[The effect of different zootechnical practice methods on the duration of labor in swine with reference to the body condition of the sow].
In a single large pig production unit of 6000 breeding sows, seven groups of 100 sows each were formed at random on the 110th day of pregnancy. Each group was evaluated and divided according to body condition in three subgroups. The groups were treated as follows: Group 1 received a single 3 mg intramuscular dose of alfaprostol on the 113th day of pregnancy; Group 2 received a single 3 mg intramuscular dose of alfaprostol on the 113th day of pregnancy, followed 24 hours later by a single intramuscular dose of 10 IU oxytocin; Group 3 received a single intramuscular dose of 10 IU of oxytocin after the birth of the first piglet; Group 4 received a single 100 mg intramuscular dose of prednisolone on 113th day of pregnancy; Group 5 received a single 0.2 mg intramuscular dose of carbamylcholine on the 113th day of pregnancy; Group 6 received feed containing 12% fiber, at 3 kg per sow per day from the 110th day of pregnancy; Group 7 received a 3 ml dose of physiologic NaCl solution i.m. on the 114th day of pregnancy. The parameter "duration of parturition" was evaluated. Groups 4 (prednisolone), 5 (carbamylcholine) and 6 (fiber) showed a shorter duration of parturition when compared to groups 1, 2, 3 and 7. The subgroups 5 in each group showed a longer parturition time, when compared to subgroups 3 and 4.
