Research Progress on Control Technology in Sow Parturition
Parturition control is an important reproductive control measure to improve the reproductive efficiency of sows and production management on farms.It can be used to predict and control the time of farrowing of sows,which not only facilitates periparturient management,but also helps to reduce post-parturient lack of estrus and newborn piglet mortality.This article reviews the principle of sow farrowing control,the factors affecting sow farrowing control and the current situation of exogenous hormone application for sow farrowing control,aiming to lay the foundation for transformation and upgrading of the pig industry and increase the quality and efficiency.
