Effects of early intermittent maternal separation on behavior, physiological, and growth performance in piglets

Early intermittent neonatal maternal separation created stress and affected the growth performance of piglets during suckling. However, the growth rate was improved by compensatory measures during late weaning.

Abstract

Effects of two mixing times post-service on the welfare of sows in a group housing system with free access stalls

Findings may explain numerically lower pregnancy and farrowing rates in sows mixed two days post-service.

Abstract

Effects of jute nesting material and enriched piglet mats on sow welfare and piglet survival

The jute material and piglet nests positively impacted sow welfare and piglet measures but did not translate into improved piglet survival.

Abstract

Preferential associations in an unstable social network: applying social network analysis to a dynamic sow herd

These findings highlight the complexities involved when forming social preferences and present a platform for further exploring the motivations for preferential associations among intensively farmed pigs.

Abstract

Genetic associations between human-directed behavior and intraspecific social aggression in growing pigs

Heritability estimates for all studied traits suggest they could be suitable as a method of phenotyping aggression and fear/boldness for genetic selection purposes.

Abstract

Characterizing resilience to weaning stress and its associations with behavioral differences in finishing gilts

Resilience to weaning stress was associated with behavioral differences in finishing gilts at mixing and when faced with novel situations.

Abstract

Reproductive performance of gilts and weaned sows grouped at different days after insemination

Group housing gestating sows 2 days after breeding compromised litter size; however, mixing gilts on days 1 to 4 after breeding did not impair reproductive performance.

Abstract

Risk factors differ for viable and low viable crushed piglets in free farrowing pens

Results show the importance of differentiating between low viable and viable crushed piglets for the interpretation of risk factors for crushing losses.

Abstract

Effects of farrowing hut design on maternal and thermoregulatory behavior in outdoor housed sows and piglets

The metal hut appears to be the best compromise considering thermal environment, behavior, and litter survival.

Abstract

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.

Abstract

The effect of gilt flow management during acclimation on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae detection

A similar M. hyopneumoniae detection pattern was observed regardless of gilt flow.

Abstract

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.
