Popis: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of parental genotype and parity number on the litter size properties of sows (number of live born, stillborn and weaned piglets). The investigation was conducted on a farm in Vojvodina. The analysis included 65535 litters that originated from five genotypes of dams (sows with unknown origin, n = 20980; Yorkshire, n = 3189; Landrace, n = 22426; F1(YxL), n = 14251; F1(LxY), n = 4689) and five genotypes of sires (Yorkshire, n = 21641; Landrace, n = 26623; Pietrain, n = 485; Duroc, n = 13463; Hampshire, n = 3323). Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that the genotypes of the dams had statistically significant (p
