DOI: 10.1002/mrd.22846
Abstract: Group‐housing systems for pregnant sows are considered a welfare‐promoting alternative to the individual stall. A major concern associated with pregnant sows housed in group pens is increased aggression at mixing and at feeding, which may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/age.13248
Abstract: Since sow backfat thickness (BFT) is highly correlated with its service life and reproductive effectiveness, dynamic monitoring of BFT is a critical component of large-scale sow farm productivity. Existing contact measures of sow BFT have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s13028-019-0497-6
Abstract: BackgroundAnemia characterized by low hemoglobin concentration (HbC) is common in indoor housed pregnant sows. Iron is essential for hemoglobin synthesis and a number of metabolic processes including DNA synthesis and regulation of enzyme systems. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/vaccines11010054
Abstract: Porcine parvovirus (PPV) causes reproductive failure in sows, and vaccination remains the most effective means of preventing infection. The NADL-2 strain has been used as a vaccine for ~50 years; however, it does not protect… read more here.
