Estimating the individual stillborn rate from easy-to-collect sow data on farm: an application of the bayesian network model
Our results highlight the impact of parity, previous prolificacy and stillborn rate on the probability of stillborn. Moreover, the importance of backfat thickness, especially in old sows, must be considered. This information can help farmers classify and manage sows according to their risk of giving birth to stillborn piglets.
