The aim of the research was to record body thermoregulation in piglet function of glycaemia, quantified by body weight at weaning. In order to a quick body thermoregulation of piglets after parturition Mistral and Mistral + Dexamethasone products were used. After their use a quicker dry is recorded in piglets (1 – 2 minutes), a slighter decrease in the body temperature, a smaller energy consumption, needed in thermoregulation, correlated to a higher glycaemia and stronger outlets, capable of colostrum consumption, and as a result, higher body mass at weaning.
