    Area of Science:

    • Animal Science
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Agricultural Economics

    Background:

    • Reproductive efficiency is crucial for economic success in pig production.
    • Reproductive failure necessitates performance record analysis for diagnosis and control.
    • National Pig Health Scheme data provides insights into herd performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze reproductive performance data from UK pig herds.
    • To identify factors influencing farrowing frequency.
    • To provide recommendations for improving reproductive efficiency.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of performance records from 68 herds in the National Pig Health Scheme.
    • Comparison of herd results with recently published UK production standards.

  • Evaluation of managerial aspects related to weaning and rebreeding.

    • Main Results:

    • Performance data from 68 UK pig herds were analyzed.
    • Production standards were related to obtained results.
    • Managerial aspects of weaning and rebreeding were identified as key areas.

    Conclusions:

    • Enhanced attention to weaning and rebreeding management is essential.
    • Improved management practices will increase farrowing frequency.
    • Optimizing reproductive efficiency contributes to overall pig production success.
