Table 1. Parameter values used in the metapopulation dynamics model reared in a 7-batch rearing system (from: [34,35]).

Parameter description	Value
Duration of a sow reproductive cycle (days)	147
- Duration in service room (days)	32
- Duration in gestating room (days)	82
- Duration in farrowing room (days)	33
Duration of a growing pig cycle (days)	182
- Duration in farrowing room (days)	28
- Duration in nursery room (days)	49
- Duration in finishing room (days)	105
Interval between two successive batches of sows and pigs (days)	28
Culling rate after weaning for sows (%)	16.4a
Average number of piglets per litter	11.5
Number of sows per batch	24
Number of piglets per batch	276

Assumptions are based on current knowledge on swIAV.

^a16.4% of breeding sows are culled at each reproductive cycle corresponding to a culling rate of 38.5% per year with 2.35 reproductive cycle per sow per year (reproduction performance values, [34]).
