[Comparison of the effect of an alfaprostol-oxytocin combination and of carbamylcholine alone for the prevention of intrapartum mortality of piglets with regard to the body condition of the sow].
In a single large pig production unit of 6,000 breeding sows, 3 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 on the 113th day of pregnancy a 3 mg single intramuscular dose of Alfaprostol, 24 hours later a single intramuscular dose of 10 i.U. of Oxytocin. Group 2: received on the 113th day of pregnancy a 0.2 mg single intramuscular dose of Carbamylcholin. Group 3: received a 3 ml intramuscular dose of physiologic NaCl solution on the 113th day of pregnancy. The parameter "intrapartal dead piglets" was evaluated. Group 1 and 2, especially in Subgroups KK3, showed significant less intrapartal death when compared to Group 3.
