Contributors: B. Belstra n, W. Flowers n , W. Croom n, J. DeGroot * & M. See  n

author keywords: embryo mortality; lactation; postpartum; sow; uterine involution
MeSH headings : Amino Acids / urine; Animals; Biomarkers / urine; Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Collagen / urine; Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay; Female; Puerperal Disorders / urine; Puerperal Disorders / veterinary; Swine; Swine Diseases / urine; Uterine Diseases / urine; Uterine Diseases / veterinary
TL;DR: Overall, data from experiments I and II indicate that urinary HP does increase postpartum in a pattern temporally consistent with uterine involution, and this data is consistent with a post partum increase of soft tissue collagen catabolism. (via Semantic Scholar)

Factors affecting temporal relationships between estrus and ovulation in commercial sow farms

ANIMAL REPRODUCTION SCIENCE, 84(3-4), 377–394.

By: B. Belstra n, W. Flowers n  & M. See  n

Contributors: B. Belstra n, W. Flowers n  & M. See  n

author keywords: estrus; ovulation; insemination; seasonal infertility; sows
MeSH headings : Animal Husbandry / methods; Animals; Estrus / physiology; Estrus Detection; Female; Genotype; Insemination, Artificial / physiology; Lactation / physiology; Least-Squares Analysis; Male; Ovulation / physiology; Ovulation Detection / veterinary; Parity / physiology; Pregnancy; Seasons; Swine / physiology; Time Factors; Weaning
TL;DR: The data indicate that factors other than weaning-to-estrus interval, such as season and parity, can significantly alter DE and EOI, however, the effects of season and weaning -to-ESTrus interval on DE andEOI can be inconsistent among different farms. (via Semantic Scholar)
