Table 5.
Pregnancy rate (%), farrowing rate (%), total-born piglets, live-born piglets, and ± fecundity index (mean ± standard deviation) in sows inseminated with the three experimental groups (F1, F2, F3). The global group includes the data of all the sows used in the study.
Experimental Group | Sows (n) | Pregnancy Rate (%) | Farrowing Rate (%) | Total Born Piglets (n) | Live-Born Piglets (n) | Fecundity Index * (n) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Global | 18 | 100 | 94.4 | 20.17 ± 4.6 | 15.58 ± 4.7 | 1471.5 ± 450.3 |
F1 | 6 | 100 | 100 | 22.66 ± 4.4 | 14.50 ± 5.6 | 1450.0 ± 568.3 |
F2 | 6 | 100 | 83.3 | 20.60 ± 1.6 | 18.20 ± 2.8 | 1516.0 ± 238.5 |
F3 | 6 | 100 | 100 | 17.33 ± 5.5 | 14.50 ± 4.9 | 1450.0 ± 92.9 |
* Fecundity index was calculated as follows: farrowing rate multiplied by the number of live-born piglets.
