Relationships among pigs weaned, preweaning survival and weaning weight with the number of piglets after cross fostering
Although piglet birth weight is the most influential factor affecting piglet survival other behavioral factors such as vitality and vigor of piglets at birth contribute to the overall likelihood of the offspring surviving.
