Effects of socialising piglets on sow and piglet performance and behaviour of entire male piglets
AnimalEntire male pigs show more aggressive behaviour and mounting than female pigs. By sorting growing pigs into male and female pens, at least half of the pigs are protected from the aggressive behaviour and mounting of the entire males.

The Maturing Development of Gut Microbiota in Commercial Piglets during the Weaning Transition
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Early weaned piglets are vulnerable to diarrhea because of weaning stress and immaturity of intestinal tract. Compelling evidence suggests that gut microbiota is vital to host health.

The Stomach Capacity is Reduced in Intrauterine Growth Restricted Piglets Compared to Normal Piglets [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Selection for increased litter sizes have decreased the average birth weight of piglets and up to 30% of newborn piglets in Danish herds show signs of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).

Weaning stress and intestinal health of piglets: A review
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Weaning is considered to be one of the most critical periods in pig production, which is related to the economic benefits of pig farms. However, in actual production, many piglets are often subjected to weaning stress due to the sudden separation from ...

Changes in the Microbiome Profile in Different Parts of the Intestine in Piglets with Diarrhea
Animals, 2022 Simple Summary The most common genera in the piglet microbiome were Lactobacillus, Escherichia-Shigella, Enterococcus, Bacteroides, and Fusobacterium. Bacteria of the Lactobacillus genus dominated in healthy piglets.
