Effects of second litter syndrome on reproductive performance in sows

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: This study examined the impact of SLS on reproductive parameters such as piglets born alive (PBA) accumulative number of PBA (APBA) farrowing interval (FI) and risk of decreased PBA (DPBA) up to parity 5. This study shows that the presence of DPBA3 decreases the risk of developing DPBA4, and the occurrence of DPBA4 reduces the risk of having DPBA5. Using the data from commercial farms, this study had some limitations such as the bias in genotype, environment, herd health management, boar effect, and infectious diseases. Despite such limitations, this study provides valuable information on the effect . . .
