Table 4.
Pregnancy rate (%), farrowing rate (%), total litter size, live-born piglets, and fecundity index (mean ± standard deviation) in inseminated sows from three experimental groups (F1, F2, F3).
| Experimental Group | Sows (n) |
Number of Inseminations per Sow | Pregnancy Rate (%) |
Farrowing Rate (%) |
Total Born Piglets (n) | Live-Born Piglets (n) | Fecundity Index * (n) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F1 | 58 | 2.50 ± 0.50 | 92.98 | 82.46 | 22.57 ± 4.73 | 18.45 ± 4.81 | 1521.12 ± 396.89 |
| F2 | 58 | 2.62 ± 0.52 | 96.55 | 89.66 | 20.50 ± 6.50 | 16.92 ± 5.20 | 1517.32 ± 466.68 |
| F3 | 58 | 2.53 ± 0.57 | 96.55 | 84.48 | 21.86 ± 4.28 | 18.82 ± 3.79 | 1589.60 ± 320.15 |
* Fecundity index was calculated as follows: farrowing rate multiplied by the number of live-born Piglets per litter.
