Earlyembryonic development in prolific Meishan pigs

Ford S. P. , Youngs C. R. ,

Prenatal mortality in European pigs is estimated at 30-40%, the majority of which occurs between days 12 and 18 after mating. Chinese Meishan pigs are prolific, averaging three to five more pigs per litter than do European breeds. Early reports into the fecundity of Meishan females suggested that their prolificacy resulted from lower embryonic mortality when compared with European females exhibiting the same ovulation rate. The preponderance of evidence suggests that ther...

Editorial: Reproduction in Domestic Ruminants

Webb R

As stated in the first Proceedings, the economically important domestic species have been the subject of ongoing reproductive research over many decades. The aims of researchers and clinicians have been directed at increasing fecundity and fertility, to manipulate reproduction for simpler management, to increase the genetic influence of selected individuals and importantly to improve animal welfare. A group of international researchers initiated the first symposium in Australi...
