Effect of split weaning on reproductive performances of Ghungroo sow
Abstract
Split weaning has significant impact on reproductive performances of sows especially return to estrus and subsequent fertility in sows. Piglet body weight at birth, piglet body weight at weaning, piglet body weight at 8th weeks of age, piglet mortality, weaning to estrus interval, farrowing interval and subsequent littersize were evaluated. Piglet weight at weaning was significantly (P˂0.05) higher in control group T0 (10.48±0.56 kg) as compared to treatment group T1 (3.31±0.08 kg) and T2 (4.63±0.17 kg). It was found that return to estrus and subsequent fertility in T1 and T2 Ghungroo sow group differ significantly with T0 group (Control group).
