Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating variations found in farrowing, the birth of piglets, offering a comprehensive study of several breeds of swine. The author, an esteemed expert in animal husbandry, conducted extensive research over many years, examining 720 litters and analyzing facto…rs that influence farrowing outcomes. By delving into topics such as gestation period, litter size, age of dam, breed, seasonality, order of farrowing, and succeeding litters, the book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of swine reproduction. It uncovers relationships between these factors and the weight, sex, and health of piglets, contributing to a deeper understanding of optimal breeding practices. Exploring the nuances of each variable, the book highlights the significance of age and breed in determining gestation length, the impact of litter size on individual piglet weight, and the influence of the dam's age on litter size and piglet mortality.
