Use of heterospermic inseminations in boar fertility
Sperm motility, morphology and three seminal plasma proteins were positively associated with heterospermic boar fertility.
Green light for a new DanAvl
Now is the start of a new chapter in the story of DanAvl, which is about ensuring the Danish pig producers the maximum yield of the potential of billions on export markets.
Frequency and time of gestation feeding and their subsequent effects on farrowing performance
Effect of feeding time and frequency during gestation does not affect farrowing performance.
Control points in the preparation of semen doses: sperm concentration (2/2)
This second part on AI stud management reviews the procedure for calculating sperm concentration and the elements that affect a correct assessment.
Hypor Increases Genetic Progress with New Testing Station in Sichamps, France
The feeding stations will further strengthen the Hypor Maxter and Magnus program, which has strongly improved in leanness and meat percentage over the past years.
First Shipment of Hypor Genetic Stock Imported to Distributor San Martin de Porres in Peru
Hypor recently exported 270 purebred pigs to distributor Huerta San Martin de Porres in Peru as part of Hypor’s expansion in Latin America.
Different feeding levels during wean-to-estrus and first week of gestation of sows
High feeding level during the wean-to-oestrus may increase farrowing rate but also may increase stillborn rate and reduce piglet birth weight.
New Hypor Libra* Sow Reduces Feed Costs From Farrow to Finish
The Hypor Libra* (pronounced Libra star) is the world’s most ‘prolificient’ sow: the sum of prolific and efficient.
Evaluation of producing and marketing entire male pigs
Farms with appropriate management, feeding and housing conditions have reduced levels of mounting and aggressive behaviour.
Finding new ways to improve feed efficiency
The primary aim of the project is to find genetics that give the best performance for a group of pigs in a pen. A second aim is also to find out how the microbiome influences feed efficiency, carcass quality, and behavior. A third aim is to find ways of more accurately fine-tuning feed and genetics.
Pig farmers to earn more through new genetics project in Uganda
The project will enable farmers produce pigs which meet their needs and preferences as well as the market demand.
New ISU swine geneticist hopes to help improve reproductive efficiency in industry
Serão said he hopes and expects to be able to introduce new traits that are heritable, easy to measure and economically important, into selection indices, with the objective of improving genetic response for reproductive performance in sows and boars.
Outcomes of gestation length in relation to farrowing performance
Premature births increase the number of intra-partum deaths and result in lower birthweights, the presence of apnoea, and severe metabolic alterations in piglets.
Selenium and vitamin E affects antioxidant status and reproductive performance in sows
Organic Se supplementation in sow diets may improve antioxidant capacity and reproductive performance.
Control points in the preparation of semen doses: temperature control and quality parameters (1/2)
The impact of semen used for post-cervical AI is 2-3 times bigger than that used to produce cervical insemination doses; therefore, preparation of the doses should follow an even stricter control program.
