Impact of parturition induction, farrowing environment and birth weight class on endocrine and metabolic plasma parameters related to piglet vitality
Sow management, i.e., the induced parturition using exogenous hormones as well as the applied farrowing environment are reflected in plasma metabolite profiles of piglets and must be critically questioned in routine use with regard to the effects on piglet development.
