Planate - Consistent planned induction of farrowing
By David G S Burch BVetMed MRCVS, Octagon Services Ltd - The use of prostaglandins for the controlled induction of farrowing has been successfully and widely used over many years. The advantages are to improve batching of farrowing and to induce farrowing in the daytime when labour is more readily available and farrowing can be better supervised, so prompt assistance may be given to a sow, which may have difficulty.
