Assessing the effects of farrowing crate design and mothering phenotype on pre-weaning piglet survival and performance using imaging technologies
June 7, 2023By Tami Brown-Brandl
Actual piglet mortality is a combination of a set of complex interactions between sow, piglet, environmental, and management factors. While crushing by the sow may be the ultimate cause of piglet mortality, there are many factors influencing the outcome, including hypothermia, starvation, and others. This study’s goals were to create a better environment for the piglets and the sow and to work towards methods of selecting sows with better mothering ability.
