Determination of new hematologic reference intervals for sows with optimal reproductive performance, according to reproductive stage, parity and body condition: A cohort study
Abstract:Background. Inappropriate feeding and reproductive management according to strategies in sow's reproductive efficiency produce important consequences on sow metabolism. The metabolic alterations can increase mortality and reduce fertility, productivity and lifespan of sows within a farm, decreasing herd output. In according to that, this research aimed to determine the effect of reproductive stage, parity and body condition on hematological parameters of intensive-production sows and also to establish new and … Show more
