Breeding Boar Feeding and Management Techniques: Training and Utilization Methods

Training of breeding boars: After breeding boars reach sexual maturity, they often mount each other and masturbate, which in severe cases can cause damage to the reproductive organs of breeding boars and reduce their breeding value. Breeding boars should be mated according to a plan, and especially during the peak breeding season, breeding boars should be used reasonably. Young replacement breeding boars can only be mated 1 to 2 times per week. Adult boars in normal use can be used at most 5 times per week. For breeding boars used for artificial insemination, semen is collected 4 days per week, once per day. If a replacement boar is used for the first time, then the semen collected the first time should be discarded and not used. This is because sperm stored in the body for a long time have poor motility and poor quality.
