Gestational heat stress and phytogenic supplementation influence sow growth, bioenergetics, thermoregulation, and subsequent offspring resilience

Abstract The study objectives were to determine whether a phytogenic supplement reduced physiological stress in heat-stressed (HS) gestating sows and to evaluate how HS alters maternal growth responses and postweaning growth and stress responses in their piglets. Twenty-six pregn...
