Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / pig farming
English term or phrase: Cross-fostering
If any piglets are moved to another sow for cross-fostering, they should be moved to a sow in their same group – Control or XX.

WIKIPEDIA:

Animal husbandry[edit]
Cross-fostering young animals is usually done to equalize litter size. Individual animals born in large litters are faced with much more competition for resources, such as breast milk, food and space, than individuals born in smaller litters. Herd managers will typically move some individuals from a large litter to a smaller litter where they will be raised by a non-biological parent. This is typically done in pig farming because litters with up to 15 piglets are common. A sow with a large litter may have difficulty producing enough milk for all piglets, or the sow may not have enough functional teats to feed all piglets simultaneously. When this occurs, smaller or weaker piglets are at risk of starving to death. Herd managers will often transfer some piglets from a large litter to another lactating sow which either has a smaller litter or has had her own biological piglets recently weaned. Herd managers will typically try to equalize litters by number and also weight of individuals.[1] When done successfully, cross-fostering reduces piglet mortality.[2]
