Heat stress of gilts around farrowing causes oxygen insufficiency in the umbilical cord and reduces piglet survival

Late gestating sows are susceptible to high ambient temperatures, possibly causing farrowing complications and reducing piglet survival. This experiment aimed to quantify in the days leading up to farrowing the impact of sow heat stress (HS) on farrowing physiology and survival of the piglets. Pregn...
