Top  Previous  Next

What is the lambing rate and litter size of females with a first mating at 0, 6, 12 and 18 hours after onset of estrus, by month of year between 1997 and 2002? Also sows must have >1 mating/service. Does the time of year have an affect on the length of a female's heat and duration of ovulation? Does waiting to inseminate hurt reproductive performance at different times of the year?
