Abstract | The skin abrasion and subsequent infection of wounds and joints are very frequent in piglets in farrowing pens on commercial farms. The disinfectant with glycerine content used after farrowing created oil film on plastic grates and piglets slid back on this smooth surface. The reduction of thoracic limbs injury was noted after deletion of disinfection. |
