However, these interventions may be less effective at higher farrowing room temperatures. This study was carried out at a commercial facility to compare the effect of drying and\/or warming piglets at birth on postnatal rectal temperature (RT) under relatively warm farrowing room temperatures (26.6 \u00b1 2.09 \u00b0C). Forty-five sows\/litters were used in a completely randomized design to compare three Intervention Treatments (applied at birth): Control (no treatment); Warming (piglets placed in a plastic box under a heat lamp for 30 min); and Drying+Warming (piglets dried with desiccant and warmed as above). Temperatures in the warming boxes over the study period averaged 37.7 \u00b1 2.75 \u00b0C. At birth, piglets were weighed; RT temperature was measured at 0, 10, 20, 30, 45, 60, 120, and 1,440 min after birth. Blood samples were collected at 24 h after birth from a subsample of one piglet from each birth weight quartile within each litter to measure plasma immunocrit concentration. Data were analyzed using PROC MIXED of SAS with litter as the experimental unit, and piglet as a subsample of litter. The model for analysis of piglet rectal temperature included fixed effects of Intervention Treatment, measurement time (repeated measure), the interaction, and the random effect of sow. Compared with the Control, piglet RT were higher (P \u2264 0.05) for the Warming treatment between 10 and 60 min, and higher (P \u2264 0.05) for the Drying+Warming treatment between 10 and 120 min after birth. Rectal temperatures were higher (P \u2264 0.05) for the Drying+Warming than the Warming treatment between 20 and 120 min. Responses to drying and\/or warming were greater for low-birth-weight piglets (&amp;lt;1.0 kg) than heavier littermates, but were generally less than observed in previous experiments with similar treatments carried out under cooler temperatures. Piglet immunocrit values were lower (P \u2264 0.05) for the Drying+Warming treatment compared to the other Intervention Treatments, which were similar (P &amp;gt; 0.05). Immunocrit values tended (P = 0.10) to be lower for light (&amp;lt;1.0 kg) compared with heavier birth weight piglets. In conclusion, drying and warming piglets at birth was more effective for reducing piglet RT decline after birth than warming alone, though the effect was less than observed in previous studies carried out under cooler farrowing room temperatures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/tas\/txab060","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,6]],"date-time":"2021-04-06T21:32:04Z","timestamp":1617744724000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Effect of drying and\/or warming piglets at birth under warm farrowing room temperatures on piglet rectal temperature over the first 24 h after birth"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"5","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2202-4065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katherine D","family":"Vande Pol","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL 61801, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andres F","family":"Tolosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL 61801, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Caleb M","family":"Shull","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Maschhoffs, LLC, Carlyle, IL 62231, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Catherine B","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Maschhoffs, LLC, Carlyle, IL 62231, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephan A S","family":"Alencar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Zootecnia, Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande, MS 79070-900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Clay A","family":"Lents","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"USDA, ARS, U.S. Meat Animal Research Center, Clay Center, NE 68933, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Ellis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Sciences, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, IL 61801, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021072416491964600_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"128","DOI":"10.1017\/S1751731115001913","article-title":"Effect of radiant heat at the birth site in farrowing crates on hypothermia and behaviour in neonatal piglets","volume":"10","author":"Andersen","year":"2015","journal-title":"Animal"},{"key":"2021072416491964600_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1051\/animres:19780206","article-title":"Echanges thermiques chez le porcelet nouveau-n\u00e9: application de la m\u00e9thode du bilan d\u2019\u00e9nergie","volume":"27","author":"Berbigier","year":"1978","journal-title":"Ann.
