Abstract
This bulletin demonstrates the use of life tables in studying the early mortality experienced in pigs. The plot of the surviving fraction is useful in describing the general course of mortality in the postnatal period. Comparison of survival curves are accomplished most effectively by studies of age-specific mortality rates.
