Ovarian responses to laetation management strategies

Soede N.M. , Hazeleger W. , Gerritsen R. , Langendijk P. , Kemp B.

A number of lactation management strategies can be applied to reduce negative effects of lactation on post-weaning fertility. This paper focuses on effects of lactation length, Intermittent Suckling and Split Weaning on follicle development and subsequent oestrus. It is concluded that a lactation length of less than 3 weeks still leads to suboptimal reproductive performance in our modern sows. Further, both Intermittent Suckling and Split Weaning stimulate lactational fo...

Studies on fixed-time ovulation induction in the pig

Brussow K.P. , Schneider F. , Kanitz W. , Ratky J. , Kauffold J. , Wahner M.

A technology that allows for manipulating of oestrus and ovulation, and would then also allow for fixed-time insemination, can be of great benefit for swine farms that operate using sow batch management due, at least in part, to savings in labour and the production of large batches of evenly developed pigs. Thanks to the current knowledge on endocrine regulation of follicle development and ovulation, and the availability of numerous reproductively active substances such ...
