Good Points Good milkerProlificSuperior mothering Good FCR
Bad Points Weak Legs Weak resistance to diseases
Sire line Duroc • Pietrain
Good Points
•Good carcass quality•Resistant to rugged conditions•Good ADG and FCR•Strong legs
•High lean-to-fat ratio•Superior carcass quality
Bad Points •Poor milker and mothering ability
•Poor milker and mothering ability•Poorer ADG and FCR•Weak resistance to stress
TWO TYPES OF PRODUCTION
GILT/BREEDER PRODUCTION
Products: quality gilts or breeders for internal replacements or for breeder sales
MARKET HOGS PRODUCTION
Products: PIGS for slaughter meat or market sales
Gilt/Breeder Production Products are purebreeds or cross-breeds of two
purebreeds Products are either: GGP, GP, or PS (parent stock) Example:

Market Hogs Production Market hogs - produced via line
breeding to combine good traits of each line
Example:
PS Gilts ♂ Duroc/Pietrain+
Market Hogs F1 PRODUCTS
Cross of TWO DAM / SOW LINES (LW + LR)
SIRE / BOAR LINE (Carcass Quality
Lines)
Choosing the Breeders for Gilt/Breeder Production
Physical Features Reasons
Strong legs and back
> 6 farrowings
6-7 pairs of teats Wean > 18 piglets/year
Good ADG > 600 grams ADG
Form of genitalia Minimize dystocia, infection

Comes into heat on regular basis
• Estrus / Heat Detection
Signs:• Swollen, reddish genitalia• Thick, sticky discharge• Ears stand erect in presence of boar• Mounts other pigs• Assumes mating stance when
mounted – STANDING HEAT
Breeding Soundness
Swollen, reddish genitalia
Which is swollen?
Ears stand erect in presence of boar
Mounts other pigs
Haunch Pressure Test
Riding the Back Test
BREEDER SELECTION in Growing to Finishing Stage – Growth Rate, Muscle and Trimness
Fast-growing – shorter days to market weight
Low F C R – Feed Conversion Ratio
High A D G – Average Daily Gain
Lean meat – less fat, more muscles
SELECTION OF BREEDING STOCK FOR PRODUCTION
BREEDER SELECTION in Growing to Finishing Stage – UNDERLINE
6 TO 8 PAIRS OF TEATS - Evenly spaced
No inverted teats
No blind teats
Functional teats
