The aim of this study was to assess if the number of weaned piglets prior to rebreeding altered sensitivity of subsequent farrowing rate (FR) to fertility seasons, characterised by both Tmax and change in daylight length (dl). It was hypothesised that an interaction exists between number of piglets weaned and fertility season for FR. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | APSA 2021: 18th Biennial Conference of the Australasian Pig Science Association, Brisbane, Australia, 15th - 18th November, 2021 | Source of Publication: | Animal - Science Proceedings, v.12 (2), p. 178 | Publisher: | Elsevier BV | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 2772-283X | Fields of Research (FoR) 2020: | 300301 Animal growth and development | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2020: | 100410 Pigs | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | E3 Extract of Scholarly Conference Publication | Series Name: | Manipulating Pig Production | Series Number : | 18 |
