A complete and total update in Breeding Sow Characteristics with the most comprehensive and effective program on the online educational market”

The most important reproductive objectives in breeding are early onset of puberty and waiting for the sow and her genital apparatus to develop before starting the first gestation, which should ensure a high ovulation rate and high uterine capacity leading to high prolificacy. It is also essential for sows to grow adequately, which will be assessed through body weight and condition, correct poise and temperament linked to a great capacity to adapt to adverse conditions.
 
However, the objective of nulliparous female reproduction is not only gestation, but to have high prolificacy throughout their reproductive life. In this sense, it should be noted that sows with high prolificacy in first farrowing will have high prolificacy in the following farrowings, and the other way around. This is why great effort must be invested in the breeding and diet of gilts, as they are the future of the farm.
