Effect of method of drying piglets at birth on rectal temperature over the first 24 h after birth

Results suggest that drying piglets at birth is an effective method to reduce rectal temperature decline in the early postnatal period, especially for low birth weight piglets.

Efficacy of transdermal flunixin in mitigating castration pain in piglets

Castrated piglets treated with transdermal flunixin demonstrated lower total pain scores and required less analgesic intervention immediately post-castration compared to castrated piglets receiving no treatment.

Analysis of image-based sow activity patterns reveals associations with piglet survival and early growth

The live-born piglets of sows that were more active the day before farrowing, standing and in other activity than drinking and eating, had higher survival rates.

Dam parity structure and body condition during lactation influence piglet growth and gilt sexual maturation through pre-finishing

Although progeny body weights were typically less from first parity dams through 45 days of age, these progeny were similar or heavier at 100 and 145 days of age in contrast to progeny from other parities.

Effects of maternal factors and environment on early colonization of intestinal microbiota in piglets

These results indicate that microbiota in feces, colostrum, and vaginal secretions of sows more easily colonized piglet intestines through a symbiotic effect.
