The effect of breed and intrauterine crowding on fetal erythropoiesis on day 35 of gestation in swine.
TL;DR: It is confirmed that fetal erythropoiesis in Meishan gilts is accelerated compared with White crossbred gilts, consistent with the hypothesis that faster blood cell development could be beneficial to fetal survival in swine.

Porcine erythropoietin receptor: molecular cloning and expression in embryonic and fetal liver
P.L. Pearson,Timothy P. L. Smith,Tad S. Sonstegard,Harold G. Klemcke,Ronald K. Christenson,J. L. Vallet +5 more
TL;DR: The full coding sequence for porcine erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) was elucidated using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and 3' and 5' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) procedures and it was inferred that a major and two minor forms of mRNA are present.

Isolation of Complementary Deoxyribonucleic Acids Encoding Putative Secreted and Membrane-Bound Folate Binding Proteins from Endometrium of Swine
J. L. Vallet,T. P. L. Smith,Tad S. Sonstegard,P.L. Pearson,Ronald K. Christenson,Harold G. Klemcke +5 more
TL;DR: Data are consistent with a role for putative secreted and membrane-bound forms of FBPs in the transport of folate to the developing swine conceptus during early pregnancy.
Erythropoietin mRNA expression in pig embryos.
TL;DR: Results indicate that at the gestational ages examined, the embryonic liver is one source of plasma erythropoietin and suggest thatat the ages sampled, EPO is not a limiting factor in embryonic development.

Intravenous infusion of iron and tetrahydrofolate does not influence intrauterine uteroferrin and secreted folate-binding protein content in swine.
TL;DR: It is suggested that uterine secretion of uteroferrin and secreted folate-binding protein are not influenced by plasma levels of iron and folate, respectively, and may provide an explanation for the equivocal effect of ironand folate treatment on reproductive performance in gilts.
