The influenza virus promotes colonization by secondary bacterial agents in the lung, facilitating their passage into the bloodstream.

We propose a 2.5-week batch management system with weaning on several consecutive days.

Use the probe of an intrauterine AI catheter to provide colostrum.

Make a hole in one of the ends and place a soda vacuum plug so the feed troughs can be cleaned more easily.

Usual standard on many farms to identify a sow with different genetics quickly.

A series of unsuccessful measures are taken until the problem is finally solved.

We move a plastic ring along the water drainpipe, leaving it at a series of pre-established marks.

Wrap the sow's card in a clear plastic bag and write down the data with a thick marker

Write down events or treatments on the windows as if they were a blackboard.

The goal is to record the sows' feeding level when fed manually.

Wrap the sow's card in a transparent plastic bag and write down on it the information with a thick marker.

20 years ago we inseminated gilts when too small, then we inseminated them when too heavy, and now we are returning to an intermediate weight.

Wrap the ultrasound scanner in cling film to improve the biosecurity measures

The goal is to know the production stage of gestating sows in a quick and visual way.

The most productive farms are not always the best. We must also bear in mind the weaned piglet's weight and the sow's feed intake.

Achieving a high prolificacy and knowing how to take advantage of it (transform it into weaned piglets) is vital for the productivity of a sow farm.
