Pig glossary

Placenta

It is a membrane that surrounds the foetus during all the pregnancy, and through it there is the nutritional interchange between the foetus and the dam. Each foetus is surrounded by an independent placental membrane. These membranes are expelled at the end of the farrowing, but some of them can be expelled in between the birth of the piglets.
