Stillbirth concerns about 2.5 million piglets each year in France and is expected to worsen in the coming years, due to hyperprolific sows. The present study was performed to determine the risk factors of the presence of stillborn piglets or mummies in the litter using data from three experimental herds. From June 1999 until June 2000, sow, stillborn and mummy characteristics were closely recorded around farrowing. Information was recorded on 455 litters, from 308 sows. After selection, a total of 447 litters, originating from 302 crossbred (Large White $\times$ Landrace) sows were used. Two hundred and fifty-five litters had no stillborn. Neither individual piglet body weight nor variability of piglet body weight within litters were found ...
