Rozbor reprodukčních ukazatelů dosahovaných u prasniček a prasnic ve vybraném chovu

The aim of this diploma thesis was to analyse the reproductive performance of sows at the particular farm during the time period 2018-2020. The highest number of piglets born alive was observed in 2018 (16.5 pcs; p < 0.05) with the highest rate seen among the sows that have had previously 3-5 litters (17.0; p < 0.05). The highest number of piglets born alive was observed at sows inseminated during the spring season. The average length of pregnancy of the sows during the monitored time period was 116 days. However, the highest number of piglets born alive was reached at sows with the pregnancy length between 110-115 days (16.6 pcs; p < 0.05). Most piglets born alive were born to gilts introduced to the breeding cycle at the age higher than 290 days (15.1 pcs). And lastly, most piglets born alive were born to the sows inseminated by the boar catalogued as #85 (17.1 pcs; p < 0.05). The number of stillborn piglets in 2018 was 2.3 pcs. The number increased to 3.1 pcs in 2019 and slightly decreased in 2020 to 3.0 pcs. The number of litters with 3 and more stillborn piglets was lowest (12%) during the 1st parity then it rapidly grew until it reached its peak during the observed period at the 8th parity (45%)
