Gestational heat stress alters postnatal offspring body composition indices and metabolic parameters in pigs.

Gestational heat stress alters postnatal offspring body composition indices and metabolic parameters in pigs.

The study objectives were to test the hypothesis that heat stress (HS) during gestational development alters postnatal growth, body composition, and biological response to HS conditions in pigs. To investigate this, 14 first parity crossbred gilts were exposed to one of four environmental treatments...
