Abstract:

Labor is a physiological event involving a sequential, integrated set of changes within the myometrium, deciduas, and uterine cervix that occur gradually over a period of days to weeks. Biochemical connective tissue changes in the uterine cervix appear to precede uterine contractions and cervical dilation, and all of these events usually occur before rupture of the fetal membranes. In other word Parturition is the process of delivery of the fully grown fetus on the completion of the normal pregnancy period.

Reproduction – parturition, neonatal physiology, lactation

Parturition – control • Parturition requires myometrial contractions and cervical softening. • The myometrium is a functional syncytium (coupled by gap junctions) so contractions are coordinated. Contractions occur because action potentials cause Ca influx; oestrogen-primed myometrium shows pacemaker potentials, which initiate APs if they are large enough. Prostaglandins liberate Ca from intrac...

Relationships between colostrum production by primiparous sows and sow physiology around parturition.

Relationships between hormonal and metabolic changes around parturition and colostrum yield and composition were investigated in 16 Landrace x Large White primiparous sows. Blood samples were taken daily from d 105 of pregnancy to d 2 postpartum (with d 0 being the day of parturition). Colostrum samples were taken at the onset of parturition (T0), and then 3, 6, and 24 h later (T3, T6, and T24,...
