1 Average of AIs per sow performed in our study. 2 Calculated in Table 6. 3 Calculated as: number of AIs (100) × number of AI/sow (2.55) × seminal dose cost. 4 Data collected from our study (Table 4). # Calculated based on F1 as the seminal dose type reference. † Calculated as: seminal dose cost per 100 inseminated sows using F1—seminal dose cost per 100 inseminated sows using F3. †† Calculated as: seminal dose cost per 100 inseminated sows using F1—seminal dose cost per 100 inseminated sows using F2. ¥ Calculated as: seminal dose cost reduction per 100 inseminated sows using F2/100. ¥ ¥ Calculated as: seminal dose cost reduction per 100 inseminated sows using F3/100. * Calculated as: seminal dose cost reduction per 100 inseminated sows using F2/piglets born alive per 100 inseminated sows using F2. ** Calculated as: seminal dose cost reduction per 100 inseminated sows using F3/piglets born alive per 100 inseminated sows using F3.
