“…Meanwhile, reducing the fibre and increasing the fat content in the diet of lactating sows can reduce their heat production, thereby increasing their milk yield and reducing their weight loss during lactation (Black et al, 1993). In addition, some scholars found that adding the cinnamon oilcinnamon, arginine and nucleotides to the diet of lactating sows under heat stress can increase their feed intake and reduce their weight loss during lactation (Khamtawee et al, 2021; Laspiur & Trottier, 2001; Tan et al, 2021). However, there were no significant differences in their respiratory rate, rectal temperature and milk yield (Khamtawee et al, 2021; Tan et al, 2021).…”

To sum up, regulating the diet of lactating sows under heat stress can be one of the means to improve the feed intake, physiological indexes and reproductive performance of lactating sows under heat stress.…”

The environment in sow houses is the key to restrict sow production due to its significant effect on sow growth and reproduction. In this article, the effect of light, thermal and light–thermal–humidity environment in sow houses is systematically reviewed for sow reproduction and welfare according to the existing literature. The results show the optimal ambient temperature range for sows is approximately 16–22°C, as well as the lowest and highest critical temperature are 16 and 27°C respectively. Meanwhile, the increase of relative humidity from 50% to 70% is equivalent to the increase of effective temperature by 0.9°C in sow houses. In addition, the evaluation indexes are summarized to the future research direction is proposed according to the reviewed results. It can be concluded that the current research mainly focuses on the effect mechanism of light–thermal–humidity environment on sow growth and reproductive performance, as well as the optimal regulation range of light–thermal–humidity environment. In particular, it is a popular topic to further study the effect of light–thermal–humidity environment on the genetic material of sows, as well as metabolic parameters and body composition of their offspring. The above conclusions can contribute to guiding the regulation of light–thermal–humidity environment in sow houses and improving the sow welfare.

“…Milk supplementation in piglets improved growth performance that was reported in many studies [14,15]. However, most of hyperprolific sows are low milk production, especially in tropical climates [4,16]. Therefore, management to improve milk production in the lactation period should be concerned in commercial swine farms.…”

Both colostrum and milk quality and quantity can influence piglet survival and growth, especially in a highly prolific sow. The Danish Landrace × Yorkshire crossbred was selected for high prolificacy and challenged to provide enough colostrum and milk of high quality to all piglets. This chapter reviewed the mechanism of colostrum and milk production, basic information of colostrum, and milk quality (immunoglobulin, fat, protein, lactose, etc.) and quantity. The importance of colostrum and milk in modern sows on piglet performance and survival was addressed. Since the sow immunoglobulin cannot pass epitheliochorial placenta in the sow to the piglet’s bloodstream. Therefore, colostrum is a crucial role in piglet survival and growth. However, the amount of colostrum and milk production in hyperprolific sow still improve from high litter size. The knowledge about the factors influencing colostrum and milk quality and quantity, such as parity number, piglet, the environment in hyperprolific sows, may support veterinarians and farmers in the commercial swine farms for increasing pig production. Moreover, the technique to improve colostrum and milk quality and quantity were explained, such as feed supplementation in gestating and lactating sows.

“…A decrease in sow daily feed intake is correlated to a loss of maternal body weight and backfat thickness during lactation (J. S. Kim et al, 2015). Excessive backfat loss during lactation is associated with a subsequent increased percentage of stillborn piglets, reduced litter size and litter growth and prolonged wean-to-estrus intervals (Khamtawee et al, 2021;J. S. Kim et al, 2015;Maes et al, 2004;Tummaruk, 2013;Zhou et al, 2018).…”

Litter size in modern sows has been dramatically improved in recent decades by genetic selection for highly prolific sows. In a tropical environment, the average total number of pigs born and number born alive are reported to be as high as 17.2 and 15.1 piglets per litter, respectively. Therefore, the new production target in many herds aims to achieve 30–40 pigs weaned per sow per year. Despite the improvements in litter size, the mean preweaning piglet mortality rate remains high, at between 10% and 20%, in major pig‐producing countries. A sufficient daily feed intake by lactating sows is important for high milk production as sow milk yield is the limiting factor for piglet growth rate. Heat stress, which can occur when the ambient temperatures rise above 25°C, is one of the major problems that decreases daily feed intake and compromises milk yield. Therefore, it is necessary to encourage high feed intakes to achieve high milk yields. However, even with high nutrient intakes, productivity can be constrained by intestinal barrier function, limiting digestive ability, and allowing potential pathogens and/or toxins to become systemic. This is more likely greater under tropical conditions because of heat stress, exacerbating sow fertility problems. Underpinning sow herd performance, including responses to environmental challenges, is the selection of appropriate gilts, for example, selection and management for early puberty, thus presumably selecting the more fertile gilts and the correct management of lactation to improve the number of weaned piglets are some of the key factors for future reproductive efficiency of the farm under tropical conditions.
