| Zusammenfassung: | Concerns have been raised about the prevalence of anemia in sows, yet our understanding of its consequences, particularly its impact on the farrowing process, remains limited. This study investigated the relationship between hemoglobin concentration (
) and farrowing duration in sows. A total of 101 sows (
= 16 parity 0, 15 parity 1, 24 parity 2, and 46 parity 3 sows) were monitored for blood HbC (Hemocue Hb 201 device) from the ear vein before farrowing (day 112 of gestation) and between 40 to 48 h after farrowing (day 2). Sows were categorized as anemic (HbC |
