Fifty sows were found dead overnight in a pig unit as a result of electrocution. Three sows were euthanased as a result of injuries caused by electrocution. An investigation was carried out to determine the origin of the incident and to prevent further incidents. Other causes of sudden death in sows are also discussed.
