The aim of this study is to evaluate the reproductive and productive indicators of Landrace pig breeding. Sows of basic herd and breeding nucleus are divid into four groups according to the age of the gilts, sows at risk litters, the sows producing litters and sows for 6 or more litters. Reproductive indicators of sows, fertility (number of piglets born, number of piglets born alive, number of piglets weaned) and milk production, are evaluat. Comparing the results of the observed Landrace pig herd population in the Czech Republic, it found that better results are achieved by breeding Landrace population. The achievement in the observed enterprise is 15.8 ? 2.2 units of all piglets born in a litter, 14.4 ? 2.3 units of piglets born alive per litter and number of piglets wean per litter is 9.4 ? 1.6 piglets. Population reaches fewer piglets born in a litter and more of the preserv. This proves that breeding must seek to reduce differences between piglets born and preserv. This is relat to milk production of sows, which is also below the average for the whole population. Furthermore, the results of the performance of gilts and male pigs according to the methodology for field testing are evaluat. For performance testing the average backfat thickness (mm) of lean meat (%) and average daily gain (g) in the unified testing are assessed. Population achieves better results in the proportion of lean muscle in both gilts and male pigs for both monitoring years. The greatest difference is reach in 2013 with male pigs and that is about 7%. Backfat thickness is on average about 1 mm higher than the reference breeding population. Nowadays the interest in breeding animals is decreasing. In 2013, 3 male pigs and 88 gilts were sold. |
