Seasonal Effects On The Reproductive Performance Of Gilts And Sows, Padet Tummaruk, Wichai Tantasuparuk, Mongkol Techakumphu, Annop Kunavongkrit

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

Although the domestic pig is not a true seasonal breeder, a seasonal effect on reproductive performance exists. A reduction in reproductive performance during some periods of the year is most pronounced in primiparous sows and is manifested in various ways such as, delayed puberty, prolonged weaning-to-first-service interval (WSI), increased number of sows returning to oestrus after mating, decreased conception rate, decreased farrowing rate (FR), decreased litter size and an increased incidence of abortion. Both high ambient temperatures and/or changes in photoperiod have been reported to be the cause of these problems. The pig is considered to be a short-day seasonal …

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

The objective of this paper is to review current knowledge on the relationship between weaning-to-first-service interval (WSI) in sows and subsequent reproductive performance, in order to optimize and improve mating efficiency. WSI is an important indicator of sows reproductive performance and is closely associated with subsequent fertility. Sows with a WSI of 4-5 days have a larger subsequent litter size, compared to those with a WSI of 7-10 days. Studies have demonstrated that the WSI influences the duration of oestrus, being shorter in sows with a longer WSI. In sows with a short duration of oestrous, the duration from the …
