 ==Introduction==
 '''Thin sow syndrome''' is a multifactorial condition in which sows loose a large proportion of their body weight during lactation and early pregnancy and fail to restore their condition post weaning. The weight loss is progressive leading to emaciation, poor fertility and death. The ethical and economical consequences are serious.

-Once the weight loss is severe and the lack of body fat has forced the sow into a catatonic state treatment is not usually successful. Sows should be fed high qualily, high energy feed ad lib and kept warm in suitable housing. Culling affected animals and replacing stock is preferable inmany cases.
