They also highlight various mitigation strategies aimed at optimizing the well-being of sows and piglets in the farrowing environment.

It examines recent advancements in technology that hold the potential to enhance animal wellbeing, profitability, and performance during the weaning period.
The final chapter delves into the period of transition from weaning, the primary etiological agents involved, the risk factors for their introduction and diffusion within the farm, and the available measures for their control.
