumption was determined, for a i year period, for 6 Sinclair(S-l) miniature sows. Each sow was fed a daily ration and daily ethanol consumption was quantitated at 0800 hours. Water was supplied ad lihitum. Ethanol was supplied ad lihitum as a 20% (w/v) aqueous solution. Mean body weight was 43 kg at the initiation of the study and 59 kg at the end of the 12-month period. Each of the 2-year-old sows had access to ethanol for approximately 6 months, during which time each had farrowed and nursed a litter of plg\]ets. Each sow was at least 4 weeks postlactatlon prior to initiation of the study. The mean estrus period was 20.2 days. For the 364-day study, mean ethanol consumptions were 3.34, 3.53, 3.87, 4.00, 4.48 and 5.17 g/kg body welght/day. Mean ethanol consumption, during the 3-day estrus period, was 1.68 g/kg body welght/day. For the 3-day mldestrus periods, mean ethanol consumption was 5.20 g/kg body weight/day. For one sow, mean ethanol consumptions, during the 3-day estrus and 3-day midestrus periods, were 0.48 and 5.75 g/kg body welght/day, respectively. For the 364-day study, the 6 sows had 17, 56, 14, 26, 16 and 26 days when less than 0.25 g ethanol/kg body weight was consumed and 30, 66, 60, 56, 86 and 138 days when more than 6 g ethanol/kg body weight was consumed.
