Constipation is a decrease in the frequency and/or amount of defecation accompanied by a prolonged and difficult passage of the stool. When the sow finally defecates, the manure is usually formed into small, pellet-shaped portions. Constipation occurs when the sow is dehydrated. Dehydration is common following farrowing because the sow has lost body water from the expulsion of placenta and farrowing fluids. It may take a few days for a sow to recover the water lost during farrowing.
