NPD: An invisible component for herd productivity
We recommend that producers pay more attention to gilts and sows that are at risk of increasing NPD. Situations of increased risk are described.
Strategic value of boar studs in production systems
Production of a minimum number of doses to maintain profitability and the increase in post-cervical insemination leads to an increase of the doses produced per boar and, therefore, their share of responsibility in the production process.
Use of altrenogest on pig farm
The shorter and lower dose regime saves money but there is an increased risk of follicular cyst development, which may occur at doses below 13mg/day.
Economic impact of post-cervical insemination on a farm
Introduction of post-cervical insemination has a very significant economic impact on the whole of the pork industry, and is a challenge of parallel magnitude to that raised by the transition from natural service to artificial insemination.
Control of oestrus in problem gilts and sows
Meeting batch breeding targets requires availability of enough service-ready weaned sows and gilts.
Optimization of post-cervical insemination in pigs: critical points
This article lists the critical points that must be considered for a successful post-cervical insemination in sows.
Improving the sows perception of the boar
The idea is to modify the doors of the pen where sows are housed in groups to increase the contact with the boar.
Current state of post-cervical insemination in multiparous, primiparous and nulliparous sows
It is necessary to find alternatives to definitely implement this technique in primiparous sows and start its use in gilts.
Morphological study of boar sperm during their passage through the female genital tract
Analysis of hygienic critical control points in boar semen production
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.
