Reproductive performance of gilts and weaned sows grouped at different days after insemination
Group housing gestating sows 2 days after breeding compromised litter size; however, mixing gilts on days 1 to 4 after breeding did not impair reproductive performance.
Vulva width could serve as useful gilt selection criteria
Reproductive tract scoring methods as a tool for identify gilts with improved productivity as breeding herd females.
Management factors associated with sow reproductive performance after weaning
In conclusion, some management practices, such as feeding strategy of breeding gilts, housing conditions of sows...have an influence on the outcome of reproductive parameters.
