Title:
Effect of leg conformation on survivability of Duroc, Landrace, and Large White sows
Author(s): X. Fernàndez de Sevilla, E. Fàbrega, J. Tibau and J. Casellas
Publication Date: January 1, 2008
Reference: Journal of Animal Science (2008) 86:2392-2400
Country: Spain

Summary:

Longevity data was analyzed from 587 Duroc and 239 Landrace pigs, with special emphasis on the effect of leg conformation. It was confirmed that leg conformation does have substantial effect on sow longevity, where an accurate removal of poorly leg-conformed candidate gilts before first mating could improve sow survival and reduce culling costs.
