Methods for Controlling the Growth and Development of Replacement Gilts
Control of Replacement Gilts and Their Growth and Development
Replacement gilts refer to female pigs kept from the 5th month of age until the start of breeding that are to be retained for breeding purposes.
The essence of controlling the growth and development of replacement gilts is to control the growth and development of their various tissues and organs, which is externally reflected in body weight and body shape, because body weight and body shape are the comprehensive results of the growth and development of various tissues and organs. Pig breeds of different breeds and sexes have their own characteristics, but the general pattern is consistent. The goal of controlling the growth and development of replacement gilts is to allow the skeleton to develop relatively fully, the muscle tissue to grow and develop well, the adipose tissue to grow and develop moderately, and at the same time to ensure the full development of all organ systems.
