Porcine semen as a vector for transmission of viral pathogens
Influences on semen traits used for selection of young AI boars
The post-cervical insemination does not impair the reproductive performance of primiparous sows
How to make a catheter holder
The goal of this trick is to make a practical, simple and cheap catheter holder.
Insemination with no hands
This trick consists in using a spring for holding the semen bag during the insemination.
Stimulate the sows as much as possible during their mating (G-spot)
Mating the stimulated sows eases the sperm transport to the oviduct, where they meet the ova.
Encapsulated porcine semen: semen preservation, release kinetics, sperm transport, and results in the farm
Sows inseminated with encapsulated semen had more sperm cells concentration at the site of fertilization.
At what age and weight should we inseminate our gilts?
20 years ago we inseminated gilts when too small, then we inseminated them when too heavy, and now we are returning to an intermediate weight.
Benefits of semen encapsulation to swine artificial insemination
Encapsulation allows to reduce the dose per sow and a sequential release of sperm.
The effect of pre- and post-mating dietary restriction on embryonic survival in gilts
Effects of lactation length and boar contact in early lactation on expression of oestrus in multiparous sows
Non-productive days (1/2): €16,000 hidden in gestation
Let us see the case of a farm with 5 non-productive days more than the average of the farms with the same profile. Where are these days lost?
Compounds from multilayer plastic bags cause reproductive failures in artificial insemination
PRRSV transmission via boar semen
Monitoring protocols in boar studs are often insufficient to timely detect an infection.
