Abstract
The intramuscular (dose: 90 and 150 mug/sow) as well as the oral appli cation (dose: 240 mug/sow) of clenbuterol at the beginning of the open ing phase of parturition induced in young (for the 1st time farrowing) and in older sows a - partly significant - prolongation of this phase . There was a tendency towards shorting of the expulsion phase. The pe ripartal losses of piglets after the application of clenbuterol were l ower: puerperal diseases were less frequent.
