Small effective population size of the Kolbroek might be due to being raised in a research facility with limited boars and sows. Large White, Duroc and South African are commercial that have undergone strong selection for meat and carcass traits thus resulting in small effective population sizes.

Breeding Stock. If breeding is part of your homestead plan, you will want to choose a breed with large litter sizes and have strong mothering instincts. Red wattle are one of the best choices for the novice breeder since they are extremely fertile, typically produce litters of 10-15 piglets, have a docile temperament, and make excellent …

Outdoor housing of . can also be kept outside in camps where shade structures provide the necessary protection against wind, rain and excessive heat or cold. The capital required to start outdoor is therefore 20 to 30 % less than the amount of money required for an indoor unit.

F 1 x Large White crossbred barrows from two companies with 605 (company A) and 568 (company B) , respectively, were used. Data were from six Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus challenge trials with about 200 piglets each: PHGC17 (from 15 boars and 49 sows), PHGC18 (from 12 boars and 51 sows), PHGC21 (from …

The diversity of fecal methanogens of Erhualian (obese type) and (lean type) was examined using separate 16S rRNA gene libraries for each breed. A total of 763 clones were analyzed; 381 from the Erhualian library and 382 from the library were identified belonging to the genus Methanobrevibacter. Others were identified belonging to the genus Methanosphaera. The two …

Backfat thickness could reflect the energy reserve of female that is required for their reproductivity, especially gilts that might be selected as replacements. In this study, genetic and phenotypic correlations between backfat thickness (BF) and body weight (BW) at 28 weeks of age, and reproduction traits were estimated. They were considered for the possibility of using BF at the pre …

A total of 874 purebred , which were 622 sib-tested , 214 parent , and 38 unselected , were used for SNP genotyping in this study. Table 1 The number of genotyped and non …

We found that the frequency of I N /I N individuals was generally higher in than in Large White , and French had the highest frequency (8.98%) of I N /I N individuals . In this study, we sampled DLY that were derived from Duroc boars × (French boars × French Large White sows) in a commercial .

of German and any subsequent relationship to litter number and important fertility parameters for these sows. As a basis for data collection, 55 litters from primi- and multiparous German sows with a total of 832 piglets were used. From these births, 766 placentas were recovered and weighed, with their

A total of 278 Duroc × × Yorkshire barrows were slaughtered in 11 batches from March 2021 to February 2022 (62 in Spring, 67 in summer, 70 in autumn, and 79 in winter) (Table S1). were issued from seven Duroc boars used as terminal sire, the same boars being used at each season. These Duroc boars are from the same breeding

Introduction. Feed accounts for about 65% of the total cost in modern production and feed efficiency (FE) traits in are critical (Sanchez et al., 2017).Better FE dramatically reduces production costs, thus contributes to a reduction of the final cost of products and decreases expenses and energy consumption (Ding et al., 2018).
