Comparative metabolic and stress-related responses to adrenaline in Iberian and Landrace pigs
Results suggest that Iberian pigs are furnished with increased metabolic flexibility to face short-term stress.

Effects of drinking water temperature and flow rate during cold season on growth performance of weaned piglets
This study recommends a specific combination of drinking water temperature and flow rate for weaned piglets during cold weather for the consideration of animal welfare and production efficiency.
Few effects of sow lactational stress on maternal behavior, but altered physiology with implications for piglet early-life stress coping
Lactational stress resulted in increased cortisol in sow milk and saliva.
Effects of light spectrum on pig behaviour, health and growth
Light spectrum seems to have limited effects on behaviour, health and growth of growing-finishing pigs kept in commercial conditions with limited space and a relatively barren environment.

Gilt replacement simulator
Simulator designed by Xavier de Paz to calculate the entry of gilts when starting a farm, when increasing its sow census or in order to calculate the replacement rate of an operating farm.
