How to Select Breeding Pigs When Introducing Them? A Detailed Guide to Key Considerations in Breeding Pig Selection
Considerations for Introducing Breeding Pigs - Selection of Breeding Pigs
When introducing breeding pigs from a pig farm, in addition to requesting a quarantine certificate issued by the veterinary quarantine department from the breeding pig sales unit, the following two points should also be noted:
Breeding boars. Breeding boars are required to be of pure breed, lively and active, with normal testicular development and not too much fluid in the prepuce. Adult breeding boars should have strong libido, mount actively, and be vigorous and powerful.
Breeding sows. When selecting breeding sows, choose sows with good individual development, no signs of disease, and quick reactions; select individual sows with well-developed reproductive organs, a relatively large, loose, and drooping vulva, and many teats.
