“…Worthy of mention, this previous study focused on crossbred sows (Hampshire × Ghungroo) kept in the tropics (India). This explains the overall large difference between the DWG in piglets in our study compared with a previous study (36). We investigated German hyper-prolific sows kept under good management (about 190 g ± 30 in piglets suckled by nondiseased sows and 148-193 g ± 40 in piglets suckled by PDSaffected sows) and Patra et al (36) investigated other crossbred sows (Hampshire × Ghungroo) in the tropics.…”

“…Increased litter sizes are associated with lower birth weights, lower growth rates of many light piglets (51), and lower piglet survival (31,52,53). Decreased survival rates and more piglets with lower performance potential make the monitoring of diseases and infections, like PDS in sows, within pig production even more crucial (23,36,54). It is known that infrared thermography, in general, can help to find diseased sows early on (18,42,43).…”

“…Two earlier studies reported that piglets that suckled by PDS-affected sows had about 5% less daily weight gain until weaning than piglets that suckled by non-diseased sows (18,67). Patra et al (36) showed significant differences in DWG in piglets between PDS-affected and non-diseased sows in winter (PDS-affected; 97.78 g ± 23.76, healthy; 132.25 g ± 36.1) and in summer (PDS-affected; 118.63 g ± 18.73, healthy; 141.56 g ± 30.03).

“…In addition, the increase in litter variation due to large litters is an additional factor that minimizes survival rates of suckling piglets, especially of small suckling piglets (32) and especially in multiparous breed sows. High milk secretion can be expected in healthy sows reared under a favorable farming environment (management and feeding) for optimal expression of genetic potential for neuroendocrine support during gestation and lactation (23,(33)(34)(35)(36). During the suckling period, daily weight gain of suckling piglets of about 200 g can then be expected (37).…”

Precision livestock farming can combine sensors and complex data to provide a simple score of meaningful productivity, pig welfare, and farm sustainability, which are the main drivers of modern pig production. Examples include using infrared thermography to monitor the temperature of sows to detect the early stages of the disease. To take account of these drivers, we assigned 697 hybrid (BHZP db. Viktoria) sows to four parity groups. In addition, by pooling clinical findings from every sow and their piglets, sows were classified into three groups for the annotation: healthy, clinically suspicious, and diseased. Besides, the udder was thermographed, and performance data were documented. Results showed that the piglets of diseased sows with eighth or higher parity had the lowest daily weight gain [healthy; 192 g ± 31.2, clinically suspicious; 191 g ± 31.3, diseased; 148 g ± 50.3 (p < 0.05)] and the highest number of stillborn piglets (healthy; 2.2 ± 2.39, clinically suspicious; 2.0 ± 1.62, diseased; 3.91 ± 4.93). Moreover, all diseased sows showed higher maximal skin temperatures by infrared thermography of the udder (p < 0.05). Thus, thermography coupled with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems can help identify and orient the diagnosis of symptomatic animals to prompt adequate reaction at the earliest time.

Stress has a significant impact on reproductive health and fertility in both humans as well as various animal species. In particular, chronic stress can disrupt the delicate balance of the hormonal system that regulates reproductive function, leading to a variety of reproductive disorders and fertility issues. Beside the action of the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) system and the sympatho‐adrenomedullary system (SAM), other subsequent mechanisms have been incriminated. Thus, stress has also been associated with increased prolactin level, resulting in an inhibition of the hypothalamo‐pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) system leading to several reproductive disorders. Thyroid function is inhibited during chronic stress, and therefore considered an important regulator of reproductive function. Thus, and in particular by interfering with the HPA system, stress‐induced immune dysregulation can have adverse effects on reproduction. In addition, oxidative stress and inflammation have been proposed as potential mechanisms by which chronic stress affects reproductive function. This is caused by an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production that has a harmful effect on cells. Furthermore, inflammation can lead to tissue damage and scarring, which can affect fertility. The present review completes the complex mechanism linking stress and reproduction through the current knowledge in various animal species in a comparative point of view.
