The purpose of this article was to analyse data available on pig sex ratio at birth to provide information on its variability and the possible factors of influence. Factors that can influence the proportion of female or male offsprings are of interest in livestock production for practical reasons. Previous works show that exhaustive and conclusive information is not available in pigs. Nowadays, data collected by computerised pig management systems, or experimental projects aimed to test other hypotheses, enables the study of sex ratio variation. As an example, a small data set from a previous project aimed to evaluate the effect of birth weight on survivability was used in this study. The sex ratio variability among farms and its relationsh...
