Effects of dietary 0.5% aniseed extract on milk yield of sows and their offspring
Knowing the amount of feed consumed by each sow in farrowing rooms without dispensers II
By moving beads stringed in a wire we will record the amount of feed consumed.
Moderate changes in the nutrition of gestating sows have no harmful effects on the development of their offspring
Restraining the sows with two pig holders for blood testing
This trick helps to restrain the sows quickly in their cages to draw blood from them.
The key causes of lameness in sows
Understanding potential causes of lameness can help reduce the levels of lameness in the breeding herd and thus improve farm productivity and sow welfare.
Relative prolactin-to-progesterone concentrations around farrowing influence colostrum yield in primiparous sows
The use of oxytocin in liquid semen doses to reduce seasonal fluctuations in the reproductive performance of sows
Reproductive performance of sows can be predicted by high numbers of pigs born alive in parity one
Insemination with no hands
This trick consists in using a spring for holding the semen bag during the insemination.
