Genetic and phenotypic time trends of litter size, piglet mortality, and birth weight in pigs

The increases in litter size and piglet survival rates due to balanced breeding policies lead to reduced total numbers of dead piglets coinciding with a certain pig production volume.

Abstract

Effect of postpartum meloxicam administration to sows and split-suckling

Postpartum administration of meloxicam to sows reduced clinical cases of disease, increased ADG in pigs, and increased carcass weight at slaughter.

Abstract

Myo-inositol improves the viability of boar sperm during liquid storage

The addition of myo-inositol to semen extender improved the boar semen quality by decreasing the effects of oxidative stress during liquid preservation.

Abstract

Heat stress alters hematological parameters in barrows and gilts

Biological sex mediates, at least in part, the physiological response to heat stress.

Abstract

Heat stress alters the ovarian proteome in prepubertal gilts

Heat stress alters the ovarian proteome and multiple biological pathways and systems in prepubertal gilts; changes that potentially contribute to female infertility.

Abstract

Vaginal and vestibular electrical resistance as an alternative marker for optimum timing of artificial insemination

Change in electrical resistance in the vagina has the potential to accurately predict ovulation timing, but more work is required.

Abstract

Analysis of artificial insemination center management factors that contribute to sperm parameters and boar longevity

The results reveal better sperm quality for untreated boars than for PGF2α-treated boars, which might indicate that the underlying fertility of boars necessitating treatment is inferior compared to boars that can be collected without further treatment.

Abstract

Differences of semen microbiota among breeding boars with different reproductive ages

The semen of older boars contained a higher abundance of harmful bacteria, which contributes to the observed reduction in semen anti-oxidant capacity and overall semen quality in this group.

Abstract

Genetic associations between human-directed behavior and intraspecific social aggression in growing pigs

Heritability estimates for all studied traits suggest they could be suitable as a method of phenotyping aggression and fear/boldness for genetic selection purposes.

Abstract

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.

Lameness in pregnant sows alters placental stress response

Lameness may decrease sow gestation length and reduce placental efficiency in protecting the offspring from the sows’ stress response.

Genetic analysis of protein efficiency and its association with performance and meat quality traits under a protein-restricted diet

Protein efficiency is a heritable trait that can be considered in breeding programs to reduce the environmental impact of pig production.

Analysis of image-based sow activity patterns reveals associations with piglet survival and early growth

The live-born piglets of sows that were more active the day before farrowing, standing and in other activity than drinking and eating, had higher survival rates.
