Title: Research into stillborns
Post by: lamb_whisperer on April 06, 2011, 11:32:11 am

Hi everyone,

I went on BPEX's farrowing conference the other day and a researcher (Emma Baxter) from SAC gave a really interesting report on her studies into stillborn piglets,  Really made you think of what can be done to avoid.  If you google her, lots of articles come up.  Also, I believe her presentation was going to be uploaded onto BPEX's website. 

Just thought I'd pass it on to those who'd find it useful - I'm using some of the findings with the sheep!

Think there was something in a recent copy of Pig World. Thanks for the reminder. Will look it up.
