Which risk-factors are responsible for hypogalactia in the sow and what are the early signs?
It should always be the goal to create an ideal thermal environment for both the high performing sow and her offspring.
The correct day of farrowing (often d117-d118) is critical when dealing with hyperprolific sows. Farrowings that progress smoothly and take place in a quiet environment, where the sow releases large amounts of colostrum and can suckle her piglets without interruption should be seen as the” ideal” and the objective for every farrowing. Special care to create this environment for first parity sows which may be particularly fearful will benefit them particularly.

US - In the latest 'At the Meeting' (ATM) audio program on swine health from the Morrison Group, leading swine veterinarians take on the historic and novel work regarding porcine circovirus (PCV2), including prevention, new diagnostic methods and vertical transmission’s impact on pig production and sow herds.
US - Many of the key lessons gained from area regional control (ARC) programme targeted at PRRS virus over the last six years are now being used to help producers manage, monitor and share information on other swine diseases, including porcine epidemic diarrhoea (PED) and influenza, says Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica Inc. (BIVI).
