The aims of this study were 1) estimate heritability and variance components for sow survival traits using random regression model and 2) to identify the best model when conducting a sow survival genetic evaluation for Thailand commercial farms by co

Summary Sow longevity is a key component for efficient and profitable pig farming; however, approximately 50% of sows are removed annually from a breeding herd. There is no consensus in the scientific literature regarding a definition for sow longevi

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between individual sire estimated breeding values (EBV) for litters/sow/year (LSY) and sire progeny means for farrowing rate (FR), removal parity and lifetime born alive (LTBA). Genetic pa

The purpose of this study was to determine the genetic and phenotypic relationships between litters per sow per year (LSY) and other economically important reproductive and post-weaning traits from data collected in a commercial swine breeding compan

Escalating replacement rates and production costs warrant attention on sow productive life (SPL). Increasing average SPL by one-tenth of 1 parity would result in an annual revenue increase of over $15 million in the United States. Research in model o

Sow longevity is a large and often overlooked component of profitability and efficiency for commercial swine operations. Culling and mortality rates average near 50 and 9%, respectively, leaving the responsibility of profitability on sows that can re

A study was conducted to evaluate differences in performance and in carcass composition and tissue deposition rates between purebred Duroc pigs sired by boars currently available and those sired by boars from the mid-1980s. Two lines were developed b
