Body weight and the rate of change in TBW, ECW, and ICW were measured in 252 anesthetized pigs during the first 12 weeks after birth. After TBW was measured with 3H2O, 55 of the pigs were killed and TBW measured by desiccation. 3H2O overestimated TBW by 6.5% of body weight and 4.9% of fat-free wet weight, compared to desiccation (P less than 0.001); mean figures for 3H2O were 78.6 +/- 1.02% of body weight, and for desiccation, 72.1 +/- 0.45%; on a FFWW basis, 88.6 +/- 0.94% for 3H2O, and 83.7 +/- 0.13% for desiccation. TBW decreased significantly from 85.0% of body weight at birth (1.5 dg) to 75% at 5 kg (day 28) at a rate of ---3.2% body wt/kg body wt (P less than 0.001 from a zero rate). After that the rate of decrease was not different from zero: --0.117% body wt/kg body wt. ECW decreased significantly from 48% at birth to 35% at day 28 at a rate of --3.802% body wt/kg body wt (P less than 0.001 from a zero rate), and after day 28 the rate of decrease was not different from zero (--0.149% body wt/kg body wt) through week 12. ICW decreased, but not significantly, at a rate of --0.099% body wt/kg body wt. The changes in the rate of decrease in TBW and ECW coincided with weaning, and it was speculated that there was a direct relationship between the two events.
