What insemination method should I use?

We continue our series of articles in which swine reproduction and artificial insemination expert Javier Gil shares key points about proper management to improve fertility and prolificacy. This article addresses the criteria to establish correct insemination methods.

Altrenogest supplementation during early pregnancy improves swine embryonic development

There is a lack of information about progesterone supplementation during early pregnancy regarding swine embryonic development. The objective was to evaluate the effects of progesterone/progestin supplementation from Day 6 of pregnancy on swine reproductive parameters.

Are all non-viable piglets, really not viable?

There are casualties in the farrowing unit due to poor colostrum intake but, how many are there really? Are they just being classified as non-viable piglets?

Genome-wide association study for sow lifetime productivity related traits in a Landrace purebred population

A genome-wide association study was performed to identify quantitative trait loci for SLP-related traits. A total of five genome-wide suggestive significant single nucleotide polymorphisms were identified.

Arginine and amino acids supplementation in gestating gilts

Arginine and other amino supplementation in gestating gilts improve farrowing and litter performance in low prolificity sows (≤14 total piglets born).

How to control piglets during split nursing

The disadvantage of some boxes is that some piglets are too big and lively and jump off easily.

Clinical case: Diffuse reproductive problems in high health conditions

The owner contacted us because he has seen a reduction in performance in recent months, although no decline has been identified in any particular parameter. He says that, overall, “the sows are doing worse".

Milk production accounts for 75 to 80% of the total requirements of lactating sows (Picture: Research Facilities, NEPSUI/ UFMG)

How efficient are the current hyper-prolific lactating sows? (1/2)

The study described here was designed to determine if the body tissue mobilization during lactation imposed by feed restriction could affect litter size and sow performance in the subsequent lactation.

Figure 2. The cost of a farrowing room with a double passage is a 10% higher, but it simplifies work because it provides good access to the feed trough and the rear of the farrowing pen.

Factors for improving reproductive performance of sows and herd productivity in commercial breeding herds

We review critical factors associated with reproductive performance of female breeding pigs, their lifetime performance and herd productivity in commercial herds. The factors include both sow-level and herd-level factors.

Catering for hyperprolificacy

Hyperprolific sows often do not perform as well in Asia as they do elsewhere in the world and this one day conference, Performance2017, was convened to try to find why this was the case.
