- Abstract
The article presents a study on 60 hybrid Yorkshire-Landrace penned sows presented with eutocic farrowing and dystocic parturition. The animals were divided into two subgroups: 15 eutocic and 15 dystocic sows received oxytocin 0.083 international unit per kilogram and 15 other eutocic and 15 dystocic sows received saline solution intramuscularly, simultaneously. Result showed that the schedule of dose would help to decrease the number of stillbirths in eutocic and dystocic farrowing sows.
