“…Large animal surgery and theriogenology resources cite duration of labor as a negative prognostic indicator for cesarean section in swine. 1,2 This retrospective study was dependent on owner-reported data for duration of labor, and exact times for duration of labor were unknown for many of the cases included. This limitation prevents formulating conclusions regarding whether the duration of labor affected survival of the dams.…”

“…Local or epidural anesthesia with combined mask inhalant anesthesia or injectable anesthesia is acceptable anesthetic protocol. 1,2,14 In swine cases of cesarean section for the relief of dystocia, sows may be in varying degrees of hypovolemia and shock. 15 Depth of anesthesia can be more easily and quickly altered with inhaled compared with injectable anesthesia; therefore, inhaled isoflurane was the anesthetic used to maintain general anesthesia throughout the procedure in all cases in this study.…”

“…The median litter size was eight piglets (range, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], with a median of five live (range, 0-13) and one dead (range, 0-11). The reported median number of piglets born prior to dystocia was one (range 0-10).…”

“…1 Cesarean section in swine is typically performed in cases of pelvic obstruction due to fetomaternal mismatch. 1,2 The approach for cesarean section in swine is well described, [1][2][3] but little information is available regarding complications and prognosis. Published veterinary literature focuses on elective cesarean section for derivation of gnotobiotic research piglets.…”

“…6 Some texts describing the procedure state that poor outcomes for both gilts/ sows and piglets should be expected due to exhaustion, shock, or severe stress, but this is not based on empirical studies>. 1,2 The objective of this study was to describe the signalment, clinical signs, and outcomes of swine that underwent cesarean section for correction of dystocia. We hypothesized that cesarean section in swine would have a satisfactory outcome for survival of the dam and for subsequent full-term pregnancy.…”

Objective: To report the surgical survival of dams and piglets and follow-up survival and future breeding potential of swine that underwent cesarean section for correction of dystocia. Study design: Retrospective study. Animals: One hundred ten client-owned, female swine. All swine included in this study were breeding stock for market pigs to be used for exhibition purposes. Methods: Medical records of swine that underwent cesarean section at The Ohio State University Hospital for Farm Animals for resolution of dystocia between January of 2013 and July of 2018 were reviewed. Signalment, history, number of piglets per litter, treatments, and surgical procedure were recorded. Follow-up information (survival, complications, and additional pregnancies) was obtained via telephone interview. Results: A fetus was not palpable in 77 of 110 (70%) cases at presentation. The median litter size was eight piglets (range, 1-14), with medians of five (range, 0-13) live and one dead (range, 0-11) piglets per litter. Follow-up was available for 52 dams, of which 39 (75%) survived. Complications were recorded in 20 of 52 (38.46%) cases and included incisional seroma formation, lethargy, and anorexia. Twenty-three dams became pregnant and farrowed after the cesarean section, with no reported complication in 13 of these. Conclusion: Cesarean section in swine is associated with a good prognosis for recovery from the procedure and a fair to guarded prognosis for future breeding.

Impact of tearing spermatic cords during castration in live and dead piglets and consequences on welfare

Background Although the tearing of tissues during castration is forbidden in the EU, it is still routinely applied in many countries. The goal of this study was to evaluate vocalizations and movements of male piglets undergoing castration by applying different techniques and pain treatments based on scores under practical conditions (Trial 1, n = 50) and to investigate anatomical features after castration of dead piglets with different techniques (Trial 2, n = 28). Results In Trial 1, treatment groups did not significantly influence the duration of castration. Both the duration of vocalization and the scores for vocalizations and movements were lower in piglets castrated under general anesthesia (P < 0.05). Behavior scores in conscious piglets did not differ. The incision and extraction caused lower vocalizations and movements than the pulling and severing of spermatic cords (P < 0.01). Movements were more intense during tearing of the spermatic cords than during cutting at the first and second severing (P < 0.01). In both trials, the remains of spermatic cords protruded tendentially more often from castration wounds after severing by tearing (P < 0.09). In Trial 2, the minimum, mean and maximum lengths of the testicles and spermatic cords were extended when severing was realized by tearing (P < 0.01). The mean relative testicle weight of 1.05‰ in dead piglets castrated by tearing was larger than that in dead piglets castrated by cutting (0.91‰) (P < 0.05). Conclusions The trials uncovered significant differences between behavior expressed by piglets castrated by tearing or cutting, indicating a higher pain level in the tearing group. It was found that the castration technique tearing increased the amount of removed tissues and might cause intraabdominal damage to the remaining tissues and vessels in a yet unknown dimension. These findings should be considered for implementation and stricter enforcement of the ban on tearing for castration.
