1Litter ADG = (litter weaning weight – litter live birth weight after cross fostering)/days of lactation.

2Average pig birth weight = total pig birth weight/total pigs born.

3Average live pig birth weight = total live pig birth weight/total live pigs born.

4Average pig BW at weaning = total pig weight at weaning/total pigs at weaning.

5Pig ADG = (average pig weaning weight – average live birth weight)/days of lactation.

6Survivability (%) = (pigs weaned/pigs born alive after cross fostering) × 100.
