    Feed to Meat Ratio - [blank_start]How many kg of feed = 1 kg of carcass?[blank_end]

  6. 6Sow Reproduction
    Puberty @ [blank_start]6 months[blank_end]
    Oestrus cycle = [blank_start]21 days[blank_end]
    Mated [blank_start]2-3x per year[blank_end]
    Gestation = [blank_start]3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days[blank_end]
    Lactation = [blank_start]28 days[blank_end]
    Weaning to Mating again = [blank_start]7 days[blank_end]
    Piglets per litter = [blank_start]10-14[blank_end]
    Mortality before weaning = [blank_start]10%[blank_end]
    Mortality after weaning = [blank_start]3%[blank_end]
    1. A6 months
    2. B21 days
    3. C2-3x per year
    4. D3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days
    5. E28 days

  7. 7Boar Reproduction
    Effect on [blank_start]oestrus[blank_end] in sows and gilts
    Services per week = [blank_start]2-3[blank_end]
    Natural mating = [blank_start]1 Boar to 15-20 Sows[blank_end]
    Artificial Insemination = [blank_start]1 Boar to 45-60 Sows[blank_end]
    1. Aoestrus
    2. B2-3
    3. C1 Boar to 15-20 Sows
    4. D1 Boar to 45-60 Sows
  8. 8Farrowing Systems
    Domestic Sows produce [blank_start]large[blank_end] litters

    System Achievements:
    Decrease [blank_start]pre-weaning mortality[blank_end]
    High [blank_start]levels of hygiene to prevent disease[blank_end]
    Easier [blank_start]piglet management[blank_end]
    Separation of [blank_start]Sows during lactation[blank_end]
    Safe and easy [blank_start]access by staff[blank_end]

    Cant be in crate...
    [blank_start]>5 days[blank_end] before farrowing
    [blank_start]>4 weeks[blank_end] for lactation

  9. 9Mortality
    Adaption Problem: Piglets transitioned from a [blank_start]protected, controlled, intra-uterine[blank_end] environment to [blank_start]unpredictable external environment[blank_end]

    Approx. [blank_start]70%[blank_end] of mortality occurs in the first [blank_start]3 days[blank_end]
    - [blank_start]Asphyxiation at birth[blank_end]
    - must overcome [blank_start]respiratory, immunological, digestive,[blank_end] [blank_start]nutritional and thermoregulatory[blank_end] challenges

    [blank_start]12%[blank_end] mortality indoor with crates - [blank_start]18%[blank_end] outdoors
    Main causes:
    - [blank_start]stillbirth/poor viability[blank_end]
    - [blank_start]starvation[blank_end]
    - [blank_start]accidental crushing[blank_end]

    Piglet deficiencies
    - low [blank_start]energy reserves[blank_end]
    - immature [blank_start]immune system[blank_end]
    - limited [blank_start]ability to conserve heat[blank_end]

  10. 10High and Low Viability Survival Characteristics

    High:
    - [blank_start]heavier @ birth >1kg[blank_end]
    - born [blank_start]earlier in litter[blank_end]
    - higher [blank_start]rectal temp 1hr post birth[blank_end]
    - more frequently [blank_start]attempting to stand and walk[blank_end]
    - rapidly [blank_start]find udder and suckle colostrum[blank_end]

    Low:
    - [blank_start]low birth weight <1kg[blank_end]
    - born [blank_start]later in litter[blank_end]
    - longer [blank_start]birth interval bt/w piglets[blank_end]
    - born [blank_start]weak[blank_end]
    - take [blank_start]longer to make udder contact[blank_end]
    - born with [blank_start]a damaged/ruptured umbilical cord[blank_end]
    1. Aheavier @ birth >1kg
    2. Bearlier in litter
