Evaluation of reproductive parameters in a herd of pigs

The aim of this diploma thesis is to choose important reproductive parameters of sows from the available data, according to which it would be possible to statistically evaluate achieved reproductive level of analysed breed. It is necessary to define these parameters as accurately as possible with the shortest time required for measuring and collecting data. In the reproductive company SPV Plevnice were chosen 110 sows from different litters for the purpose of experiment. The day of weaning was on the 5th August 2015 and the sows were separated into 8 groups according to the order of actual litter, sow genotype and boar genotype, used for sow insemination. 13 basic reproductive parameters and 10 reproductive parameters reflecting sow genotype (BLBA x BAL) and boar genotype (4 breeds) BLBA = Czech large white x Landrace x Topigs, BAL = Czech large white x Landrase x Topigs x DanBred. The average value of born company piglets was 13,94. More specifically, total number of livebirths was 13,25 and total number of stillbirths was 0,68, which represents 4,88% of whole litter. Average number of weaned piglets per one sow and one litter was 12,16 with the loss of 1,06 piglet and statistical signifikance of risk and producing (p = 0,0436). The pregnancy rate after the first insemination reaches 89,82% and is influenced by average number of unproductive days 10,84 days. All these factors (including average lactation period of 27,06 days) forms meantime (154,03) with turnover 2,37 litters per year. As the most important factor is considered the indicator of weaned piglets per year, which in this case reaches 28,82 piglets/sow per year. In the next chapter there were given parameters in the term of old sow BLBA genotype and BAL genotype compared. In the next chapter the same comparation was used for boars. The impact of the breed was the best at sows of the last reproductive season, when the best boar L1536 had the highest number of livebirths with the average breeding loss (-1,1) 12,28 weaned piglets. Practically the same results had L1538 boar. However, in this case the number of livebirths was very low, so that the number of nurse sows was higher. The youngest L25 boar has the highest number of livebirths/sow per year, however concurrently the highest losses to weaning and therefore least weaned piglets in comparison with other boars. In terms of the distribution of the season, the worst results for the summer season (12.7 piglets born alive / litter)
