Modern hyperprolific sows are capable of producing larger litters than ever before, but this achievement has come with new metabolic challenges. Among them, ketosis remains one of the most underestimated and underdiagnosed conditions affecting sow performance during the transition period.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"744\" data-end=\"1184\">While ketosis is widely recognized in dairy cattle, its importance in swine production is often overlooked. However, growing evidence suggests that excessive ketone body production during late gestation and early lactation can negatively impact feed intake, body condition, milk production, piglet growth, and overall reproductive performance. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1365\">Understanding ketosis and implementing appropriate nutritional strategies can help producers improve sow robustness and maximize litter performance.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"11c4dgn\" data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1398\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1398\">What is ketosis?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1666\">Ketosis is a metabolic condition that develops when energy requirements exceed energy intake. In response to this energy deficit, the sow mobilizes body fat reserves to supply fuel for vital functions. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1944\">Fat mobilization releases non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) into the bloodstream. These fatty acids are transported to the liver, where they are either completely oxidized for energy or converted into ketone bodies, primarily \u03b2-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA). <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1946\" data-end=\"2306\">Ketone bodies are not inherently harmful. In fact, they represent a normal adaptive mechanism that allows the animal to cope with temporary energy shortages. Problems arise when fat mobilization becomes excessive and ketone body production exceeds the sow\u2019s capacity to utilize them efficiently.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2308\" data-end=\"2552\">This situation is particularly common during the late gestation and early lactation period, when the metabolic demands of fetal growth, colostrum production, and milk synthesis increase dramatically.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"l932py\" data-start=\"2559\" data-end=\"2621\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"2562\" data-end=\"2621\">Why are modern sows at greater risk?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2623\" data-end=\"2700\">Today\u2019s hyperprolific sows face a unique physiological challenge.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2702\" data-end=\"2949\">During the last weeks of gestation, fetal growth accelerates rapidly, increasing nutrient requirements. At the same time, voluntary feed intake often declines as abdominal space becomes limited. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2951\" data-end=\"3284\">Immediately after farrowing, the situation becomes even more demanding. Milk production increases sharply while feed intake requires several days to reach its maximum potential. This creates a period of negative energy balance in which body reserves are heavily mobilized.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3286\" data-end=\"3550\">If this imbalance persists, the sow enters a vicious cycle:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3286\" data-end=\"3550\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21504 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/phytosolutions.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cetosis-300x142.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"581\" height=\"275\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phytosolutions.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cetosis-300x142.png 300w, https:\/\/phytosolutions.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cetosis-768x364.png 768w, https:\/\/phytosolutions.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cetosis-705x334.png 705w, https:\/\/phytosolutions.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/cetosis.png 968w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3286\" data-end=\"3550\">As ketosis progresses, liver function may become compromised due to excessive fat accumulation, further reducing the animal\u2019s ability to adapt metabolically.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"sqhhe9\" data-start=\"3557\" data-end=\"3609\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"3560\" data-end=\"3609\">Why should producers be concerned?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3611\" data-end=\"3753\">Recent studies in hyperprolific sows have demonstrated that elevated BHBA concentrations are associated with several undesirable outcomes:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3755\" data-end=\"4021\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1fkbau\" data-start=\"3755\" data-end=\"3800\">Greater body fat and muscle mobilization<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"adiclm\" data-start=\"3801\" data-end=\"3841\">Increased incidence of postpartum hypophagia<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1j15eoc\" data-start=\"3842\" data-end=\"3899\">Reduced body condition during lactation<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"17n9m4d\" data-start=\"3900\" data-end=\"3935\">Lower piglet growth rates<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"jmvkt8\" data-start=\"3936\" data-end=\"3967\">Higher stillbirth rates<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"p58ypp\" data-start=\"3968\" data-end=\"4021\">Increased occurrence of neonatal digestive disorders<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"4023\" data-end=\"4237\">Importantly, many affected sows do not show obvious clinical signs. This means that subclinical ketosis can silently reduce productivity without attracting attention on the farm. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4239\" data-end=\"4407\">For this reason, ketosis should not be viewed as an isolated metabolic disorder, but rather as an indicator of inadequate adaptation to the transition period.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"4409\" data-end=\"4412\">\n<h3 data-section-id=\"eaji3j\"

data-start=\"4474\" data-end=\"4562\">Because subclinical ketosis often goes unnoticed, monitoring becomes essential.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4564\" data-end=\"4730\">The most practical biomarker currently available is \u03b2-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), which can be measured directly in blood using portable ketone meters.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4732\" data-end=\"4905\">Although no universally accepted threshold exists for swine, elevated BHBA concentrations indicate increased fat mobilization and metabolic stress.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4907\" data-end=\"5025\">For a more complete assessment of energy status, BHBA can be combined with additional biomarkers such as:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"5027\" data-end=\"5129\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1djaof9\" data-start=\"5027\"

helping improve energy availability and reducing the need for excessive fat mobilization.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6534\" data-end=\"6685\">By supporting glucose production, propylene glycol contributes to lower ketone body formation and improved metabolic adaptation.<\/p>\n<h4 data-section-id=\"1caqhzo\" data-start=\"6687\" data-end=\"6703\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"6691\"

data-end=\"7057\">Lysine<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"7058\" data-end=\"7250\">Lysine is the first limiting amino acid in most swine diets and plays a critical role in protein synthesis, milk production, and maintenance of lean tissue.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7252\" data-end=\"7389\">Adequate lysine supply helps reduce excessive muscle mobilization and supports productive performance

hepatoprotective and antioxidant properties.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7612\" data-end=\"7865\">During periods of intense fat mobilization, the liver becomes a critical organ for maintaining metabolic balance. Supporting hepatic function helps optimize nutrient utilization and contributes to overall metabolic resilience. <\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"7867\" data-end=\"7870\">\n<h4 data-section-id=\"lhgjci\" data-start=\"7872\" data-end=\"7904\"><span role=\"text\"><strong data-start=\"7875\" data-end=\"7904\">Supporting the modern sow<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"7906\" data-end=\"8061\">As litter sizes continue to increase, nutritional management during the transition period becomes increasingly important.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8063\" data-end=\"8274\">Ketosis should no longer be considered a rare or isolated condition. Rather, it should be viewed as a warning sign that the sow is struggling to meet the metabolic demands of reproduction and lactation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8276\" data-end=\"8571\">By combining glucogenic energy sources, essential amino acids, and liver-supporting botanical ingredients, producers can help sows maintain energy balance, support feed intake, preserve body condition, and improve overall productivity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8573\" data-end=\"8836\">The transition period represents one of the greatest challenges in modern swine production.
