Almost 40 years ago, in 1981, the University of Nottingham Faculty of Agricultural Science hosted their 34th Easter School, which in that year was on the topic of control of pig reproduction. The proceedings of that meeting were published as Control of Pig Reproduction by Butterworths, London in 1982. The success of the conference, coupled with the favourable reviews of the published proceedings, highlighted the value of an international conference which brought together exper...

The introduction of high-density SNP arrays in livestock species has enabled genomic evaluations on a scale not possible just a few years ago. Faster genetic gains are realized from application of genomics in pigs by increasing the accuracy of selection. This is especially important for lowly heritable reproductive traits, where female selection candidates have not yet expressed a phenotype at the point of selection and male candidates have no phenotype at all.
