Will greatly improve the response
of gilt$ that have failed to show
signs of estrus. If handmating,
expose the gilts to the boar
twice, rather than once a day.
Signs of heat will often appear
if the gilts are moved to another
part of the bare, to outside fac-
ilities, or to a pen where a
boar has been housed previously.
Do not mix different groups or
ages as fighting or other set-
backs may occur. Sows are
usually placed in a new environ-
ment after weaning. Withdrawing
feed and water for 24 hours after
weaning helps decrease milk pro-
duction, dries up the sow and
stimulates the sow to return to
heat.
About 85% of sows should
be bred successfully at the first
heat (3 to 7 days after weaning),
if given individual care. Sows
that are excessively thin after
weaning a large litter, will not
usually come into heat within this
time. Those that wean small
litters will need less feed to
bring them back to peak repro-
duction strength. Individual feed-
ing is more easily accomplished
with a tie-up operation, but can
also be done with free stalls or
group pens.
Hereditary factors, inbreed-
ing and breed characteristics
sometimes result in poor repro-
duction. A high degree of in-
breeding increases the percent-
age of infertile animals. Cross-
breeding increases the repro-
ductive rate, since it tends to
decrease the incidence of infer-
tility in both sexes.
Fertility is probably the most.

Gilts should be bred by 9
months, at a minimum weight
of 250 pounds. It is best to,
breed them after they have shown
at least one heat period. Suc-
cessful coeception, following the
second or third cycle of beat,
should result in 1 or 2 more
pigs born than when breeding,
