The uterine horns in sows are coiled to accommodate the large litter sizes they typically carry. This coiled structure increases the surface area available for implantation and nutrient exchange, supporting the development of multiple embryos. Additionally, the coiling allows for greater flexibility and space within the pelvis, which is essential during gestation and parturition.
