Short summary
Dystocia in swine is a risky condition that causes stress and pain to sows and piglets. This study investigated factors affecting dystocia in induced farrowings, thereby providing more knowledge into this underestimated issue. Results showed that dystocia is common in swine; relative birth order, birth weight, and stillbirth were the most significant risk factors for dystocia. These data suggested that last one-third of farrowing process is most important stage to be supervised.
