Can we apply principles of outdoor farming on an indoor unit? Facilities and management (II/II)
The second part of this article tells us what we can learn from sow's nesting instinct, creep-feed intake, relationship with the operator and groups formation in camping systems for use in our closed farms.
Gut health: Potentiation of the barrier function and the immune response

Diagnostic darkness: recurring fertility decline in summer
Pig reproduction and summer are not good friends, Heat comes, daylight hours drop, fertility decreases and the vets come across more reproductive pathology than during the rest of the year. Why doing always the same does not always yield the same result?
Weaning-to-service interval: not only non-productive days
It is not only related to NPDs, but it can also have a greater impact than we first thought.
Advances in artificial insemination in nulliparous sows
The morphological differences in the cervical wall and canal between multiparous and nulliparous sows require deep AI devices adapted to the characteristics of the nulliparous.
Piglets weaned per sow lifetime, the hidden index
One of the indices that is generating much interest is the one referred to the number of weaned piglets per sow lifetime (WSL). This index refers to the total number of piglets that a sow has weaned throughout its productive life.
