Key Points

This review aims to address the mechanisms of thermoregulation in newborn piglets and the factors leading to hypothermia-related mortality.
Analyzes thermoregulation mechanisms at central and cutaneous levels.
Discusses environmental factors impacting thermal stability.
Describes pathophysiological mechanisms leading to death from hypothermia.
Identified several factors, including low energy reserves and limited thermoregulation capacity, contributing to hypothermia.
Highlight behavioral adaptations in piglets, such as specific body postures, that help reduce heat loss.
Outlined the detrimental effects of adverse thermal environments on surviving neonate piglets.
