Boar fertility
نویسنده
چکیده
The male part of fertility traits in pigs has not often been analysed because of missing semen quality data in the case of natural mating. With increasing AI in pigs more data about semen quality of boars is available, so its influence on litter size can be analysed on bigger data sets. With advanced recording systems, single matings are recorded and important economic traits like mating success can be included in parameter estimation. For AI-stations, and also for breeders using their boars in natural mating, it is of great interest to get information on mating success and litter size of their boars for further selection.

متن کاملThe Anatomy & Physiology of Sperm Production in Boars
Introduction The reproductive efficiency of the breeding herd depends upon the fertility of the boar. Male fertility is essential since the boar's DNA is the primary mechanism through which genetic improvements can efficiently be accomplished. In production settings, the critical event, which begins the reproductive process, is the meeting of sperm and eggs inside the female reproductive tract....
متن کاملBoar fertility and sperm chromatin structure status: a retrospective report.
Little information exists about boar sperm chromatin quality and fertility within a commercial setting. The objective of this report is to provide information about boar sperm chromatin integrity and its relationship to fertility. The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) was used retrospectively to characterize sperm from 18 sexually mature boars having fertility information. Boar fertility w...
متن کاملInfluence of boar contact on attainment of puberty in gilts after removal of the olfactory bulbs.
At 6-7 weeks of age the olfactory bulbs were removed from gilts which were then exposed to vasectomized boars for 30 min/day, starting on Day 160. Mean +/- s.e.m. age at first oestrus was similar in these gilts (230 +/- 15 days) to that in intact gilts not exposed to a boar (234 +/- 8 days) but greater (P < 0.05) than for sham- and un-operated gilts exposed to a boar (204 +/- 3 and 208 +/- 9 da...
متن کاملEffects of boar stimuli on the follicular phase and on oestrous behaviour in sows.
This review describes the role of boar stimuli in receptive behaviour, and the influence of boar stimuli during the follicular phase. Receptive behaviour (standing response) in an oestrous sow is elicited by boar stimuli, which can be olfactory, auditory, tactile, or visual. The relative importance of these stimuli is not clear. Individually, olfactory and tactile stimuli elicit a standing resp...
