6 de oct. de 2021 · The aims of this review are to identify how the literature defines low-viability piglets and to evaluate the management strategies implemented to improve PWM. A variety of neonatal measures for viability, contributing factors and current management strategies will be discussed within this review ( Figure 1 ). Figure 1.

Piglets may undergo a battery of procedures during the first few days or weeks of life, potentially including tooth-clipping, tail docking, castration, and ear-notching or another identification method such as tagging or tattooing.1 Each of these procedures involves a degree of tissue damage potentially resulting in the piglet experiencing pain.
6 de oct. de 2021 · Further, identifying these at-risk piglets allows interventions to increase their colostrum intake and heat provisions shortly following birth. The appropriate management of the pre- and post-partum sows will improve the chances of decreasing the number of piglets born with lower viability.

Simple Summary: Neonatal piglet viability is decreasing in concert with the selection for ever‐greater numbers of piglets born per sow per year. Their survival depends on the early intervention and management strategies used by production staff.
Identification of Piglets Reason: Identification is required for recording and management procedures. Several different methods are used to identify pigs depending on the type of farm: ear notching, tattooing, tagging, transponders, or electric implants.
6 de oct. de 2021 · PMID: 34679923. PMCID: PMC8532860. DOI: 10.3390/ani11102902. Abstract. Increased attention on the effects of the global push for a larger litter size has focused on the increased occurrence of piglets with decreased viability, which have lighter birthweights and a reduced ability to thrive in early life.
Procedures for Piglets. (Please refer to each procedure section if further detail is needed.) Administer iron dextran and antibiotic if needed. Clip needle teeth if necessary. Clip dried umbilical cord if warranted. Identify piglet with a tattoo, ear notch, or tag. Dock tail. Castrate.
