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.
Effect of enriching the sow environment and diet during gestation on maternal stress and piglet survival
Enriching the sow environment and diet during gestation therefore improved sow welfare and reduced piglet mortality at and soon after birth.
Effect of enriching the sow environment and diet during gestationStillbirths in relation to sow hematological parameters at farrowing: A cohort study
Piglet stillbirth was associated with several hematological parameters of the sow, namely hemoglobin concentration, mean cell hemoglobin concentration...

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.
Indirect genetic effects for growth rate in domestic pigs alter aggressive and manipulative biting behaviour
The results of this study show opportunities to reduce harmful biting behaviours in pigs.

Sudden rise in returns to oestrus
A farrow-to-finish farm went from 10% to 50% of returns to oestrus, and almost 90% of them were regular.
The effect of age, interval collection and season on selected semen parameters and prediction of AI boars productivity
The possibility of planning the production level has a special importance for AI stations, and its inaccuracy should be minimized by eliminating the factors differentiating the quantity and quality of the ejaculate.
