Effect of Gestational Folic Acid Supplementation on Offspring Immune Organ Development and Postnatal Immune Response [PDF]
, 1999 Pairs of littermate, primiparous sows were fed a low folic acid, basal diet for 98 days to minimize body folic acid (FA) stores. Following the depletion period, sows were synchronized and bred via artificial insemination.

Temporary versus permanent crating: free movement of mother sow enhances piglet play behaviour
AnimalFarrowing crates drastically restrict behavioural opportunities for lactating sows. Temporary crating (TC) systems restrain the sow for the first few days after farrowing and then allow free sow movement in the farrowing pen for the rest of lactation. TC

Binary trees, exploration processes, and an extented Ray--Knight Theorem
, 2012 We study the bijection between binary Galton--Watson trees in continuous time and their exploration process, both in the sub- and in the supercritical cases.
