Abstract

The experiment was conducted to determine the effect of prostaglandin F2∝ as compared to placebo on group of 53 sows each on day 114 of gestation. Sows using PGF2∝ had shorter period between drug administration to farrowing (23.75 VS 52.24 hours, P = 0.0009), shorter period of farrowing (3.95 VS 4.26 hours, P = 0.64), lower percentage of stillbirth (1.94 VS 4.06%, P=0.096), higher percentage of sows started farrowing at 20-32 hours after drug administration (75.00 VS 19.23%, P<0.01), and higher percentage of sows finished the process of farrowing within 36 hours (96.15 VS 44.23%, P<0.01). PGF2∝ is an effective tool for using to reach a good farm management.
