Sperm DNA integrity in Landrace and Duroc boar semen and its relationship to litter size
Sperm DNA integrity in semen with good motility and morphology may be an additional prediction parameter for fertility in pigs.

A comparison between nulliparous and multiparous sows cervix with regard to post-cervical AI
The future design of AI strategies and catheters should take into consideration the morphological variations of the cervix lumen, which will depend on age and parity of the females.
Absence of seminal plasma from sperm-rich fraction decreases boar sperm quality characteristics
The seminal plasma from the sperm-rich fraction is important for the maintenance of adequate structural and functional characteristics of extended liquid boar semen.

AbstractA new device for deep cervical artificial insemination in gilts
The use of the deep cervical AI technique provides a new AI method as an alternative to cervical insemination and post-cervical artificial insemination for pigs.
Impact of light irradiation on preservation and function of mammalian spermatozoa
Mounting evidence indicates that light irradiation of mammalian spermatozoa (and of other animal species) increases their motility, capacitation and fertilizing ability, without causing any damage on the DNA.
Sperm membrane proteins associated with the boar semen cryopreservation
Boars sperm membrane proteins may explain differences in semen cryopreservation success, serving as freezability markers.

Every step between collection and the finished dose is a chance ..
Genetic potential only creates value when it performs on farm.
..
Body condition is more useful when you track how it changes.
Analysis ..Effect of enriching the sow environment and diet during gestation on maternal stress and piglet survival
Enriching the sow environment and diet during gestation therefore improved sow welfare and reduced piglet mortality at and soon after birth.
Stillbirths in relation to sow hematological parameters at farrowing: A cohort study
Piglet stillbirth was associated with several hematological parameters of the sow, namely hemoglobin concentration, mean cell hemoglobin concentration...
Indirect genetic effects for growth rate in domestic pigs alter aggressive and manipulative biting behaviour
The results of this study show opportunities to reduce harmful biting behaviours in pigs.
The effect of age, interval collection and season on selected semen parameters and prediction of AI boars productivity
The possibility of planning the production level has a special importance for AI stations, and its inaccuracy should be minimized by eliminating the factors differentiating the quantity and quality of the ejaculate.
The genetic correlation between scapula shape and shoulder lesions in sows
It is expected to improve the genetic progress of shoulder lesions and body condition score.
Effects of the different levels of dietary vitamin D on boar performance and semen quality
The possible mechanism of vitamin D action on boar performance was explored.
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.
Effects of betaine and heat stress on lactation and postweaning reproductive performance of sows
This study was conducted to evaluate the underlying physiological changes during heat stress and the effect of betaine supplementation in lactating sows.
Two commercial Type 1 PRRSV-modified live vaccines reduce seminal shedding of Type 1 PRRSV in infected boars
The results of this study provide clinical information on how to reduce seminal shedding of type 1 PRRSV in boars using type 1 PRRSV-modified live vaccine.
Combination of oviduct fluid and heparin to improve monospermic zygotes production during porcine in vitro fertilization
The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of porcine oocytes exposure to oviduct fluid before in vitro fertilization, during in vitro fertilization and during in vitro fertilization in combination with heparin.
A comparative study of the effects of Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens upon boar semen preserved in liquid storage
The effects of infection by E. coli were dependent of both bacterial load and storage period, whereas the effects of C. perfringens were mainly dependent on the bacterial load.
Age and seasonal-dependent variations in the biochemical composition of boar semen
Age- and seasonal-related variations affect the reproductive tract functions in the boar.
Fusion of boar sperm with nanoliposomes prepared from synthetic phospholipids
This study used flow cytometry to demonstrate stable incorporation of nanoliposomes prepared from a complex mixture of various phospholipids.
An economic analysis of sow retention in a United States breed-to-wean system
Retaining sows in the herd longer has economic benefits that could increase the financial returns of a breed-to-wean system.
Protect fetuses from infection with PRRSV
In this study, CD163-positive fetuses were completely protected from PRRSV in dams possessing a complete knockout of the CD163 receptor.
Factors of importance when selecting sows as embryo donors
The improvement in porcine embryo preservation and non-surgical embryo transfer (ET) procedures achieved in recent years represents essential progress for the practical use of ET in the pig industry.
Reproductive performance following non-surgical deep uterine porcine embryo transfer
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the weaned recipients' parity on fertility and prolificacy following NsDU-ET.
CRISPR to make a reduced-fat pig
UCP1 KI pigs are a potentially valuable resource for agricultural production through their combination of cold adaptation with reduced fat deposition.
