Stress-related effects on reproductive capacity
of pigs

Due to increased attention to welfare and changes in European legislation group-housing systems are becoming more used in several countries. Even though systems involving group-housing of sows are in many ways very appealing, the effects of high stress levels during a short but critical phase of the reproductive cycle, e.g., resumption of ovarian activity, oestrus and ovulation, are yet to be clarified. The aim of the presentation is to review the research focusing on the possible factors, which may impair the reproductive processes of the pig.
