Having described certain aspects of confinement in modern pig reproductive farms, the writers give a list of the main diseases in sows. Urinary problems are the most frequent. They can be linked to certain aspects of confinement, as can also be locomotory or respiratory troubles. This is not sufficient, however, to condemn modern conditions in reproductive pig farms but appropriate adjustments can be made to associate good health in the animals and satisfactory performances. The advantage of studies on the behaviour of sows is stressed, notably within the framework of ecopathological studies.
在描述了现代养猪繁殖场的某些圈养方面后，作者列出了母猪的主要疾病。泌尿系统问题最为常见。它们可能与圈养的某些方面有关，运动或呼吸系统问题也是如此。然而，这并不足以谴责现代养猪繁殖场的条件，但可以做出适当调整，以确保动物健康良好并表现令人满意。文中强调了研究母猪行为的好处，特别是在生态病理学研究的框架内。
