Journal of Animal Science, 2023 AbstractEach suckling pig should receive ≥200 g of colostrum within the first 24 h of life, but with increased litter size this is now difficult to achieve. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of split-suckling and postpartum meloxicam provision to sows as a means of ensuring adequate colostrum intake, on growth and health in pigs pre- and ...

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High litter sizes in pigs are associated with lower birth weights and increased within‐litter variation, which poses challenges to pig farming. Improving piglet uniformity and survival via genetic selection of terminal boars could be a strategy to enhance these traits.
